< 1 mi

Kidz Day Care is located in North Chicago, IL and is within 10 minutes of most major businesses in the city (Great Lakes Naval Base, Abbott (Abbvie), Emco, Lovell VA, and Uline. My business has been established in the community for 26+ years. We provide PEACE OF MIND for working parents. The backyard has toddler and preschool friendly play sets (slides, swings, monkey bars). When the Munchkins enter our facility, they are perfectly safe within the &quot;friendly confines&quot; of our privacy fence (completely fenced-in front to back). My facility offers a loving and safe learning environment. The days are structured, but not rigid. Activities for the children vary according to age and include circle time (sing-a-long and discussion), dramatic play, fine/gross motor activities. We pride ourselves with active and quiet activities mingled with social skills with group activities. All equipment is age-appropriate for the development of the children. I generally wear child-friendly shirts imprinted with many cartoon characters (Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, etc.) for the children's fun and amusement. Board games, educational toys, arts and crafts, and reading materials are provided to foster additional development. Kidz Day Care is a participant of a federal funded food program that ensures nutritious meals and snacks. Rest assured that the children are fed on demand and this is a fast rule here, regardless of normal meal times. The day care fees are affordable and can be negotiated upon situation. YWCA/DHS (state subsidy), and DCFS payments are gladly accepted. I am state licensed and CPR certified. At Kidz Day Care, we strive for a rainbow (gender neutral, multicultural, anti-biased) environment. Infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children are welcome (4 wks-12 yrs). A loving, caring atmosphere is provided daily. We speak Spanish. We now have a very informative and upscale website. All are welcome to review and comment. We are always glad to welcome new friends. Again, and I cannot emphasize enough, we offer PEACE OF MIND to working parents...I am always available if there are concerns, or if my parents need to vent. We are always a phone call or text away. It's Day Care/WE CARE!!! I am a firm believer that good, GREAT beginnings never end. Call us and remember, IT'S ALWAYS FUN HERE.

I've had a licensed daycare home since 1997, located in Beach Park/Zion-serving areas from many local communities. Not only do I take pride in, and enjoy teaching children and watching them learn and grow. I have experience with ADHD, RSV, and special abilities. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with an acre of yard, fenced in for lots of outdoor play. We go out as much as possible to just be kids. We play ball, jump rope, slide, set up obstacle courses, and much more. When weather permits we eat outside on the picnic table, and do story time before naps. While doing everything from tummy time to homework, it is very important for children to be able to grow emotionally and socially. They need to interact with other children and adults for basic learning. While inside we do various things through play to learn. We build with blocks, work puzzles, read books, farms and many car and trucks . Just some examples of things that are motor skill appropriate for smaller children. Also even with this we are counting, naming colors while cleaning up. There is also coloring, and the educational items, board games and specific learning per age appropriate. I have a very safe and worry free environment ***References available upon request.*** Licensed by DCFS, and a part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Wild Grace Nursery School

Wild Grace provides a boutique home-based childcare setting where every child is treated with respect, compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, and patience. Our philosophy and curriculum are a combination of various child development approaches focused on the WHOLE child.The Wild Grace approach will meet children where they are. This is based on their development, social and emotional well being and any neuro-divergent needs. Wild Grace Nursery School was founded by two moms with extensive child care and child welfare experience. Through the years they both recognize that there is no single approach that works for every child across the board. Especially when considering neuro-divergent children and children with various development needs or trauma histories. The inspiration behind the philosophy of Wild Grace is the whole child, your child; every bit of that tiny human: their brain development, physical development, social and emotional development, and their awareness of the world around them. Taking all of these factors into consideration we have pulled from popular and less recognized development and child rearing approaches. We have taken various aspects of these strategies to develop a program that is completely unique. We are focusing on the CDC developmental milestones and encouraging children in our care to reach these through experiential learning. Wild Grace approaches childcare differently because we know it is much more than ensuring safety. The first three years of a child's life they experience major growth spurts, reach developmental milestones and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Here at Wild Grace we want to be a part of it all. We hope that as you enter Wild Grace you are embraced by the comfort of the home based environment. Our families will be met with invitations to play in an open setting nestled in the heart of the North shore. Wild Grace strives to develop ongoing community partnerships where the children in our program experience the joy of civic engagement and experiential learning. With access to the local ravines and lakefront, our staff are eager to support the children in playing and engaging with nature in a sustainable and respectful manner. Our setting and program are designed to allow each child the opportunity to grow and flourish in a home setting.

Kelsey R. says "I cannot say enough good things about Wild Grace! Sending my child to daycare for the first time was nerve-wracking, but having the wonderful team at...

My daycare facility is located in Beach Park - serving Gurnee, Waukegan, and Zion as well as surrounding areas. My establishment has been operating since March of 1988. I have experience in a variety of health issues from allergies, ADHD, and dyslexia to asthma. Being loving and showing affection is necessary for a child's self esteem. It's a very rewarding experience to be able to teach a child and watch them grow and develop their own personalities. I provide hands-on educational curriculum to students, 4 weeks to 12 years, as well as opportunities to grow socially and emotionally. I know how important development is. A child needs to interact with other children and adults to learn basic skills. Small motor skills are important for babies and children such as playing, reading, etc. Role playing is vital for growth in development. Inside, they will have access to fun and educational toys, board games, free time, reading material and many arts and crafts materials. Outside, they will have access to a full fenced in backyard which includes swings, a slide. As a Childcare Educator, I prepare my pre-schoolers for kindergarten teaching them the requirements to be ready for Kindergarten. Examples are letters, numbers, shapes. They are also taught social and learning skills and are encouraged to participate and engage in activities as well as independent play. I provide a safe, loving, and worry-free environment. I offer transportation to school age children to Beach Park Schools - District 3, Zion Schools - District 6, Waukegan Schools (District 60) depending on locations and start times, Schools District 50 depending on distance and start times. We celebrate birthdays and have parties for the holidays as well. We also play games in which all children are encouraged to participate. .

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.

Children five months or five years of age have already embarked on a journey from which they are learning great lessons, those that are traditionally academic and those that will shape their character. At Alta Vista We help our students to learn and understand the world, so that one day they'll know how to make it a better place for themselves and others. We emphasize an academic curriculum that focuses on how we learn and not what we learn to develop a lifelong love for learning and the skills to do so. We foster independence, self-direction, and responsibility to empower them to follow the life of their own choosing. We model collaboration, cooperation and helpfulness to inspire them to live a life of service and peace. Following authentic Montessori practices, our classes are mixed-aged, which is the ideal setting for peer teaching, role modeling, honing leadership, and building a strong sense of community. Our experienced teachers engage the children in specially prepared classrooms using a stimulating curriculum at each level. Everything in the classroom is designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children. There is no limit to what children can learn, and they are able to advance through the curriculum as quickly as they are ready, without being limited by the progress of their peers. Our Montessori materials have been researched and scientifically developed as well as tested in classrooms for over 100 years all over the world. Our teachers take great care in preparing the environment; materials are arranged sequentially, children have comfortable work space, and there is freedom of physical movement. We offer an accredited Montessori School as well as daycare for ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Part-time and full-time schedules available. We invite you to visit our beautiful school!
