Grove Ave McHenry, IL

Hello! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am married, we have two young dogs and I am a mother of two amazing kiddos. I have a 10 yr old daughter who is a cheerleader for MJW, she loves animals, young children and has a big heart! I also have a 3y old boy. He is also very loving, plays well with others and loves to be silly! I am currently a preschool teacher at a daycare in Lake Zurich, however, I am planning on leaving to stay home with my kids. Through my experience, it is to my belief that the healthiest place for a child is in a loving home. I have an Associates degree with Early Childhood Ed. credits which makes me Teacher Qualified by the state. I am CPR/Choking/First Aid certified. I also have SIDs and Shaken baby training. I am passionate about children and providing a safe, healthy and loving environment for them to grow. I pride myself on being a mother and making sure my children are a priority.

Get set for a thrill-filled summer! Our age-specific, kid-approved camps add up to a season of discovery and fun for preschool to school-age children. This year, our 12 weeks of camps fall into six great themes: Mighty Bodies, Bendy Brains; Awesome Art; Gravity Galore and More; The Wondrous World of Food; Wild about Water; and Featured Creatures. We're in session when your local public schools are on break and you'll find our flexible scheduling works for your busy family. See why our summer (and winter and spring) break camps are the place to be when school's out.
Mother of a 5 year old girl, step mom to a 3 year old boy, great with kids. I home schooled my little girl for the majority of her pre-kindergarten life, as well as I used to be an after-school program art teacher. Your child will be fed home-cooked, nutritious food, engaged in play, taught, read to, played with. Music, dance, arts and crafts. Lots of fun to be had. I am firm, I believe manners are important and great behavior is rewarded. I have a large home, and because of our children, toys, games, and books abound! Non-smoking, drug free environment. Feel free to ask me anything! Available for full-time, part-time, and emergency sitting.

Little Miracles & Milestones Child Care

603 Kensington Dr. McHenry, IL

< 1 mi

I am a loving, caring Mom of two who believes that children are one of the most fascinating, important aspects of our lives. I have experience with both typical and special needs children as well. My home is a fun, loving, and caring place to be. My goal is to provide a warm, loving environment that allows for a lot of one on one time with your child, with no more than 3 children present at one time, specializing in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I am very excited to be using curriculum from 1-2-3 Curriculum that will allow me to begin teaching concepts that will help them grow socially, cognitively, and emotionally. There is even curriculum for infants! We will be covering a different theme that lasts for 1 or 2 weeks generally and it includes, for infants: story time, sign language, small muscle movement, senses, singing, and dramatic play to name a few. For toddler: it includes books, art, numbers, dramatic play, and much more as well. For pre-K, it includes circle time, reading, music, games, writing, letter, number and color recognition, to name a few areas. Of course, there will lots of time for learning through play, and just plain old having fun! I have a variety of toys and learning opportunities available, as well as a fenced in yard. Little Miracles and Milestones is all about your child enjoying themselves in a safe, fun environment. After we have been together for a couple of weeks, we will then try to keep things as consistent as possible so that your child knows what to expect and when. Meals, snacks, and naptimes will be as consistent as possible, working with your childs schedule so that they know what to expect, which fosters trust on the childs' part. You are always welcome to visit at any time. I just ask that you knock on the door instead of ringing the bell so that we don't startle any sleeping children. Please feel free to call or text me at any time, as well. If I don't answer, I will call back or text as soon as possible. As parents, you are your child's first and best teachers. You know your child better than anyone else. I welcome your expertise in calming, favorite items, and anything else that will make your child feel comfortable here. You will also receive a daily sheet, showing what we did today, including naps, feedings, food, and fun! Susan

