I am an experienced daycare provider, with a medical field background. Certified in adult and child CPR as well as First Aid, and licensed by DCFS. I worked 11 years in a residential facility for developmentally disabled children and adults. During the last two years I headed the literacy program teaching reading, writing, math, and computer skills. My home daycare is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The entire lower level of my home is dedicated to my daycare with a separate side entrance. The daycare is set up as a safe environment for your child, with childproof cabinets and doors. We have periodic fire drills as well as a fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide alarms located throughout the house. I have no pets and my home is smoke free. Through a caring, nurturing environment, I provide the building blocks for your child's development, education and socialization skills. With daily preschool activities for toddlers and preschoolers, I incorporate structure into play and learning. I include Spanish as well as computer time. Learning through play and exploration is equally important and is a major component of the daily routine. Weather permitting, your child will be able to enjoy play time in a safe, enclosed back yard. Healthy nutritious meals and nap time are scheduled but the daily routine is flexible to accommodate each child's stage of development. My daycare is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I currently have two full-time openings available for children 15 months and over. References available.

The vision of KC’s Academy of Early Childhood Education Talented and Gifted Private School is to be renowned for its progressive curriculum and innovative instructional practices. This vision is centered on creating an environment dedicated to empowering all students to achieve individual excellence. Our teaching practices are both reflective and responsive to the needs of our students.

This excitement will be fostered by: Safe, Clean School environment, State of the Art Teaching Resources, Advanced Technology, Community Partnerships, and Financial Stability. KC’s Academy has two separate infant rooms, each designed specifically for your infant’s development. All of our staff members are trained in the field of infant care, are CPR and First Aid certified, and are well-versed in policies specific to KC’s Academy including taking anecdotal notes on your child’s progress, sanitation of all mouthed toys and communicating with parents daily. C’s Academy knows that toddlerhood is an incredibly important time in your child’s development (and an incredibly fun and challenging one!). It’s a time when language, social, cognitive, and physical skills are growing exponentially. Toddlers are constantly learning and they use all of their senses to explore the world around them. Our teachers help encourage their curiosity by providing a safe, loving and active learning environment. At KC’s Academy we believe in focusing on developmental stages rather than chronological age. At this stage of development preschoolers are beginning to extend their world, making new friends, and trusting new caregivers. They become even more aware of the world around them and delight in interacting and experimenting with their surroundings. They gain independence and self-control. They express themselves and their new ideas using new words. Their vivid and creative imaginations are taking flight and they are bursting with excitement at all the possibilities! And so are we!

Reservations aren't required for regular drop off play but are recommended for infants and Fri/Sat night. We offer flexible on-demand scheduling and affordable rates. Our staff is CPR/First Aid certified, fingerprinted and background checked. Our center has video surveillance. We have several bi-lingual staffers for Spanish and Arabic.
