Castles and Crayons Family Child Care and Preschool

< 1 mi

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

Megan N. says "My daughter attends here and it is lovely. The kids are seamlessly brought into the family and I feel good leaving my 18mo old when I know she's there."

Michele Dunn Daycare

I am a licensed daycare provider (former special education teacher) with seventeen years experience. I provide care for children 6 wks-12 yrs. I believe in providing a loving family environment. I also like to keep enrollment small, so that I may provide more individualized attention. Our daily activities include reading, music, arts/crafts, and outdoor play to name a few. Preschool concepts such as ABC's, counting, etc. are introduced informally through play (blocks, puzzles). I find that routines are very comforting and important to children, and help them develop self confidence. Meals, snacks and rest time are a regular part of our daily routine. I am First Aid/CPR certified and participate in professional development trainings throughout the year. I also receive training from a state food program on a quarterly basis, in the area of nutrition and how it is important to the children in my care.

If you are looking for a responsible, flexible, loving and fun child care provider, look no further. I love to spend time with the kids in my backyard, take walks in the neighborhood, and take trips to nature centers and the zoo. I am active and engaged with the children under my care, whether it is playing games, reading, making arts and crafts or singing (off-key) and dancing. Additionally, I am available for full-time or part-time child care, and do not require any time commitment. I can usually provide last minute drop-in or back-up care. I have been continuously certified in CPR and first aid for over 10 years. Although I have experience with children of all ages, I am not equipped to care for older children in my home. I typically watch one infant/toddler and one or two preschool aged children, but my clientele changes every few years as kids go off to preschool. Please note that I currently have only 1 opening and that preference will be given to a full-time infant. FAQ: Extra diapers, wipes, medications, and extra clothing may be stored at my home. Drop-ins are accepted on a case by case basis. Meals and snacks can be provided for a small fee. Naps and mealtimes vary based on current clientele. Generally I can work with the schedule you are using at home to provide consistency. I do not charge for cancellations. I do provide care for sick children on a case by case basis. Parents are expected to bring a change of clothes and appropriate outerwear for children. Bug spray and sunscreen will be used as necessary- parents may supply their own if they prefer.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in South Elgin, IL

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in South Elgin, 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 South Elgin, IL.

When looking for a preschool near you in South Elgin, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
