Prince & Princess Child Care

230 Possum Pass Ct Sherman, IL

< 1 mi

Philosophy-Prince &amp; Princess Child Care Home and Preschool is designed to meet each the different needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and older children. Each day the emotional, spiritual, cognitive, language, social, physical and creative needs are met with the understanding that each one is a unique individual. I LOVE babies, children and their developmental stages. I enjoy caring, teaching, loving and growing with them. We are a Christian home. In addition to our academic curriculum, children learn the basic Biblical principals of kindness, compassion, truthfulness, forgiveness and love. Instead of a formal classroom-we provide lots of Tender Loving Care mixed with learning. I specialize in getting to know your child and meeting their individual needs. Opportunities abound for nurturing, exploring, learning concepts to problem solve, create, social emotional skills with many hands-on experiences. Program-Provided is a combination of a loving family home mixed with infant, toddler and pre-school activities as age appropriate. Infants enjoy our daily routine and activities while being nurtured, loved and cared for. They are the youngest members of our &quot;school family&quot; and enjoy the extra TLC from all. Infants are included and cared for as well as those of the toddlers and preschool age. Each day is designed for the children to come and learn and grow with us until they go to Kindergarten. There is plenty of free play along with our daily lessons and activities. Unless a child is diagnosed with special needs and needs to be in a specific school setting, children attend preschool here. This home welcomes children up to age 12 who need care when their school is closed and in the summer. We offer special activities for a school age child as well. Curriculum-Our curriculum is an outstanding combination of Creative Curriculum for Family Child Care and Preschool, activities from Mother Goose Times, Christian based lessons and Weekly Reader. Ages 3-5 are taught within and exceed the guidelines of the Illinois Early Learning Standards. This sets the appropriate stage for kindergarten readiness. Discipline-Each child from infancy on is taught Conscious Discipline-a social emotional intelligence program. The skills are Composure, Assertiveness, Positive Intent, Encouragement, Empathy, Choices and Consequences. Infants are held and taught breathing calming techniques.

Early Enrichment Home Daycare

10 mi

3104 St Helens Ct Springfield, IL

Early Enrichment Home Daycare offers care for children aged four weeks to five years. The daycare setting is located on the main floor of the house, with two specialized rooms designated to the daycare. The infant room has plenty of floor space, an array of developmentally appropriate toys, and a warm and colorful setting. The second room is a free play space for children aged 3 yrs+ with a host of fun activities, toys, and games. The large garden provides a great space for warm weather play, including a climbing frame with a slide! In the colder months there will be physical activities held in the living room's empty space to help burn that extra energy through song and dance, child yoga, and more. The daycare is run as a kindergarten readiness program, with a daily schedule filled with activities ranging from arts and crafts, reading time, circle time, and academic rotation circles. No child is left out of these activities as there is something in every time slot for every age and developmental level. The goal of EE-HD is to ensure that every child is physically, academically, socially, and emotionally equipped to succeed in kindergarten when they leave our care. To this end we will only accept a total of six children at any given time, and an assistant will be hired once we reach four children. License number is pending. A little about me: I have an associates degree in early childhood education and development and have almost seven years of experience working as a nanny and later as an assistant teacher in a private preschool. Whilst working on my BA degree in education I realized my passion lay with educating at the pre-k level and chose to put my BA on hold whilst I open my own pre-k/daycare. I have no children of my own at this time, just a desire and passion for the field. Please contact me to arrange a visit and to view an application packet.
