I am a mother of two school age boys. I have more than 15 years experience with children of all ages. I started caring for children in my home 7 years ago and absolutely love it! I love to get the children outside as much as possible. We have a nearby park and we have so many activities to do just in the yard. If the weather is not in our favor we will have a variety of things to do in the house, from crafts, reading, playing with toys etc. I will treat your child as if they were my own! I believe in positive communication and provide a loving atmosphere. I do also provide before and after school care. I will make sure that your child starts and/or finishes their homework prior to you picking them up. Thank you so much for reading my profile,. I hope to hear from you.

When I married, I started at home care for children (3 months to 10yrs). I grew up in a large family of 8 children. I have 24 nephews & nieces just on my side, with 12 great nephews & nieces under the age of 9yrs, and a new one on the way in September. I have watched and taken care of many little ones. My most recent, two small boys for the last 3 years. Dad is a Teacher and off with the boys for the summer.

Thank you for taking time to visit our profile! We are not babysitters, but child care professionals and educators. At Creative Development Child Care we partner with parents to promote the development of each child. We provide a preschool learning environment in a safe, loving and nurturing home. Our goal is for each child to be well prepared for the transition to kindergarten. Because each child is different, we observe and based on individual interest, develop methods to teach each child. We use age-appropriate curriculum and provide lots of opportunity for &quot;creative learning.&quot; There are educational, yet fun, field trips. Children have outside play (weather permitting) and nutritional meals (based on federal quality standards). The benefits of having small group care are: 1. The ability to provide individualized attention. 2. Younger children are subliminally exposed to the same materials as the older children (i.e. alphabets, phonics, colors, and numbers). 3. Capability to work with families in the development of their children. &quot;A hundred years from now the world may be better... because I was important in a child's life.&quot;

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Oak Forest, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Oak Forest, 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.

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

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