Welcome Parents!

Our mission is to provide children with the opportunity to learn by doing - the key to developing an accurate curiosity about the world and becoming enthusastic life-long learners.

Our administrative team and long term early childhood teachers take great pride in our program and the excellent care and education we provide for our families.  Each and every day, our staff makes a conscientious effort to provide a kind and nurturing environment, with meaningful learning experiences.

We realize that you want only the best for your child and know that choosing an early childhood program is a very important decision. We can assure you that you will find excellence in every aspect of our care, programming, and facilities.  

While our website provides you with basic information, the quality and depth of our program is something you must see to appreciate, particularly the nature that our children experience every day. Our website pictures will provide you a nice preview, but most parents are amazed when they visit and see how our schools operate day to day.

We encourage you to visit our schools and personally see the outstanding care, curriculum, and facilities, both indoor and outdoors that are available for your child. You can contact us through this website or give us a call at 630-961-3950. We look forward to hearing from you!

Every Day is a Nature Day

Dear Families,

For our morning Nature Chat today, we continued our Buzzing Bees and Lively Ladybugs theme! We began by reviewing how these bugs pollinate plants and what happens during pollination. We actually discovered that bees carry pollen and nectar in a structure called a pollen basket! We worked together on a chart where we described what bees have, can do, and are. “Bees can make honey!” said one friend. Another child said, “Bees have stingers!” We spent the rest of our time out in our school’s yard looking for these pollinating insects in their natural habitat!

On an afternoon nature walk, we noticed seedlings growing in our pumpkin patch! We are very excited to see these plants continue to grow and eventually turn into pumpkins. We also found a very colorful new bug amongst our carrot plants called a Red-banded Leafhopper!

Until next time ~ Ms. Kristen
