< 1 mi

I am a stay-at-home mom for my lovable and sociable 5 year old daughter. I have full openings now. Until recently, I babysat a 4-year-old girl and her 3-year-old brother since they were both 8 weeks old, full-time. Before that, I was a nanny for my friend's daughter during her kindergarten year. I love working with children, and have been involved in childcare from a young age. I am patient, loving, and attentive. I work one-on-one with little ones for their milestones and preschool activities, or board games and homework for older kids. I have a membership with ABC Mouse, and I own a membership at Brookfield Zoo and we go often in good weather. Other activities include daily story time, play doh, finger painting, coloring, and of course play time. My program is focused on infants and toddlers, as I have a lot of experience with this age group, and I am amazed at what they learn from each other and their socializing. We live 1 block from a great park and we are walking distance to the local school. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have ECE credential. My hours are flexible and I have limited openings. Please contact me if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

Bucktown Academy is a nature-based program for children ages two through five. We provide a high-quality early childhood educational experience where children are prepared academically and socially for kindergarten. At Bucktown Academy, we believe that children learn through play within a structured, child-centered environment; our dedication to this approach is clearly demonstrated in our loving and organized classroom where children develop a passion for learning. Bucktown Academy strives to create a safe and inclusive environment for all children and families. At our school we celebrate our differences, including in race, culture, ethnicity, gender expression and family structure. We believe in empowering children to embrace their identities, and our curriculum reflects this value. We offer both half-day and full-day programming. Our Sprouts half-day program (ages 2-3) is from 9:30am-11:30am. This gives kids the opportunity to experience a half-day similar to a preschool day. If you would like a longer day we do offer before care and lunch buddies. We also offer full-day which is from 7:30am-5:30pm. The three-day program is M/W/F and the two-day program is T/TH. I am sorry but we cannot accommodate alternative schedules.

Thank you for taking time to visit our profile! We are not babysitters, but child care professionals and educators. At Creative Development Child Care we partner with parents to promote the development of each child. We provide a preschool learning environment in a safe, loving and nurturing home. Our goal is for each child to be well prepared for the transition to kindergarten. Because each child is different, we observe and based on individual interest, develop methods to teach each child. We use age-appropriate curriculum and provide lots of opportunity for &quot;creative learning.&quot; There are educational, yet fun, field trips. Children have outside play (weather permitting) and nutritional meals (based on federal quality standards). The benefits of having small group care are: 1. The ability to provide individualized attention. 2. Younger children are subliminally exposed to the same materials as the older children (i.e. alphabets, phonics, colors, and numbers). 3. Capability to work with families in the development of their children. &quot;A hundred years from now the world may be better... because I was important in a child's life.&quot;

Developmental (play-based)

Preschool
Since its inception, innovation has been at the core of Chicago Commons approach to early childhood education. We have pioneered child centered curricula within communities of highest need, and engaged parents and families in supporting and championing their children's education. Chicago Commons opened one of the first kindergartens in Chicago more than 120 years ago using the Pestalozzi/Froebel method, a child centered philosophy of education. Pestalozzi and Froebel introduced the concept of kindergarten early in the 1800s, and created curricula based on the idea that children have unique needs and capabilities that are best addressed through free work and games. Twenty-five years ago, Chicago Commons adopted the Reggio Emilia approach to educating children, and operates award-winning preschools on Chicago's south and west sides. Commons child development centers were some of the first Reggio schools in the U.S., and one of the few Head Start programs in Illinois to use the approach. At Nia Family Center we are focused on making sure that our children are kindergarten ready by offering a comprehensive early education program. This is not a day care center but a program the focuses on building literacy, math, science, art and thinking skills. We have 3 teachers in each classroom and one of those is bilingual so children are getting exposed to Spanish. Through our Family Hub, we offer comprehensive services to parents and the entire family. This includes: o Nutrition classes o Cooking classes o ESL classes o Computer classes o Financial and employment coaching Come and take a tour and talk to our teachers.

Near The Pier Child Development Center is dedicated to the development of young minds. Servicing children between the ages of 6 weeks and 12 years old, our principle goal is to produce highly esteemed and educated students who grow into life-long learners. By providing a liberal academic program with essential extra-curricular activities for educational enhancement, the children explore and discover freely. A safe, sanitized, environment and an array of age-appropriate materials, presented with developmentally appropriate practices, are the frame-work which ensures a child’s proper growth and development. Since pre-school is a child’s first formal impression of education, it is our aim to make that impression a positive one that propels students to higher educational plateaus.
