A place for everyone....

I am in a safe environment that is licensed by DCFS, including clearance from the state fire marshal and local health department.  My setting is secure with a keyed entry system and surveillance.  I am cared for by experienced teachers, educated in early childhood and trained in first aid and CPR.  I am given a reasonable rate for quality care and may receive family discounts or apply for financial assistance.  I eat nutritional snacks and meals and sometimes get to help in the preparation.  I participate in developmentally appropriate activities that meet my individual needs.  I get to play outdoors daily, weather permitting.  I can come a few days or everyday.  When I go to school in the Coal City or Saratoga School District, I can ride the bus to and from the center.  I am treated as an individual.  I am special.  I am loved.

Butterflies
This classroom is where our 4 – 5 year old children are getting ready for school.  The environment is challenging and children are encouraged to use you self-help skills such as putting on their own coats and shoes.  This curriculum is based on kindergarten readiness skills and is ended with a graduation ceremony to show what they have learned.
