Hi! I am a stay at home mom who offers care to a couple of children in addition to my own 3 year old daughter. I believe whole heartedly in the individual attention and comfort that being in a home environment provides. Our days are spent learning through play, reading, pretend, creating and exploring our world outdoors. This is not a pulsating day care center that is constantly loud and going, going 24/7. This is a home. We also enjoy some down time to snack, relax and nap. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I have always had a natural rapport with children. I have never met a child that doesn't respond to me. I really understand kids and make it my business to make sure they know they are loved, understood and appreciated for being uniquely, wonderful Them! I have been a mother for 19 years. I am also a former teacher at a Mommy &amp; Me program where you learn through play and music. I was a very popular teacher there whose classes filled up immediately. I believe that young children learn through having fun and enjoying their environment. I am always signing, reading, and just plain fun. I give all children in my care plenty of eye contact, one on one attention, hugs and love. I serve lots of fresh fruit and healthy, kid friendly meals. My home is very safe and chock full of games, dolls, trucks, make believe dress up, books, and fun! We love to be outdoors. I have a swing set, sandbox, water table, chalk, bubbles, sprinklers, ride on toys and a park around the corner. My backyard is totally fenced as well. I am a very warm, loving, patient woman who will be a friend not just an employee. I like for families to feel a part of our family and home. If I am caring for your heart and soul all day, you should absolutely feel welcomed and able to come on in, anytime you please. If you would like to talk further with me or have some questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I am always hopeful to build relationships that are mutually beneficial. Thanks for learning about me.

I provide full-time/part-time daycare in my home for infants and very young children (ages 6 weeks -2 years old). I have been providing daycare in my home for the past 12 years caring for children from infants to elementary school aged -including infant twins. I myself have a teenage daughter and son who have both babysat for family and friends. I did work at a public daycare center last year primarily in the infant room. I will take care of no more than 3 infants/children on any given day. I really enjoy taking care of babies and know that parents struggle with leaving their very young children in the care of others. I am here to work with you to make the transition to daycare as stress free and comfortable as possible. Your baby will be taken care of in an environment that is safe, secure, and happy. Feeding, diapering and napping schedules will be followed to your desires or I will work with you to figure one out. I have a room setup as a nursery in my home with many baby items. Please call to talk to me or set up an interview 630-254-6134. I am so excited to have a few babies to care for.

We prepare for preschool and kindergarten by introducing and reviewing: shapes, numbers, letters and colors daily. We work on fine and gross motor skills with crafts and projects and also practice life skills such as tying shoe laces, zippering a jacket, buttoning a coat and much more.I feel that it is important to provide each child with individualized care and treat them as if they are my own. I have worked in a daycare center before, taught Religious education and have experience as a nanny. In total, I have over 20 years working with children and love working with little ones:) I am located in Riverbrook Estates off of Theodore and Rt. 59 which is conveniently located near I-55 and I-80.

MLH Early Education received the Gold ExceleRate of Illinois as of March 2025. Kera Lewis- Rodriguez, philosophy of teaching focuses on the cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development of each child. With the creative use of basic American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish, Creative Curriculum, Ages &amp; Stages assessment tool, and manipulatives (i.e. Lego bricks, puzzles, foam letters, numbers, and shapes, etc.), the children retain information for basic learning and use what is taught to progress into elementary school. The children are given opportunities to work together and solve problems, and are encouraged to try new things, establishing a sense of teamwork and building self-confidence as they develop their social skills and physical development.
