Our Activities
DAILY SCHEDULE
We keep all of our activities as planned as scheduled; however, children are offered choices and plenty of solitary play-explore time. This refer to the Development of the Whole Child.
MUSIC ENRICHMENT
Music is completely integrated into the Icare curriculum. We Love to Dance, Skip and Sing! Teachers engage students in singing songs and music based movement throughout the day.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
We have Spanish Language Once a Week through Songs/Books/Games. Our children come with cultural differences to share with each other, as many of our families speak languages other than English. Our programs are a place where every child is welcome and appreciated. Our multicultural daycare and many spoken languages give us learning opportunities that aren’t found anywhere else.
ORGANIC MENU
We provide delicious (you’ll wish you could eat here too) all organic food and organic snacks. Daily prepared, seasonal, fresh. Additional Eating AL FRESCO (in the open air) is a Joy!
YOGA/MINDFULNESS
Our society has become quiet complex. The path of Yoga moves us toward simplicity and the ordinary. As our heart-mind quits down and focuses on one thing, we cultivate an inner orientation that develops contentment and spiritual maturity.
Yoga will help Children to Grow Stronger, more Flexible and Fearless, both on and off the mat!
OUTDOOR PLAY
Our belief is that children should be outside every day for as much time as possible. Exercise, fresh air, and natural surroundings provide a natural calming influence and enable better concentration and attention for the inside parts of the day.
LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP
Love and connection are essential to a child’s healthy brain development. With Love, our primary objective is to support every child’s grow, to the maximum of his/her potential! By establishing a climate in which children can feel comfort, security, acceptance and trust, and by presenting many opportunities for children to be successful, we-all together, aim to assist in developing a fundamental sense of self-worth.
FIELD TRIPS
We Love to explore Chicago! Purpose of our Field trips are to enrich and expand the curriculum, strengthen observation skills by immersing children into sensory activities, increase children’s knowledge in a particular subject area and expand children’s awareness of their own community. Water Park, Petco, Cubs Park, Zoo and Natural Museum are some of our favorite locations!
