Qualifications: I am a professional early childhood educator with 3 years of experience working with children from ages 0-6 years of age in a center-based setting. I am an approved family care provider and licensed from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) with a capacity of 8 children. I am also pursuing an Early Childhood Education degree from College of Lake County. To date, I have completed 38 credit hours of Early Childhood Education. Philosophy: My name is Anna and I am a proud Champions teacher! I believe that children are precious and a blessing and that makes me feel that my work is meaningful. To me, great teaching looks like creating a sense of community, and so I'm doing my best when children are enthusiastic about learning and socializing with their peers and their teacher. I know that providing children with lots of love and care is the best way to help them learn, prosper, and respect each other and so every day I work very hard to instill wholesome values and positive experiences in children's lives. My approach to teaching is respecting children because experience has taught me that respect is important when working with children. I understand that children will make mistakes, so I always make to encourage them to keep trying. In my classroom, I create an environment that is entrusting and respectful, because I want children to succeed. I take pride in being warm, loving, and having a nurturing personality to make it easier for children to approach me with any curiosities they may have. I believe that relationships are paramount, and I work hard to establish long-lasting relationships. When it comes to curriculum, I think that it should be engaging and fun, and so I make sure that kids in my program are excited about learning. I love teaching because I find it personally fulfilling. Some days are harder than others, and when things get challenging, and in those moments, I am motivated by the smiles of the children. When all is said and done, to me, teaching is everything, and that leaves me feeling accomplished and joyous.

Hi! I am the mother of a 13-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl. I have stayed home with my children since my son was born. Over the winter, I took a part-time position as an in-home child care assistant. I have always loved working with younger children and really enjoyed my time at this business. After working at an in-home child care business I decided that I would like to care for one or two children at my home. My goal is to provide a safe, caring and nurturing place for your child. I want to be able to give a child the same care that I would want for my own. I believe that children thrive from love, structure and routine and will work with parents to keep their child on the schedule that works for them. As a mother and child care assistant, I enjoyed reading to the children and doing crafts and learning activities. As for babies, I will make sure that all of their needs are met, that they are mentally stimulated and have plenty of &quot;play time&quot;. I would be happy to discuss other services with you as in errand running and taking your child to any classes that you would like them to take. I am open minded and would like to help make your life less stressful. Thank you for considering me and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

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 &amp; 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 Spring Grove, IL

Drop-in daycare near you in Spring Grove, 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. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

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 Spring Grove, 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 Spring Grove, 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. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Spring Grove, IL, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
