A little bit about about me… I’m Katie and I’m a brand new Mom to a sweet baby girl that was born in August. I have 6 years experience working with children, most of which is working with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my BA in Applied Psychology with an emphasis in developmental psychology. I was a nanny for several years and also worked at a daycare in the West Loop where I was an infant teacher. I also did an internship with a preschool in Bridgeport. I’m CPR certified & the daycare is in the process of being licensed by DCFS. I will have a maximum of 8 children so we can ensure each child receives the proper care and attention. We will be accepting children between the ages of 6 weeks and 2 years of age. The day care is Read more located on the first floor of our residence with a lot of open space and a variety of toys for the children to play with. I plan to spend as much time outdoors with the children, weather permitting as well as trips to McKinley Park. I provide healthy meals & snacks using whole foods. I don’t believe children should eat too much processed food or juices. My teaching philosophy is that I help children learn through play and by exploring their environment. Under my care, daily routines incude: daily story time, listening to music and dancing, puzzles, imagination play and art projects using paint and crayons. Snuggle Bear Day Care is eco friendly. We encourage the use of towels instead of paper towels. Furniture is made of natural materials, no laminate plywood. I also teach the children about recycling and sometimes use recycled materials to make art projects. Please call or e-mail me with any questions.
