I am a mother of 3 children. I have a 12 year old son, a 8 year old son, and a 4 year old foster daughter. I have watched and cared for children since I was 13 years old. I am currently a licensed foster parent through DCFS. I have had a background and fingerprint check done, as well as I get my home inspected every month. I would love to provide caring, and educational atmosphere for your child in my home. If received permission, I would also love to bring your child to the park, library, and other fun activities. I am in school boundaries of Hillcrest Elementary, W.C. Petty, and AUGS in Antioch, IL. I may possibly be able to pick up your child at your child's school as well. Please message me with any questions you have. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren.

We pride our centers in reflecting the communities within which they serve. This high level of care provides our stakeholders with the best, most differentiated care for their children, that is tailored to their specific needs. As a family-run business, we pride ourselves in listening to our families’ needs and continue to grow and evolve with their children.

Children five months or five years of age have already embarked on a journey from which they are learning great lessons, those that are traditionally academic and those that will shape their character. At Alta Vista We help our students to learn and understand the world, so that one day they'll know how to make it a better place for themselves and others. We emphasize an academic curriculum that focuses on how we learn and not what we learn to develop a lifelong love for learning and the skills to do so. We foster independence, self-direction, and responsibility to empower them to follow the life of their own choosing. We model collaboration, cooperation and helpfulness to inspire them to live a life of service and peace. Following authentic Montessori practices, our classes are mixed-aged, which is the ideal setting for peer teaching, role modeling, honing leadership, and building a strong sense of community. Our experienced teachers engage the children in specially prepared classrooms using a stimulating curriculum at each level. Everything in the classroom is designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children. There is no limit to what children can learn, and they are able to advance through the curriculum as quickly as they are ready, without being limited by the progress of their peers. Our Montessori materials have been researched and scientifically developed as well as tested in classrooms for over 100 years all over the world. Our teachers take great care in preparing the environment; materials are arranged sequentially, children have comfortable work space, and there is freedom of physical movement. We offer an accredited Montessori School as well as daycare for ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Part-time and full-time schedules available. We invite you to visit our beautiful school!

Lisa's Part Time Childcare And Date Night Babysitting

I am a 35 year old stay-at-home, super mom to two amazing, energetic, artistic, outdoorsy little boys. I am currently watching two other children in the afternoons, but am looking to add another little one or two to our crew. I am open to part-time mornings, 2-3 days a week full days, or after-school care in my home, and date night babysitting, which I am willing to come to your home for. A closer look at me.... I worked in the medical field for several years but felt a strong pull to stay home after my first son was born. Recently I have become a Book Lady with Usborne Books & More, so I never have a shortage of new and exciting books to explore. Along with my love of books, I enjoy all things crafty, encourage the children I care for to use their imaginations, and know the importance of daily outside play. While I don't mind a movie day now or then, I really strive to reduce screen time and would rather find something creative to keep my kiddos entertained. I am a non-smoker, have professional training in CPR and First Aid, and am a proud member of Young Living. I use only their all-natural products to clean my home and frequently diffuse essential oils to add to my calm, pleasant environment. I look forward to the opportunity to see how I may be of help to your family.

Engaged, and personal child care provided in a small home setting. I'm a mother to 3 boys, age 16, 14, 9, who home schooled my older two boys until this year when they entered school as a Sophomore in High School and an eighth grader. I believe learning begins at birth and would provide opportunities and activities to stretch your child's mind at their level/age. I graduated from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois in 1988 with a Bachelor's in English Lit and French. Other than raising my own children, I was a nanny and babysat a friend's child in the late 1990's/early 2000's and am the eldest of 5 children.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Wadsworth, IL

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

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

When looking for a preschool near you in Wadsworth, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
