My name is Christine. I am a mom of six children and I home schooled all of them. I am a licensed daycare located in Elgin, west of Randall Rd. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I also teach a full preschool curriculum during school year, piano, and have circle time with the little ones singing and playing little instruments. We do many crafts and read lots of books! We love playing games and spending a lot of time outside playing. I work to help children build self-confidence and self-esteem as a result of positive daily experiences. I want children to feel safe and loved and to be in a family oriented environment in which children can express their creativity, develop social skills, grow intellectually, and build trusting relationships. I have a beautiful big fenced in backyard and I am walking distance to a lovely park. I love children and I love watching them grow and learn. I have many years of experience with infants and multiples.
