My hours are 7:30- 5:30, M-F. A little bit about about me... I'm Katie and I'm a mom to a sweet little girl that was born in August of 2013 & a boy born October, 2015. I have 8+ years experience working with children, most of which is working with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my BA in Applied Psychology with an emphasis in developmental psychology. I was a nanny for several years and also worked at a daycare in the West Loop where I was an infant teacher. I also did an internship with a preschool in Bridgeport. I'm First Aid & CPR certified. The daycare is in the process of being licensed by DCFS. I will have a maximum of 8 children so we can ensure each child receives the proper care and attention. We will be accepting children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years of age. The daycare is located on the first floor of our residence with a lot of open space and a variety of toys for the children to play with. I plan to spend as much time outdoors with the children, weather permitting as well as trips to the local parks. I provide healthy meals & snacks using whole foods. I don't believe children should eat too much processed food or juices. My teaching philosophy is that I help children learn through play and by exploring their environment. Under my care, daily routines include: daily story time, listening to music and dancing, puzzles, imagination play and art projects using paint and crayons. Snuggle Bear Day Care is dual language in Spanish. I have a dynamic curriculum that incorporates music, dancing, arts, crafts and science into learning. We are always finding creative ways to make learning fun! The day care is also Eco-friendly. We encourage the use of bamboo towels instead of paper towels. Furniture is made of natural materials, no laminate plywood. I also teach the children about recycling and sometimes use recycled materials to make art projects.

Megan L. says "Snuggle Bear Day Care is a wonderful in-home day care! I feel so lucky we found it. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone. She cares for my daughter...

Discovery Rainbow Home Daycare and Preschool has been serving families of the western suburbs since 2002. With almost 1000 ft.² of indoor space dedicated to the children, as well as 4000 ft.² of private outdoor play space, we’ve worked hard throughout the years to maintain a clean and well kept environment. Most of all every family who comes to us becomes part of our Discovery Rainbow Family. Here at Discovery Rainbow, we offer play based and structured learning providing your child with a wide range of age-appropriate experiences during their time with us. We provide breakfast, lunch and two snacks daily as well as special holiday and birthday snacks when we celebrate your child’s special day. All children get their own cot, pillow and blanket and are expected to rest once a day during our “quiet time” which is also Miss Jennie and Mr. Jim’s lunch break. We allow your child time throughout the day to play freely by themselves or with other friends. We also put older children into smaller groups for structured play experiences. We provide a year-round preschool curriculum focusing on letters, numbers, shapes, listening skills, communication skills, following directions and focus. We read stories that go along with our letter of the week or our preschool theme that week. As part of the holidays or special theme weeks, stories may be about Santa, Easter Bunny, friends, equality, acceptance, or behavior. We provide art experiences that help children follow directions, learn steps, practice their small motor skills, learn to cut, paste and be creative. Occasionally the older children get the opportunity for Cooking with Miss Jennie where they have fun helping make a snack, they will eat that day. It helps them learn to follow step by step directions, how to measure ingredients, math skills, and taking turns. We provide structured group times where we play games, have dance parties, and participate in large motor play with our indoor balance beams, etc. We have a fully gated yard and playground and try to get the kids out at least once a day, weather permitting. Above all else we try to teach the children to be respectful and show kindness, love, and acceptance to one another regardless of differences. To always try to be a good friend, take turns and share. Thank You for considering Discovery Rainbow Home Daycare & Preschool for your families childcare needs.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Lyons, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Lyons, IL. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Lyons, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Lyons, IL, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Lyons, IL.

When looking for a preschool near you in Lyons, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
