Nicole's In-home Child Care's Photo

Nicole's In-home Child Care

4410 Whitehall Ln Algonquin, IL

9 mi

Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I am a certified educator and have been working as an elementary school social worker for the past 5 years. I am looking to take a break from my career so I can stay at home with my 8 month old daughter. My daughter and I both love children of all ages and would love the opportunity to care after 1-2 additional children within our home. In addition to having a background in education, I am really passionate about living a healthy lifestyle. My family loves to eat organically and spend time exploring the world outdoors. Your child will be in great hands and is sure to enjoy their time in our home. I have one daughter, five nephews and many former students that would confirm this to be true :)

Little Miracles & Milestones Child Care

603 Kensington Dr. McHenry, IL

7 mi

I am a loving, caring Mom of two who believes that children are one of the most fascinating, important aspects of our lives. I have experience with both typical and special needs children as well. My home is a fun, loving, and caring place to be. My goal is to provide a warm, loving environment that allows for a lot of one on one time with your child, with no more than 3 children present at one time, specializing in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I am very excited to be using curriculum from 1-2-3 Curriculum that will allow me to begin teaching concepts that will help them grow socially, cognitively, and emotionally. There is even curriculum for infants! We will be covering a different theme that lasts for 1 or 2 weeks generally and it includes, for infants: story time, sign language, small muscle movement, senses, singing, and dramatic play to name a few. For toddler: it includes books, art, numbers, dramatic play, and much more as well. For pre-K, it includes circle time, reading, music, games, writing, letter, number and color recognition, to name a few areas. Of course, there will lots of time for learning through play, and just plain old having fun! I have a variety of toys and learning opportunities available, as well as a fenced in yard. Little Miracles and Milestones is all about your child enjoying themselves in a safe, fun environment. After we have been together for a couple of weeks, we will then try to keep things as consistent as possible so that your child knows what to expect and when. Meals, snacks, and naptimes will be as consistent as possible, working with your childs schedule so that they know what to expect, which fosters trust on the childs' part. You are always welcome to visit at any time. I just ask that you knock on the door instead of ringing the bell so that we don't startle any sleeping children. Please feel free to call or text me at any time, as well. If I don't answer, I will call back or text as soon as possible. As parents, you are your child's first and best teachers. You know your child better than anyone else. I welcome your expertise in calming, favorite items, and anything else that will make your child feel comfortable here. You will also receive a daily sheet, showing what we did today, including naps, feedings, food, and fun! Susan

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder

2469 Cascade Court Wauconda, IL

3 mi

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder is a new in home day care center. In my home your child will receive exceptional care while having fun and learning! A day in my center includes play time, age appropriate crafts and lessons, healthy meals, naps, circle time, stories, silly song/dance time. I have over 10 years experience with working with children of all ages, 2 years experience in working in a preschool environment, and 2 years working for a company who manufactures and distributes educational tools and toys for children of all ages. I am also a mom, which is my favorite experience! I know and understand the frustrations in finding a good day care while you're away at work, I have been there as well as many close friends. This is why I decided to leave work, open my own certified day care center (with very affordable rates) where parents are confident their child is in great hands! I build lessons and goal sheets based on what YOUR needs are for your child(ren) and I work closely with you the parents on obtaining those goals (be it weaning, potty training, behavioral or just help learning basic age appropriate goals). I work on gross on fine motor skills in infants as well as preschoolers. In my home you can expect a small setting with few children. I do this so I can spend quality time with each child. In some cases less really is more! I feel that the more children you have in a center, the less you can guarantee safety, education and development! I am available Monday-Friday from 6am to 6pm, full-time as well as part time, and before and after school care. Please contact me to set up an in home meeting! Thank you, Kim

Bright Kidz Daycare

7610 Burr Oak Drive McHenry, IL

In-Home daycare
Children come to our group daycare home with a love and trust that is normally shared only with the parent. That love and trust must be fostered and protected in any setting that becomes a substitute for the home. Our purpose at Bright Kidz Daycare is to do just that. We specialize in full-time childcare. We require a minimum amount of days that the children are in our care. Visitors to our daycare are usually surprised by the amount of space that we provide our children and also the fact that the kids do not stay in "one" room all day. The children have access to 5 separate areas spread out among three floors of a combined 4500 square feet. This does not include the outdoor play spaces, which are set on 6 acres. We provide the warmth and personal one-on-one attention that your child needs and thrives from. We have a structured, play-based program. We teach the children the importance of respect for themselves and others. Children learn from playing with their peers as well as table time for writing, handouts and coloring. We provide our children with the tools and environment they need to be challenged and successful. Bright Kidz has the highest safety policy with a security system for Fire and Police. The house has a sprinkler system as well as hard-wired smoke alarms, battery-operated back-up smoke alarms, back-up caregiver assistants, private napping rooms, well-balanced, nutritious meals, hundreds of books, hundreds of age appropriate toys, large indoor and outdoor play spaces, several large outdoor jungle gyms, cozy reading nooks, and various learning and game stations.
