I would like to take care for two children full time in my home. I am a mother of three. I am CPR and First Aid trained. References and letters of recommendations available. I have 29 years experience working with children in music and public elementary schools, YMCA, park district, daycare. I instructed child fitness classes, art/crafts classes, toddler programs, birthday parties. Currently I teach piano/voice at a local music school and privately late afternoons and evenings part time. We got a large yard with a Little Tykes playhouse, little slide and picnic table/benches for toddlers, playground park is 5 min walking distance. Inside I have a mini-trampoline, large exercising mats and age appropriate toys. I serve healthy meals, many homemade with organic milk, rBTS/rBGH free diary, most veggies/fruits organic, no toxic preservatives or dyes,no artificial colors in cereal, uncured hams, hotdogs. We do not buy pop drinks and we do not use white table sugar. We prefer stevia, honey, agave syrup and maple syrup. No harmful electromagnetic radiation - our router and modem are wired, home phone is corded. I attended an art school for eleven years and I like to do arts and crafts with children. We can sing and play on simple music instruments but piano lessons are optional too. Story times, games, outdoor fun with bubbles, parachute, chalk drawing. Children will have a lot of personal attention, less exposure to germs like you can find in large daycare centers. I can drive them to a preschool and activities as well, outings to parks, library, amusement places if parents agree and sign a permission.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Riverside, IL

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

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

When looking for a preschool near you in Riverside, 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.
