DIFFERENT IS AMAZING
Founded by an occupational therapist, we are excited to open a first-of-its-kind daycare for tots with special needs in Chicago's northwest suburbs. Our curriculum is rich with therapeutic supports to maximize your tot’s development. It is our hope that our students feel loved, welcomed, and understood, keeping his/her individual therapeutic goals at the forefront of everything we do. We invite you to join us at one of our many fundraising events to continue driving the mission forward!
MISSION STATEMENTS
Two of them! ...because we are here for the children AND their families.
To welcome children whose needs cannot be met by a traditional daycare and support them in a safe, engaging, and developmentally-appropriate environment.
To support parents and caregivers of children with medical and/or developmental needs by providing full-time childcare, allowing them to enter/re-enter the workforce, provide for their families, and contribute to the greater good of the community.
FOR EVERY PARENT who has been told by a daycare provider that his/her child is struggling in class.
FOR EVERY CHILD who longs for friendships but doesn't feel like he/she belongs.
FOR EVERY TEACHER who has wanted to help a child in need but couldn’t devote the time and attention due to having a large class.
FOR EVERY THERAPIST who has offered strategies to a daycare provider but was met with too many obstacles.
