My name is Matrisa, and I am 30yrs old. My husband and I had our first daughter in February 2016, and we live in Winfield. I am a teacher who has decided to stay at home to care for my daughter, but I want to stay connected to education and children by opening my in-home daycare. I have my teacher certification and I'll be completing my master's in Educational Psychology by December of 2017. I was a high school teacher for 5 years, and I have watched infants+ and tutored school age children for over 15 years. My ultimate goal for my in-home daycare/nannying services is to provide a positive, fun, and educational experience for children of any age. I incorporate skill building activities daily, and I can tutor almost all school subjects. The children in my care learn through structured play time and free play time activities. I also help my daycare children work on expressing themselves in developmental and age appropriate ways. I support the behavioral and developmental expectations parents have for their children in every way possible. Please let me know if you are working on transitioning your child to a new behavior or skill, and I will make that a focus as well! I plan to keep my daycare small for the time being, so I will only care for 3 children at a time. This will allow me to provide more individual attention to the children. I have openings starting in mid-September 2017!!!

I offer full day child care with a preschool curriculum offered on a daily basis at a reasonable price. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, am Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, am the President of the Carol Stream Home Day Care Association and have been in the field over 25 years. I have been certified in First Aid and CPR for over 23 years and have special needs training. I write my own curriculum and work on the social and emotional development of your child as well as the cognitive and motor skills that they will need for kindergarten. I provide parents with a monthly newsletter that explain the children's activities for the previous month and a calendar that tells what we will be working on for the current month. I provide a subscription to Parent magazine for the parents of my children who are enrolled to provide them with educational materials along with other resources. I work from weekly themes that start with the alphabet at the beginning of the year and will cover each letter for one week. I will then work on themes such as community helpers, vegetables, fruits, etc. I work on math skills such as number recognition, sorting, patterning, and simple addition and subtraction. I use redirection and problem solving with the children and want them to use critical thinking and reasoning on a daily basis. I incorporate science into our curriculum through out the year and will grow butterflies from caterpillars and watch the different stages of their development as we cover this theme. I help the children to learn good sanitary and health habits through hand washing and good eating practices. I am a member of the Illinois food program which requires a well balanced and healthy meal plan for the children on a daily basis. Please view my websites which are www.sandyslearninghouse.com and www.sandyshomedaycare.com, email me or call me to view my facility. I look forward to hearing from you.

In-Home daycare
I began partnering with parents as their daytime "fill-in", in May 2002. Trading in 16 years as a licensed securities professional, I opted for a different sort of "security" - one of my own home, family, and community. Having been an expert in an industry that emphasizes terms like "dividend" and "return on investment", in my heart, the purest dividend is watching a child smile. There is no better return on investment than helping to add value to a child's life. This is why I have built Castles and Crayons. * Preschool Program * DCFS Licensed * 64.5 Credit (quarter) hours in Early Childhood Education - working on my BA in Early Childhood Education * Serving ages 6 weeks old - 7 years old (1st grade) * Hours of operation - Monday - Friday 7:00 am - 5:30 pm * Competitive Rates

Mulberry Farm Daycare

Welcome to Mulberry Farm Daycare! We operate our daycare in my charming 120 yr old farm house. The daycare sits on a pretty 1.3 acre lot, where a canopy of tree's cover most of the yard. We are conveniently located next to La Fox train station, just west of the Millcreek Elementary School. We are also in close proximity to the Kaneland School District. My name is Shelley Ost and I run this small daycare from my home. I am a certified in home daycare provider and a 200 hr registered children's yoga teacher. I am British and I have been in the US for about sixteen years. Our daily schedule consists many things. We cover Kindergarten readiness preparation, such as practicing hand writing, using scissors, number/letter recognition etc. We also have unstructured play time which is essential for social and emotional development for school. We bake, paint, garden, dig in the mud, use the sand and water tables, and play many outside games so the children get a good amount of physical activity and fresh air. We gather the chicken eggs, look after the animals and have many teddy bear picnics. Arts and crafts are a favorite of the children and we love creating new things every day. We are a special little daycare. We have very small numbers of children here and we like to create a warm and nurturing atmosphere. The children become an extension of our family, and the families become our friends. We keep goats, chickens, ducks, two small dogs and a cat. The children help take care of the animals, and "farm life" is interwoven in to our daily schedule. Caring for the animals provides countless opportunities for the children to learn about life, nature, health etc. Being outside is very important to us, and we spend as much time out in nature as the weather allows. Due to a few of my daycare children starting preschool, I currently have two openings. These spots are available for children aged two and above. If you would like to schedule a tour, or talk to the parents of the children I watch, please let me know. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or if you are interested in taking one of these spots, they will go fast.

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. 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 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.

When looking for a preschool near you in Saint Charles, 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.
