Home Sweet Home Child Care is a Licensed Day Care Home that takes pride in providing a home away from home for your child while you're away. We promote a happy, healthy, and loving environment filled with manners and respect so the children can thrive, grow, and learn. My goal is to prepare the kids for Kindergarten which is accomplished through a Pre-School program, computer activities (ABC Mouse), a strong emphasis on reading, story time and helping children to learn to enjoy books. Crafts, baking, interactive science projects, circle time (Weather, Calender, Critical Thinking) outdoor play, and plenty of fun hands-on activities are all an integral part of the program. Dress up, singing and dancing, music, puppet shows and gross motor skills time is all part of the fun that the kids enjoy while learning. In the spring we plant a vegetable garden and harvest the veggies in the summer. Outdoor fun is part of the program if weather permits. Manners and respect are always encouraged. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack are meals served. Infant schedules are followed, and babies are cared for on demand with gentle hands and a loving heart. Singing, rocking, swaddling and holding are in abundance. Lights, sounds and music are all part of the stimulation for babies, as well as, exercises that promote eye hand co-ordination. Play time with boppies and tummy time are all on the daily schedule. Swings, bassinets, high chairs, gliders, infant seats are all the newest of equipment available and is provided at my home. CPR and First Aid certified. Licensed and Background Checked. References available upon request. Please call to schedule an interview. I look forward to hearing from you. Mary

We operate a small family home day care and are different than a Day Care Center because the number of children that are enrolled is limited. By staying small, we are able to provide the quality care and nurturing atmosphere that your child deserves, which makes our home day care a premium service. I & G Home Family Day Care is not a preschool, but we do offer a theme based preschool program. Children participate in a full range of activities such as free play, outside play, stories, dramatic play, creative arts, crafts, music, and much more. As a family child care provider, our goal is to provide a safe and happy learning environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace. We offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. As your partner in caring for your child, our interaction with you, the parent, is as important as my interaction with your child. We encourage parent involvement in the child care setting. We look forward to welcoming your child into our daycare!

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Gurnee, IL

Drop-in daycare near you in Gurnee, IL can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Gurnee, IL, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Gurnee, IL may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.
