I have a Bachelor's in Music. My Master's is in Early Childhood Education with Special Ed approval. Until budget cuts, I taught at an early learning center in West Chicago District #33. I have worked at day care centers and had a licensed family childcare for 10 years. I have re-licensed my home for daycare. Being a mother has taught many life experiences that I use in the daycare. I enjoy being part of a child's learning and development. My activities and program are integrated with music, art, literacy, problem-solving, and outside activities. Pre-readiness skills are incorporated into all activities and I believe each child be given opportunities to take risks. This is when I observe children take steps in their development. There will be plenty of opportunities to practice getting along with others, sharing, cooperating and having empathy for others. Positive guidance, modeling, nurturing, interaction toward others, and an appropriate physical environment are strategies that help children grow. If you are looking for a provider who understands how children learn and is welcome to being a partner with you in your child's early years, please contact me. 09/24/2021: I am currently full so am not accepting any new referrals. Thank you to all who have called and shown an interest in Play to Learn Family Child Care.

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.

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.

I am 52 years old and have been doing licensed Group Day Care since 1992 with over 15 years of licensed day care experience. In the process I had seven children of my own, so needless to say my experience and love for children is vast. Most of my children are quite grown now. I am looking to do daycare out of your home. All children in my care are treated equally yet understanding that each child is different. Just like with your own children you love them all equally, but you love them differently because every child is their own person with different personal needs and personalities. My efforts are on loving the children while teaching them manners, being well behaved and respectful. I have strong patience and psychological understanding of a child's mind and where they should be at developmentally, emotionally and socially. Through education and over 25 years of experience raising children, I am well in tune to each child's needs. I provide a loving safe environment where the children can grow up feeling confident and secure, while also preparing them for school through learning in a fun manner and at each child's own pace. Success with raising children is with lots of love, structure and boundaries, yet also to allow them to express themselves in their own way and grow in their own time. Remember.... each child is their own person and in my care they will be raised as such and loved just as much if they were my own. I am exceptionally dependable and gracious for the gift of loving and raising children that was given to me. You will not be disappointed.

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.

I am first aid and CPR certified and offer a non-smoking home. I believe that children learn through play and I set up experiences for them to explore. I will care for your child as if they were my own and most of all we will have fun!

I am a mom of two kids (S., 3 years; A., 7 months) and a dog (Kona, an old, patient, Shiba Inu who has been around young children all his life) looking to care for one or two other children in my home along with my own kids. We love science (especially gardening, but also baking soda/vinegar &quot;volcanoes,&quot; cornstarch/water gloop, and other fun things like that). We also love Jesus and have a lot of Christian children's books, and I teach my children about the world from that perspective. Fenced in yard. Also, I will report every penny you pay me on my taxes, which means you can too.
