We are a family owned daycare with little or no turnover. We have been operating since 1981. Currently over 34 years. We used to be private to St. Margaret Mercy employees, but we have currently opened up some spots to the public. We strive in your child's well-being and education. Let the fun begin with your child at Tom Thumb Child Care. We have had many second generation children. Let us share in your child's care. The program we offer is a wide variety of experiences for each child, of course some will be more individualized than others, but all will be related to the child's day to day experiences as a member of a group. The children will learn that though each person is an individual and unique in his own way, people are a member of a group and have to operate and live their lives as a member of a group. We will provide for the individual playtime and crafts as well as activities which will require the team effort of many children. Physical as well as mental activities will be abundant throughout the center for each child. We want to provide a creative, constructive, safe and loving environment for the children in which they can grow, develop and learn within.

10049 S Carpenter St Chicago, IL

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 Whiting, IN

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Whiting, IN, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.

Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Whiting, IN.
