Jill's Daycare

1926 Harvest Lane Glendale Heights, IL

< 1 mi

I am a loving mom and ex-teacher who chose to leave the corporate world to offer quality and affordable daycare to other families. I am DCFS licensed as a group daycare home and have been in business for 16 years. I currently have full-time or part-time openings and can accommodate newborns - school aged children. We offer transportation to and from our local grade schools (district 15 or district 16) and work in conjunction with the Bloomingdale Park District for an excellent Pre-K experience. We stay current on our CPR & 1st Aide along with continuing our education each year in Early Childhood. Our program offers not only individual play time but art and crafts, and educational activities. We pride ourselves on our children entering into Kindergarten prepared socially, academically, and emotionally. We have very little family turnover and most of our openings are due to children growing up and entering Kindergarten. Take advantage of this rare daycare opening and contact us at your convenience.

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

Our focus is to promote development in child's physical, social-emotional, language and cognitive areas. Children explore their world through play, and hence giving them enough time to play through careful planning help them have positive learning experience. Purposeful and productive play encourages children to express themselves freely, communicate with others and follow their natural instincts of discovery.

If you are looking for a responsible, flexible, loving and fun child care provider, look no further. I love to spend time with the kids in my backyard, take walks in the neighborhood, and take trips to nature centers and the zoo. I am active and engaged with the children under my care, whether it is playing games, reading, making arts and crafts or singing (off-key) and dancing. Additionally, I am available for full-time or part-time child care, and do not require any time commitment. I can usually provide last minute drop-in or back-up care. I have been continuously certified in CPR and first aid for over 10 years. Although I have experience with children of all ages, I am not equipped to care for older children in my home. I typically watch one infant/toddler and one or two preschool aged children, but my clientele changes every few years as kids go off to preschool. Please note that I currently have only 1 opening and that preference will be given to a full-time infant. FAQ: Extra diapers, wipes, medications, and extra clothing may be stored at my home. Drop-ins are accepted on a case by case basis. Meals and snacks can be provided for a small fee. Naps and mealtimes vary based on current clientele. Generally I can work with the schedule you are using at home to provide consistency. I do not charge for cancellations. I do provide care for sick children on a case by case basis. Parents are expected to bring a change of clothes and appropriate outerwear for children. Bug spray and sunscreen will be used as necessary- parents may supply their own if they prefer.
