Creme de la Creme

2401 Patriot Blvd Glenview, IL

< 1 mi

The foundation of Creme de la Creme is the environment we create within our physical buildings, because it is the design of our building that allows the curriculum and our teachers to maximize your child's potential. As you search for the finest in early education for your child, you'll discover that it is virtually impossible for a child to develop to their full potential in a traditional single-room preschool program. Here's just a sample of what you'll find in a Creme center: The typical Creme learning center is a 21,000 sq. ft. facility educationally-engineered to enhance young minds. Our building, curriculum, teachers and educational resources work together in a highly coordinated endeavor that makes the most of the window of opportunity in brain development between infancy and age five. The architecture and floor plan of each Creme building -- particularly our specialized enrichment class rooms for music, art, computer skills, creative movement, and second language -- allow our teachers to deliver the benefits of a rotation-based, team-taught curriculum. This unique approach to early childhood education features stimulating half-hour class rotations that capitalize on how children learn best. The Creme programs engage your child across intellectual, emotional, physical and social levels of learning and development -- this kind of learning is not possible in the traditional single-room approach. Creme de la Creme balances learning, fun and rest with inside and outside physical activities to keep children's interest and excitement for knowledge at a high level.

Care Member says "There is not a childcare facility in the greater Chicago area better than Creme de la Creme. From the moment I stepped foot in the door the director...

I am a home base business. I have been in business for twelve years and have enjoyed each and every year. I service children from birth to four years old. I do have two older children that are eight years old, that is because I have their younger siblings. I have my daughter working with me who is also a license provider. We care not only about each child, their family is just as important to us. We always treat each family as family, that why I have had success in our business. We respect and are concern about how each of our families are doing. I believe that's why we have had many return clients over the years and many referrals. I have a way with children, I treat them as individuals. I let them express themselves, and I listen to them. Maybe that is why parents and children call me &quot;Mama Jennie&quot;.

At J.E.L.A our mission is to uncover the gifts and talents of students, so that they can reach their fullest potential. Our program consists of both teacher initiated and child initiated activities where the role of the teacher is to create learning experiences for children via direct instruction and as they move through various learning centers. We allow each child’s natural curiosity to direct his or her learning experience. At the same time, we are aware of the Illinois Early Learning Standards and do our best to “intentionally” meet these standards. We provide students with an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, invites the sharing of ideas, and incorporates the family, culture and beliefs of each student.

Myrna M. says "Great spot for affordable care! Very convenient and offers all day care. They offer both English and Spanish immersion which is great. "
