I opened my daycare home in February, 2016. I provide a safe, fun and friendly home environment for your child. I live in the home where I was raised with 9 siblings and where I raised my son. I have loved being around children my whole life. Besides caring for her own children, my mother did daycare for over 35 years. As we got older, we helped with our younger siblings and the daycare children. As an adult, I was her paid assistant from 1982-1985 until I started my first daycare home. I have been a volunteer at St. Peter's Church teaching Religious Education to 2nd Graders. I was a den mother for several years. I have numerous nieces and nephews. I had worked outside the home at the same company for the last 21 years but left to pursue my passion of taking care of children full-time, helping them learn through play. I believe children learn through every day activities and do not need to be in a structured school setting. That being said, I will be doing story and reading time, music, arts and crafts, games, outdoor play and other learning activities as time allows. I have a large yard and parks nearby. I am licensed for child care through DCFS. Nutritious meals are provided. I am in walking distance of Harrison Street School.

Grannycare In Geneva L.l.c

407 N. Bennett Geneva, IL

< 1 mi

Grannycare in Geneva is a DCSF licensed, tax deductible, daycare, with all the qualifications to meet your family needs. We care for infants thru school age children, with a preschool setting and FT licensed assistant to bring fun to the learning process. We work with AOK for school readiness, and are involved with Fit for Kids, a consortium in Kane County that supports wellness, nutrition, fitness. We are registered with Illinois Gateways Registry for Early Childhood Education and are involved with these organizations to excel in providing your children with the best, most recent programs available. www.grannycareingeneva.com is my website, and I invite you to read all the information to ensure full disclosure of my mission philosophy to see how we compliment one another. Licensed daycares have to follow high standards and are the safest because of a wide range of criteria we have to meet. At Grannycare, we enjoy the beautiful setting overlooking the Fox River, and the spacious areas of an entire 9 room house, with a wonderful yard and many other outside spaces to explore and grow. The great benefit of a small family child care home is that it can provide a safe and loving environment in which all the children can learn and grow; developing life skills that will enrich their lives forever. Institutional environments will always be in their lives, and their own family environment is the nucleus from which their lives evolve. But family environments often don't include the same social mix as a family child care home. Many children grow up without learning the simple, important lessons of life -like sharing, taking turns, and being patient. Sometimes it's because they are the only child or because they are not close enough in age to a sibling. Grannycare in Geneva is all about restoring the simple things in life. I had a day care in the early '70s. I was the mom of four children born within five years; it was a fabulous time. I remember teaching my children manners: how to share, how to play fair, how to say "I'm sorry " when they hurt someone - all the behavior traits needed in a healthy social culture. That is what my daycare/family child care is all about.

LICENSED IN-HOME DAYCARE ~~ At my childcare, I offer a secure place for your children to play, work and learn with other children. I value diversity, and welcome children between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years old regardless of race, gender, religion, or disability. I believe that children learn through active exploration and play and that self-esteem is built on mutual respect between us all - adults and children. I structure my program to be responsive to the needs of each child. I therefore offer opportunity for group activities and privacy to play individually. I do my best to ensure the safety, comfort, health, and happiness of all children in my care at all times. I have been caring for children since 2003 in my home daycare. I am licensed through DCFS and am also a registered provider with YWCA Child Care Resource &amp; Referral. I am certified in infant and children CPR &amp; First Aid. My program incorporates Play-based learning, in which, children will learn their basics such as ABCs, 123s, colors, shapes, etc... I'm enrolled in association for child development program. That helps me continue to be educated in children's nutrition and health concerns. I have taken classes at the Dupage Children Museum to learn how to incorporate play in children's daily activities so they learn Math and Science at an early age. My hours are 7am to 5pm. I'm also available for additional hours before 7am or after 5pm for additional cost. I'm very flexible with my availability. All you have to do is ask. I believe in open communication.

Updated 6/7/16. Current Availability: ***** I do NOT have any infant availability until August, 2017. ***** - 1 Full-time space (Ages 2+ only). About Carlee (The Owner): I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and have worked in many different settings with children including the NICU, summer camps, a home daycare, and large childcare centers. I opened Tiny Explorers in Fall of 2015, and became licensed through the State of Illinois in March of 2016. I am passionate about creating a warm and home-like environment that encourages active exploration and instills a life-long love of learning. I am also CPR certified. About our household/where we are located: Our home is located near the intersection of Sullivan and Mitchell Roads (on the border of North Aurora). My husband, James, and I live in our home, along with our room mate, Rob, and our medium sized and extremely friendly dog, McCoy. We are also expecting our 1st child in December, we are calling him or her Batman at the moment. About our daily routine: The children participate in free play activities throughout the day. The toys are regularly rotated so they are exploring new and challenging materials. In the morning, the children participate in a short group time where we read a book, sing a song, and explore the felt board. As a group, the children engage in a daily science, art, or mathematics activity that is geared towards their development and interests. We believe children learn through active, hands-on exploration, and plan activities that encourage curiosity! Everything is very hands-on and sometimes messy too. We spend quite a bit of time outdoors each day either going on a walk, playing at our local park, or investigating the toys on the deck. The children take a daily nap from 12:15-2:30/3:00. There is no screen time throughout the day. The important details: Breakfast (7:45), lunch (11:30), and afternoon snack (3:30) are provided with the cost of tuition. Healthy meals are prepared using fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads, and lean meats and milk. Children's diapers are checked/changed AT LEAST every 2 hours, and more frequently if needed. Detailed &quot;All About Me&quot; sheets are sent home on a daily basis so that parent's have a full understanding of their child's day. Parents are encouraged to call or text throughout the day to check in on their child, and pictures are frequently sent to parents so they can see just how much fun their child is having!

Woodland Adventures School is a In-Home Daycare that provides the best childcare for your little adventurers. Providing a natural space for children to run, explore, jump, and most importantly to play. I tell all the parents to think of their favorite childhood memory; most would say that it was a wonderful memory that took place outdoors! My favorite childhood memory is taking woodland hikes with my parents. We would go off the path every hike, and I remember feeling this overwhelming excitement that we're about to go on a new adventure today. I want to share that feeling with my little adventurers with every session. We have our &quot;Home Base&quot; in Aurora, 50 miles west of Chicago. We spend most of our days at Home Base, but we do take daily adventures! We have a wonderful studio for the children to create and play through appealing setup craft stations.
