The Chestnut Tree Organic Home-daycare

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not accepting Subsidized Tuition from the State of Illinois at the present time.

Hello~
My name is Emily Marx and I'm offering a unique, one in a million Home Daycare to children 4 weeks to 12 years of age. My hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
LONGER HOURS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE.

I'm proud to have the only Daycare in all Chicagoland to offer a
100% Organic Menu. I am a Natural Foods Chef &
Pastry Chef & have a passion for sharing healthy cooking with children!

I have taught Kindergarten at a Waldorf School and offer my talents as an Artist, (Painting & Ceramics) teaching the children through our weekly Art Classes. I fire the children's clay artwork at a nearby Pottery studio in Wheaton.

"Key Words" describing my Daycare:

Very loving, gentle, fun, silly, patient, lots of personal attention and sincere love. I feel we create a loving family within our home Daycare, allowing the children to feel very comfortable and inspired to unfold and become the wonderful little people that they are from exploring the many classes, activities and free play each day. Lots of holding, loving and singing to babies and one on one.
