Our focus is to promote development in child's physical, social-emotional, language and cognitive areas. Children explore their world through play, and hence giving them enough time to play through careful planning help them have positive learning experience. Purposeful and productive play encourages children to express themselves freely, communicate with others and follow their natural instincts of discovery.

WE HAVE OPENINGS FOR TEACHERS! My name is Robin, and I have been providing home daycare in Downers Grove for 30 years! Some of the first children we ever provided care for have brought their children to us for daycare too! Every day there is active play, social skills, reading, games, puzzles, and/or arts and crafts. We offer the Carol's Affordable Curriculum preschool program for ages 3 years old - 5 years old. We spend a lot of time outside in our fenced in backyard, weather permitting.

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

If you're interested in at-home daycare for your little ones, I have part time availability (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) in my south Downers Grove home. I offer a small group setting in a safe, nurturing environment that allows kids to be creative and grow through play. I'll also provide healthy meals and a big yard for play. There is also a park within walking distance! My background includes 16+ years of hospital-based medical experience, and after having two children (a son and daughter), I've decided to dedicate my love and attention to them. I'd like to extend that same compassion to your precious bundles, while giving parents peace of mind that the children are safe and well cared for.

I have been providing high-quality early childhood education and care in my DCFS licensed Downers Grove home for over 25 years. We have a bright and happy home with a fun mixed-age group of friends who would welcome your child. My husband, Rick, has been working full-time with me for 20 years and our daughter, Carly, has been a full-time assistant for 6 years after being part-time for years. All three providers are DCFS back-ground checked, CPR/First Aid certified, Food Handler Certified, as well as current with our Tdap, MMR, and Covid-19 immunizations, and our water has passed lead testing, as required by DCFS. Normally, we have just two infant spaces, even though our license permits four, so that we always have a set of arms available. Our program is play-based with a well-balanced variety of activities offered throughout the day. During the school year we offer daily structured preschool activities using the Funshine Express curriculum and Creative Curriculum. Our daily goal is to provide a safe and happy environment where your child can play, learn, and grow while feeling secure and loved so that they can develop self-esteem and skills. Preschool and School-age children enjoy summers is filled with field trips to local parks, the DG library, Zoo, Wednesday morning movies, Arboretum, fun at the sprinkler parks as well as some good old-fashioned fun right in our own huge yard.

I would like to take care for two children full time in my home. I am a mother of three. I am CPR and First Aid trained. References and letters of recommendations available. I have 29 years experience working with children in music and public elementary schools, YMCA, park district, daycare. I instructed child fitness classes, art/crafts classes, toddler programs, birthday parties. Currently I teach piano/voice at a local music school and privately late afternoons and evenings part time. We got a large yard with a Little Tykes playhouse, little slide and picnic table/benches for toddlers, playground park is 5 min walking distance. Inside I have a mini-trampoline, large exercising mats and age appropriate toys. I serve healthy meals, many homemade with organic milk, rBTS/rBGH free diary, most veggies/fruits organic, no toxic preservatives or dyes,no artificial colors in cereal, uncured hams, hotdogs. We do not buy pop drinks and we do not use white table sugar. We prefer stevia, honey, agave syrup and maple syrup. No harmful electromagnetic radiation - our router and modem are wired, home phone is corded. I attended an art school for eleven years and I like to do arts and crafts with children. We can sing and play on simple music instruments but piano lessons are optional too. Story times, games, outdoor fun with bubbles, parachute, chalk drawing. Children will have a lot of personal attention, less exposure to germs like you can find in large daycare centers. I can drive them to a preschool and activities as well, outings to parks, library, amusement places if parents agree and sign a permission.
