Home Sweet Home Child Care is a Licensed Day Care Home that takes pride in providing a home away from home for your child while you're away. 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. CPR and First Aid certified. Licensed and Background Checked. References available upon request. Please call to schedule an interview. I look forward to hearing from you. Mary

I'm offering summer daycare at my home in Long Grove, IL. I am a sophomore pre-med student at Northwestern University majoring in Neuroscience. I have decided to spend this summer hosting a children's day camp. I am certified in basic life support (BLS), first aid, asthma and inhaler protocol, as well as Epi-Pen protocol. I am also Red Cross certified in babysitting. My mother will be working from home in case of situations in need of an older adult. Days with more than 5 children will include my brother who is a senior at Stevenson High School and also a junior baseball coach with the Lake County Stars. Camp is limited to 10 children.Every day has the same structure but with different activities; we will swim, learn, do science experiments, cook, do crafts, and read! An afternoon snack will be provided. Camp is held Mon - Fri, rain or shine, 9am - 4pm. A waiver and medical information form will be sent for completion before camp start date. The price is $350/week per child. Before and after care available, on an as-needed basis, at $20/hour/child. Payment can be made in cash or check and is due on Mondays. Your child must be able to use the bathroom and change in and out of their bathing suit independently. It is preferable if your child knows how to swim; however, if your child cannot swim, you will need to provide a life vest and/or floaties. There are six cats and one dog in the home. Questions? Contact me at (847) 867- 4949 or waldron.sky@gmail.com. My Home & Camp Location: 4126 Three Lakes Dr., Long Grove, IL 60047. Parents will check-in children with their signature when dropped off. Adults designated for pick-up must show a driver's license and sign check-out form. Temperatures will be taken daily upon arrival with an ear thermometer. Children with a temperature of 100.4 or above may not stay for camp. Children will be monitored to ensure they wash hands throughout the day. My philosophy is that it's not realistic for children to wear face coverings and stay 6 feet apart throughout the day. They will not be allowed to share food or drinks and will be discouraged from overt physical contact. Camp is offered starting June 8th and will be offered every week until the end of July.

I offer safe, loving and educational care, in a very loving home environment! In the past 5 years I've watched 3 boys till it was time for them to go off to school. All from the same wonderful family. Now, the twins I watch are going to pre-K and I'm ready to begin a new chapter! I have 2 girls myself in elementary school and a golden retriever named Crash, who also LOVES children! I do not charge for days I would have your child but for some reason don't. You may bring your own food or I could supply what you prefer. Please contact for hours, days and daily rate. Thanks, Valerie
