< 1 mi

Wild Grace provides a boutique home-based childcare setting where every child is treated with respect, compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, and patience. Our philosophy and curriculum are a combination of various child development approaches focused on the WHOLE child.The Wild Grace approach will meet children where they are. This is based on their development, social and emotional well being and any neuro-divergent needs. Wild Grace Nursery School was founded by two moms with extensive child care and child welfare experience. Through the years they both recognize that there is no single approach that works for every child across the board. Especially when considering neuro-divergent children and children with various development needs or trauma histories. The inspiration behind the philosophy of Wild Grace is the whole child, your child; every bit of that tiny human: their brain development, physical development, social and emotional development, and their awareness of the world around them. Taking all of these factors into consideration we have pulled from popular and less recognized development and child rearing approaches. We have taken various aspects of these strategies to develop a program that is completely unique. We are focusing on the CDC developmental milestones and encouraging children in our care to reach these through experiential learning. Wild Grace approaches childcare differently because we know it is much more than ensuring safety. The first three years of a child's life they experience major growth spurts, reach developmental milestones and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Here at Wild Grace we want to be a part of it all. We hope that as you enter Wild Grace you are embraced by the comfort of the home based environment. Our families will be met with invitations to play in an open setting nestled in the heart of the North shore. Wild Grace strives to develop ongoing community partnerships where the children in our program experience the joy of civic engagement and experiential learning. With access to the local ravines and lakefront, our staff are eager to support the children in playing and engaging with nature in a sustainable and respectful manner. Our setting and program are designed to allow each child the opportunity to grow and flourish in a home setting.

Kidz Day Care is located in North Chicago, IL and is within 10 minutes of most major businesses in the city (Great Lakes Naval Base, Abbott (Abbvie), Emco, Lovell VA, and Uline. My business has been established in the community for 26+ years. We provide PEACE OF MIND for working parents. The backyard has toddler and preschool friendly play sets (slides, swings, monkey bars). When the Munchkins enter our facility, they are perfectly safe within the &quot;friendly confines&quot; of our privacy fence (completely fenced-in front to back). My facility offers a loving and safe learning environment. The days are structured, but not rigid. Activities for the children vary according to age and include circle time (sing-a-long and discussion), dramatic play, fine/gross motor activities. We pride ourselves with active and quiet activities mingled with social skills with group activities. All equipment is age-appropriate for the development of the children. I generally wear child-friendly shirts imprinted with many cartoon characters (Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, etc.) for the children's fun and amusement. Board games, educational toys, arts and crafts, and reading materials are provided to foster additional development. Kidz Day Care is a participant of a federal funded food program that ensures nutritious meals and snacks. Rest assured that the children are fed on demand and this is a fast rule here, regardless of normal meal times. The day care fees are affordable and can be negotiated upon situation. YWCA/DHS (state subsidy), and DCFS payments are gladly accepted. I am state licensed and CPR certified. At Kidz Day Care, we strive for a rainbow (gender neutral, multicultural, anti-biased) environment. Infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children are welcome (4 wks-12 yrs). A loving, caring atmosphere is provided daily. We speak Spanish. We now have a very informative and upscale website. All are welcome to review and comment. We are always glad to welcome new friends. Again, and I cannot emphasize enough, we offer PEACE OF MIND to working parents...I am always available if there are concerns, or if my parents need to vent. We are always a phone call or text away. It's Day Care/WE CARE!!! I am a firm believer that good, GREAT beginnings never end. Call us and remember, IT'S ALWAYS FUN HERE.
