Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program

At Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program, we know that having your baby away from you is a very big deal. We assure you that we are here every step of the way and will help make the transition as smooth as possible. You’ll see that our infant room has a nurturing, "home away from home" look and feel.

The benefits of our Infant Care program include:
 

• One-on-one interactions with staff members (including holding and cuddling)
• Opportunities to exercise large and small muscles doing activities like rolling over, kicking, sitting, crawling, reaching, and grasping
• Adherence to Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Infant Feeding Patterns
• Diapers are checked regularly and changed as needed

When your children become toddlers, they reach an age where they’re always moving and becoming more independent and expressive as they explore their world. That’s why we ensure a safe and secure environment where they can freely move and explore. At Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program, our teachers will provide a routine of engaging learning opportunities to encourage important developmental skills such as problem-solving, coordination, and self-help.

The benefits of our Toddler Care program include:
 

• Opportunities to assist children in practicing and increasing their expressive language skills
• Daily activities to encourage large motor and fine motor skills including running, jumping, climbing, scribbling, puzzles, and playdough
• Adherence to Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Child Feeding Patterns
• Teachers can assist with toilet learning

At this stage in life, preschool children are exploring their environment, learning new skills, and starting to form friendships with their classmates. Our daily schedule at Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program is full of activities to stimulate their minds and keep them busy. You can be confident that we’ll help get your child ready for kindergarten.

• Literacy and language activities include language skills, spoken words, written words, group stories, and some sign language
• The children learn to take personal responsibility for their own physical needs and are encouraged to try new and challenging tasks
• Adherence to Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Child Feeding Patterns

Kidz Korner Daycare will participate in the Child Care and Adult food program with the Illinois State Board of Education. A form will be provided for you to fill out once your child starts. WE serve hot nutritious meals for breakfast and lunch, and two healthy snacks. Our food will be prepared on site and cooked daily at the proper temperatures, and milk will be purchased at assigned grocery stores. We can only accept food from home if it has a doctors statement explaining the reason, and that reason has to be due to food allergies of a certain type.
