Lora Home Daycare is pleased to accept children from 6 weeks to 5 years. I am licensed by the State of Illinois to care for a total of 12 children. If you are interested in having your child become a part of our group you can contact us for more info.

When you first contact me it is typically a phone call or email. We go through general information about the days and hours of care that you need, the age of your child(to ensure that I will be staying within ratios) and any other general questions that you may have including rate information.

In order to give you accurate rate, we need to be provided with your child's date of birth and the child care schedule you will require. When providing your childcare schedule include the number of days you will need. if the days you will need will vary from week to week the highest number of days you might need will determine your base.

A drop- off and pick -up time for each day. make sure to consider and leave enough time for your commute and factor in time for possible traffic.

 Interview

After getting all the basic information about Lora Hugga Bunch Childcare you can set up an interview. We will schedule an hour block which will be scheduled during non-childcare hours. I schedule the first interview at a time when there are no children present for many reasons.

The first is so that I can focus on you and your family without any distractions. The most important reason is that the children are my first priority and their safety is my concern. I prefer to meet a family first before allowing them into my home around the children. 

During your interview,  I will give you a tour of my home and introduction to how I run my program. I love questions so please ask anything you have questions about. this is a chance for you to get to know me as a childcare provider better. 

All parents and/or legal guardians, as well as all children that may be enrolled, must be present during this time. this is an opportunity for me to get to know your children and family and discuss and confirm your childcare needs. it is also a great opportunity for your child to meet me and see the space so that if your child joins our group your child will already be familiar with me and surrounded in the hope that they will feel more comfortable. if all of the important decision makers and children cannot attend the scheduled interview I will reschedule the interview for a day when all can attend.

Note: I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having all the important decision-makers attend this interview. I Previously have had the unfortunate experience of having one adult attend the interview and absolutely love my daycare and sign a contract only to later friction with another adult who is not excited about the childcare situation. This makes for a  very stressful relationship with me and your family!! 

 

Return All requirements

You must return all of the necessary forms supplies, and payments before I can assume the responsibility of caring for your child. I will review your forms and if everything is complete your child will be ready to join our group.
