All parents want to make sure their children are being taught and looked after by responsible adults. On this page you have the opportunity to meet my family and me.

Staff Credentials
 
I have been licensed since September 1996.  I enjoy working with children and decided to start my own home-based day care.  I am the mother of three children and the oldest of six. I have served on the board of the Will County Child Care Association, worked with Girl Scouting for over six years and am affiliated with Child Care Resource and Referral. 
 
I have a bachelors degree in Business.  I have taken some child development classes and continually attend conferences and seminars on child care. 

I have two teen age children, a 16 year old girl and a 12 year old boy,  who often help out after school.  They are very good with the children and have grown up in my day care.  I also have a daughter in college, who visits us from time to time.
 
My husband can also be found with the children.  He works nights and is home during the day.  He is generally found playing with the kids in the morning and loves to give out morning snack.

Staff Training

DCFS requires 12 hours of training per year.  I have met and exceeded those hours each year, since I have been in business.
I am current in my CPR and First Aid training and renew this each year.

Our Animals

While we love children here, we also love animals. Dakota is a 12 year old lab.  He is big but very friendly.  You can often find him in the middle of the kids at reading time.
 
Lucy is a 4 year old basset hound.  She also has grown up with the day care.  She is very gentle and loves to play with the kids or curl up by them during nap time.
 
We do have three cats, who just kept adopting us.  They are all front declawed. They will often sit and watch the children but can mostly be found sleeping in a cubby hole.
 
All animals are current on their shots.
