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 have had the privilege of caring for and working with children in my home for 19 years. I have cared for a number of children varying in age from infancy into high school. I have gained knowledge in a few disorders over the years. I have been closely involved, working weekly with occupational, physical, and speech therapist.Each child was different in his/her own way, and those individual differences were key factors in my involvement with their development. I have plenty of experience and great references. My experience began with my children. Ages 24, 22, and my baby is 16!! Thank you!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Grayslake, IL

You can also check your options in Grayslake, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Grayslake, IL, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.

Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Grayslake, IL.
