Looking for Daycare in Home or Daycare Centers

what times are you looking for care?

Hi H.. My name is A. R. and I live in Batavia. I am listed on Mamasource if you would like to take a look at my referrences. Welcome to my home daycare. I have been doing daycare from my home since 2002. I am licensed through DCFS and am a member of the YWCA Child Care Resource and Referral Program. Before beginning daycare I was an elementary school teacher. I graduated from National-Louis University with a degree in education and a concentration in child psychology and development. My education and background allow me to provide quality childcare and appropriate activities for young children.

In my home I will foster an environment of respect, kindness, physical activity and learning. Each day we will learn to share and get along with others. I strongly believe that children learn through activity. I provide opportunities each day for children to cultivate their thirst for knowledge. I will provide a safe home for your child with kindness, acceptance, learning and fun!!

I currently have openings for two to three full or part time children. I can take “drop in’s”, before & after school, teachers children that are off in the summer or year round children. I live in the Sugar Grove area (60554) right on the border of Aurora. I am located by Galena Blvd & Hwy 56 or Orchard Rd with easy access to I-88. I am about a mile down from Blackberry Farm. Open M-F from 7:30-6. Earlier or later times might be available. Email me for prices.

I love children and I also have a 15-month-old daughter. I have worked in day care centers before and taken a CPR course. I have a fully stocked first aid kit / fire extinguishers and emergency plans in place for fire or weather related problems. I believe that an in home daycare has more benefits then a day care center. I think it is important to be able to give children as much one on one care as possible. I think smaller settings help in the development of young minds. I only plan on having three children plus my own which makes four. The children will still get the interaction with other children but they won't be fighting for attention like they would be at a bigger daycare center. I love the outdoors and we have two parks within walking distance from my house one being right out my back door. There are walking paths with lots of nature to look at. I think it is very important to let kids be kids. We can make snowmen in the winter and play outside (weather permitting). In doors we have lots of learning toys to play with, activities, healthy breakfast, snacks and lunches. We have nap/rest time where the children that take naps can get their sleep and the older children can nap, lay quietly or play a quiet game. I do NOT believe in spanking. I think a time out in tune to the child’s age is appropriate. I know to get down to the child's level and talk to them eye to eye. I will ask them what the problem is that they are having and teach them how to resolve any problems. I think manners are a very important quality for children to learn because it will help them for the rest of their lives. When children learn to be respectful of each other they carry that for a lifetime. I think the most amazing thing to see is a child learning new things each day. I would love to be a part of that with all of the children I watch. I know the feeling of having to be away from my daughter and working full time. I want to be sensitive to other parents in that area because I know how hard it is to leave your child(ren) with someone else all day. I will treat them as if they were my own. You will get daily updates on your child. My home is only three years old and in a quiet / safe subdivision. If you would like to learn more or see my house please let me know. Thank you
