Icare-The Best Family Daycare

Welcome to Icare - The Best Family Daycare!

At Icare, we believe in creating a warm and loving environment where families and professional caregivers come together to form a second home for your little ones. Our name, Icare, stands for Families in Relationships with Professional Care Providers, and we pride ourselves on being a community that partners, cares, trusts, and educates together!

A Nurturing Environment

Our daycare is filled with sunshine and friendly faces, making it a perfect place for children to learn and grow. We meet with parents every week after 6 PM to ensure open communication and collaboration. Our dedicated staff pays attention to every detail, just like a parent would, and we teach children in the most creative and fun ways imaginable.

Healthy Meals and Quality Learning

We provide nutritious meals that nourish not just the belly, but also the brain and soul! Our focus on independence and community helps children thrive and show their best selves. At Icare, we strive to make every child feel like it’s a “home away from home.” Our passionate team creates a safe and loving atmosphere where children can explore and learn.

Engaging Curriculum

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support the academic and social-emotional development of each child. Each week features a new theme, and we incorporate activities like puzzles during breakfast, circle time with songs and stories, and plenty of outdoor play. From art projects to baking and puppet shows, there’s always something fun happening!

We help children reach important milestones, whether it’s socially, physically, or even potty training. Our play-based curriculum emerges from the children’s curiosity and social interactions, allowing them to explore and make choices while also enjoying solitary playtime.

Music and Language

Music is a big part of our daily activities, and we also introduce Spanish language through songs, books, and games once a week. Our meals are all organic, delicious, and prepared daily with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Fun and Fitness

We believe in the importance of movement and mindfulness, which is why we offer a specialized children’s yoga program. This fun-filled journey ignites imagination, improves flexibility, and promotes mindfulness through playful poses and interactive activities.

Outdoor Adventures

At Icare, we think children should spend as much time outside as possible! Fresh air and natural surroundings help calm little minds and improve focus for indoor activities. Love and connection are essential for healthy brain development, and we aim to support every child’s growth to their fullest potential.

Exploring Chicago

We love to explore the vibrant city of Chicago! Our field trips to places like the Water Park, Petco, Cubs Park, Zoo, and Natural Museum enrich our curriculum and help children develop observation skills through sensory activities. These adventures expand their knowledge and awareness of the community around them.

A Supportive Learning Environment

Our teachers at Icare are always listening and observing to discover what sparks the children’s interests. We embrace the Reggio Emilia teaching style, creating a supportive environment that invites self-discovery. This knowledge helps us plan our curriculum and prepare engaging learning tools, all while focusing on developmental improvement.

Join us at Icare, where every day is a new adventure filled with love, learning, and laughter!
