I offer a small daycare in my home. Having a small group gives more time for individual attention. I have 20 years of experience working with children at daycare centers and preschools, as well as having my own small home daycare. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and 4 children of my own. I love children and have lots of patience! We will have lots of arts and crafts, stories, baking, gardening, visits to various parks and library, as well as occasional field trips. I am first aid and CPR certified and offer a non-smoking home. I believe that children learn through play and I set up experiences for them to explore. I will care for your child as if they were my own and most of all we will have fun!

I am DCFS licensed and a CPR/First Aid certified child care home. Does your child deserve the love and attention I can give? After having my own children in home day care and never feeling completely comfortable, I opened my home to families as a day care provider. I am an extension of your family. My house is a second home to your child. Your child will eventually feel as comfortable in my home as he is in yours. As a DFCS licensed home you can expect a completely safe, secure and monitored environment for your child. DCFS makes unannounced visits several times a year. They check everything! Not just the obvious outlet covers. They check my well water, inside toys, all my play equipment, even for dips in the yard a child could trip on. I believe you should never put your child in a home that is not licensed. I am continually educating myself in child development, special needs and nutrition. Now down to what's really important. I am a wife (19 happy years) and a mother of two. My home is located at the end of a dead end street, with a fenced in one acre yard, blocks from Anderson School. My favorite thing to do is see my day care family's children smile when they learn new things that they are capable of doing. There is no joy greater than seeing a child accomplish new things. I teach ABC's, numbers, shapes, colors, and always have a science project going. We keep busy with games, crafts, art, and hands on discovery. My daycare children do not want to go home at the end of the day. I love what I do.

Experienced Caregiver Looking For 1 To 2 Children, Ages Newborn To Kindergarten, To Care For In My Home. I Am Available 7:00 a.m. To 5:00 p.m., Mon.- Fri. I have childcare experience working in preschools as a teacher and in my home as a private caregiver. Recently, I have taken care of a little boy in my home since he was 2 months old. He will be going off to Kindergarten in the Fall. Caring for my own 4 children (ages 2-14) has given me valuable experience with children at all stages of development. I am great with newborns and really enjoy this precious age. Toddlers are energetic and inquisitive, and I like to help them learn while they play. Homemade playdough is always a hit with this age, and I encourage outdoor play in my backyard play area. Art is one of my hobbies that I like to share with the children. Music and story time are so important to developing early reading and math skills. Working puzzles and building with blocks help with problem solving skills. I believe in the "learning through play" philosophy. Children learn best when they are comfortable and secure with their surroundings. At my home they will receive love and kindness that all children need to grow into healthy little individuals.

I also teach a full preschool curriculum during school year, piano, and have circle time with the little ones singing and playing little instruments. We do many crafts and read lots of books! We love playing games and spending a lot of time outside playing. I work to help children build self-confidence and self-esteem as a result of positive daily experiences. I want children to feel safe and loved and to be in a family oriented environment in which children can express their creativity, develop social skills, grow intellectually, and build trusting relationships. I have a beautiful big fenced in backyard and I am walking distance to a lovely park. I love children and I love watching them grow and learn.

My name is Kathryn Miller and an experienced babysitter/nanny and mother. I am looking for a stable, long-term nanny position with a child near the age of my own (born early March, 2017). I would also be amenable to care in my home for a lower rate. I am also happy to take a part-time position if hours and compensation are adequate for my own budget. I strongly believe based on both my education and mother's intuition that babies and young toddlers benefit from a more home-like setting with more cuddles and a less rigid schedule. I do believe in encouraging an age-appropriate measure of independent play, but I also believe that, if possible, it's better to pick up a baby before they become too upset. In my care, babies receive frequent diaper changes, age appropriate exercise, sensory play, time outside when weather allows, music time, book time, silly baby games, cuddling, and Spanish time. I also take care of oral hygiene if with them a full day, and I make sure they get the rest they need. I can give baths once in a while if you're busy (or after a diaper explosion). I also keep a record of your child's day so you know how their day went. If care is in my home: Field Trips to the Gail Borden library are taken regularly year round. Field trips that require an extra measure of safety are taken when I have assistance from my husband or mother (a registered nurse). Examples would be: the swimming pool, nature centers, and seasonal outings. (I take care of expenses.) If care is in your home, I'm happy to go to your local library/pool, with parents responsible for any extra expenses. Additional information regarding myself: *I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Elmhurst College with a focus on Education. *I am CPR &amp; First Aid Certified: adults and children. *Three years experience as a live-out nanny for child from age 1-4 (Reference information provided to serious inquirers). *Non-smoking. *Experience as a teacher's aide, ages 3-18, in school settings in the USA and Ecuador. Experience with younger children/babies in church nursery. *Fluent in the Spanish language via schooling in the United States, and Ecuador service trips with Habitat for Humanity through my church, and a semester abroad through the International Service Learning Program. *I've taken coursework in nutrition as a part of my education curriculum. Foods are always fresh and healthy-sugary treats are reserved for special occasions only.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Saint Charles, IL

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

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