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

My daycare facility is located in Beach Park - serving Gurnee, Waukegan, and Zion as well as surrounding areas. My establishment has been operating since March of 1988. I have experience in a variety of health issues from allergies, ADHD, and dyslexia to asthma. Being loving and showing affection is necessary for a child's self esteem. It's a very rewarding experience to be able to teach a child and watch them grow and develop their own personalities. I provide hands-on educational curriculum to students, 4 weeks to 12 years, as well as opportunities to grow socially and emotionally. I know how important development is. A child needs to interact with other children and adults to learn basic skills. Small motor skills are important for babies and children such as playing, reading, etc. Role playing is vital for growth in development. Inside, they will have access to fun and educational toys, board games, free time, reading material and many arts and crafts materials. Outside, they will have access to a full fenced in backyard which includes swings, a slide. As a Childcare Educator, I prepare my pre-schoolers for kindergarten teaching them the requirements to be ready for Kindergarten. Examples are letters, numbers, shapes. They are also taught social and learning skills and are encouraged to participate and engage in activities as well as independent play. I provide a safe, loving, and worry-free environment. I offer transportation to school age children to Beach Park Schools - District 3, Zion Schools - District 6, Waukegan Schools (District 60) depending on locations and start times, Schools District 50 depending on distance and start times. We celebrate birthdays and have parties for the holidays as well. We also play games in which all children are encouraged to participate. .