636 Gerry Street Woodstock, IL

Creative Learning Childcare is a licensed, family daycare located on Gerry Street, just blocks from Emricson Park, Woodstock Square and Dean Street Elementary School. I've worked with children over the past 23 years from ages 5 weeks to 18 years (special needs included). I owned a licensed daycare in Palatine and Barrington many years ago, and cared for and watched grow to adulthood many wonderful children. Several of whom graduated college and went on to very lucrative careers, (2 doctors). How can anyone ask for a better job than this!? When I moved to Woodstock 5 years ago, I went back to college and received my certificate in Early Childhood Education, along with taking many other courses associated with early childhood growth and development, attending seminars, and continue to take online courses through INCCRRA. I then worked with the school district for several years as a building supervisor with the after school program at both Dean street and Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center with preschool through 5th grade children. I then made the decision to once again open an in-home childcare in order to better serve the families whose children I care for. With over 20 years' experience in the child care field, certificates in Early Childhood growth/development, First Aid/CPR-certified, and fully licensed in the state of Illinois, CLC is dedicated to making your child and family feel like part of our family, with low maximum enrollment, your child will receive more one-on-one care to better serve their needs. I have a daily schedule which includes but not limited to, free outdoor/indoor imaginative play, sensory play, reading, math, and writing skill development, music and movement, arts and crafts, science, and dedicated homework time! *Movie, games and special snack Fridays! Creative Learning Childcare is the place for your child to feel at home in my home! Competitive rates, 1/2 off 1 week following 3 consecutive months of care, as well as 10% off second child. Located near downtown Woodstock, Emricson Park and Dean Street School, with drop-off/pick-up from Dean Street daily for Dean students. Full day, part day and before/after school rates available for infants, toddlers and school-aged children. Please inquire. For more information or to schedule a visit, please contact Ms. Kim @ (815) 596-0170. or email; kimscreativelearningchildcare@gmail.com

We operate a small family home day care and are different than a Day Care Center because the number of children that are enrolled is limited. By staying small, we are able to provide the quality care and nurturing atmosphere that your child deserves, which makes our home day care a premium service. I &amp; G Home Family Day Care is not a preschool, but we do offer a theme based preschool program. Children participate in a full range of activities such as free play, outside play, stories, dramatic play, creative arts, crafts, music, and much more. As a family child care provider, our goal is to provide a safe and happy learning environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace. We offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. As your partner in caring for your child, our interaction with you, the parent, is as important as my interaction with your child. We encourage parent involvement in the child care setting. We look forward to welcoming your child into our daycare!

Welcome to the Fields House! We are parents and we were completely unsatisfied with the childcare and education options locally so we designed the Fields House to be something different and unique. We thought of our 'wish list' we had when we were searching for childcare for our children, and we checked off most of the things on our list. We genuinely care for each child's wellbeing, their happiness, and hope that we build better tiny humans for the world. The Fields House loves the outdoors and keeps all of friends big and small moving and engaged all day long. We have a large fenced in yard, heated pool, splash pads, trampoline, giant playset, and all the outdoor toys a kid could ever want. When the weather brings us inside, we created a home away from home for our friends with a private library, cabinets packed full of toys, crafts, and lots of pillows and blankets to cuddle with. We encourage imagination play with several stations setup throughout the kids dayroom and challenge their understanding of the world by opening up discussions during meal times. It is utterly amazing to see the world through a child's eyes and to see the excitement of learning or doing something new. We are strong believers in consistency, allowing kids to be kids, giving space for creativity and imagination, and pushing kids to their limits. We think kids will only reach as high as you set the bar and kids are far more capable than we give them credit for. We are CPR/First Aid certified through Red Cross, and have completed training in SBS, SIDS/SUID, and Childhood Development. We also have Zoom cameras located throughout the Fields House so you can be a part of your little ones day. We are flexible and accommodating. We don't charge for sick days or for family days off. We have some kids once a week, some kids all week, some kids every other week and make ourselves available for whenever your kids may need us. We are open Monday - Saturday 530am to 730pm and Sundays from 10am to 3pm. If your schedule needs overnight care, we are there for that too. We would love to speak with you more, feel free to text/call/message us at your earliest convenience. Fields House | Ingleside, Illinois (224) 213-8841 Contact@FieldsHouseChildcare.com

FAQs for finding preschools near you in McHenry, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in McHenry, 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 McHenry, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in McHenry, 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 McHenry, IL.

When looking for a preschool near you in McHenry, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
