Wild Grace provides a boutique home-based childcare setting where every child is treated with respect, compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, and patience. Our philosophy and curriculum are a combination of various child development approaches focused on the WHOLE child.The Wild Grace approach will meet children where they are. This is based on their development, social and emotional well being and any neuro-divergent needs. Wild Grace Nursery School was founded by two moms with extensive child care and child welfare experience. Through the years they both recognize that there is no single approach that works for every child across the board. Especially when considering neuro-divergent children and children with various development needs or trauma histories. The inspiration behind the philosophy of Wild Grace is the whole child, your child; every bit of that tiny human: their brain development, physical development, social and emotional development, and their awareness of the world around them. Taking all of these factors into consideration we have pulled from popular and less recognized development and child rearing approaches. We have taken various aspects of these strategies to develop a program that is completely unique. We are focusing on the CDC developmental milestones and encouraging children in our care to reach these through experiential learning. Wild Grace approaches childcare differently because we know it is much more than ensuring safety. The first three years of a child's life they experience major growth spurts, reach developmental milestones and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Here at Wild Grace we want to be a part of it all. We hope that as you enter Wild Grace you are embraced by the comfort of the home based environment. Our families will be met with invitations to play in an open setting nestled in the heart of the North shore. Wild Grace strives to develop ongoing community partnerships where the children in our program experience the joy of civic engagement and experiential learning. With access to the local ravines and lakefront, our staff are eager to support the children in playing and engaging with nature in a sustainable and respectful manner. Our setting and program are designed to allow each child the opportunity to grow and flourish in a home setting.

Kelsey R. says "I cannot say enough good things about Wild Grace! Sending my child to daycare for the first time was nerve-wracking, but having the wonderful team at...

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Highland Park, IL

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

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