St. Thomas Little Saints is a faith based, Catholic preschool that not only nurtures your child's social and academic growth, but also introduces our Catholic faith through daily prayer and teachings. Children who begin education with faith based learning during the formative years have a stronger understanding of Christianity. While we are a Catholic based preschool, we welcome children and families of all religious and non-religious backgrounds to learn and grow with us. Many of our preschool students transition into our highly acclaimed St. Thomas Catholic School for Kindergarten-8th grade education. Our preschool curriculum is directly aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards by following Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP). St. Thomas is Lighting the Way for our children's future by giving them the opportunity to attend a Catholic preschool. Little Saints Preschool is an extension of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School. Saint Thomas the Apostle School opened in 1929 and through the dreams of many people, Little Saints Preschool was established in 2008. The goal of our preschool is to provide children with the opportunity to participate in activities which will develop them spiritually, socially, emotionally, and intellectually into self-assured children of God. When the preschool opened in 2008, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton generously offered to house our preschool program. We started then with 2 classes for three and four year old children. Since then, Little Saints Preschool has grown in the number of families wanting a faith filled early education for their children. With the opening of Little Saints Preschool, we will be able to continue the tradition of faith and education that St. Thomas School has aspired to since 1929.

My name is Terri and I have a daycare in Crystal Lake out of my home. I was a live-in nanny in Chicago and cared for a 5, 8, and 14-year-old boys. Later, I worked at a pediatricians office for 3 years until this fall when I put my 5-year-old into half-day kindergarten. I have two beautiful baby boys who are 11 years old and a 6 year-old who is a ball of fire. We just welcomed our newst addition to our family a baby girl. I hope to be able to make other children feel like a part of our family. I know as a working mom how hard it is to leave your child with someone else and not worry. I want you and your kids to love going to the babysitter and for moms to be able to go to work with one less worry on their mind. I have lots of bouncers, toys, highchairs, and pack-n-plays. We do lots of artwork, dancing and singing. We spend lots of time outdoors in the spring and summer weather permitting. I provide all meals and snacks unless your child is on formula or baby food, or a special diet. I charge $50 per day and $85 per day for two children. Referrals upon request and you can call are anytime to meet me and my family. I hope to hear from you soon.
