**CURRENTLY HAVE JUST 2 OPENINGS LEFT FOR AGES 3 and up. Welcome to "IT'S TIME FOR A HUGE" Daycare. You've found the right place!!!! I have open arms for more little friends to join our daycare family! I am confident that how you feel about your job makes a world of difference in how you will perform at it and the care you provide. I love what I do and that's why I choose to do it. I have a very small group and am only going to fill just two spots which means more time with each child. I offer many fun experiences such as monthly field trips (weather permitting) which they would not get in a large group home or childcare centers. We go to the library, parks, children's museums and local petting zoos and local orchards that offer children's activities. We enjoy baking, arts & crafts, story-time and much more! We have so much to offer and reasonable rates! They will be treated with love and respect and always cared for as my own! Safety measures are in place throughout the house to make sure the children are safe at all times. We have a large fenced backyard to play in. We spend as much time outside as possible getting lots of exercise and fresh air. During the day we have both structured and free play including: Story-time; Music-time; Craft-time; Free-play; Snuggle-time (Anytime); Occasional field-trips

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.

My name is Sherri and I am a mom of 3 beautiful school age children. I have had more than one person say to me "they want to come back as one of my kids in their next life." I love being a mother and spending quality time with my children. When I was young I babysat before I had my own children, and I'm still friends with two of the family's all these years later. I worked as a camp counselor all through high school and college. I taught dance lessons to children. As a mom I coached all my children in soccer. I also have been involved in the PTO and have been room mom every year. I LOVE children!!! I live in a very spacious smoke free, pet free home (not cats and dogs, just Guinea pig). I'm looking for care for a child or two in my home Mon-Fri part time. This would be great if you worked from home and wanted peace during the day:) I love to read with children, do crafts, play board games, and play outdoors.

I started my daycare in 2004, and watch children birth through five years. I have two of my own grown children, two step children, and one grandson. My program is nationally accredited through NAFCC, 3 Star QRS rating, and licensed through the State of Illinois. I am a member of Little Hands Network of childcare providers. I also manage an Early Childhood Toys group site where we buy and sell used toys. I believe that children need to learn more than ABC's and 123's. In my program children learn independence, respect, responsibility, exploration, and practical life skills. The goals of my program focus on four areas of child development: 1. Social/emotional: to help children develop independence, self-confidence, and self-control, follow rules and routines, make friends, and learn what it means to be a member of a group. 2. Physical: to increase children's large muscle skills-balancing, running, jumping, throwing and catching-and use the small muscles in their hands to do tasks like buttoning, stringing beads, cutting, drawing, and writing. 3. Cognitive: to acquire thinking skills such as the ability to solve problems, to ask questions, and to think logically-sorting, classifying, comparing, counting, and making patterns-and to use materials and their imagination to show what they have learned. 4. Language: to use words to communicate with others, listen to and participate in conversations with others, understand the purpose of print, recognize letters and words, and begin writing for a purpose. We want children to become independent, self-confident, curious learners who can work well with others. We are teaching them HOW to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives. We do this by creating purposeful and productive play experiences that help children grow in all areas. Through the activities we plan and the way we organize the classroom, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, we seek to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in school. I look forward to meeting you! Please contact me by email at kristinebeard@yahoo.com with any questions.

Hi, my name is Amy and I operate a family child care home in Island Lake. I have a degree in Child Development/Family Living with a minor in Nutrition from Western Illinois University. I have been working with children in both day care homes and day care centers since graduating from college. My most recent employment was the director of a day care center that was licensed for 80 children. Along with my directing experience I have also been a head teacher in classrooms with infants, preschoolers and school age children. I have raised 4 wonderful children of my own and had a family child care center when they were young. I am certified in both CPR and First Aid. The children in my care enjoy the loving home atmosphere that makes them feel like a member of our family. We have a busy day learning and playing with age appropriate materials including art and science activities. Nutritious snacks and meals will be served daily. I am looking for long term families to grow with my small business. I have worked with all age groups of children, but especially enjoy caring for infants. Excellent references available. Please call today to set up a time to meet with me so the fun and learning can begin for your child/children. 2 openings!!! Start as soon as you need to.
