Suburban Chicago Child Care

Where’s My Baby?

...and just what the heck are they doing all day? Child care isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity for many North Shore households. Whether it’s with a full-time nanny or au pair placed in your home, an after-school program or a bona fide child care center, there are any number of options to choose from when selecting a place and/or person to watch over your greatest assets.

Where to start? First things first – evaluate your family’s needs. Do you need child care coverage from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. five days a week? Or are you more likely to have hours that are more compatible with home care -- i.e., you are on frequent business trips.

Consider your child’s temperament. Is your child more comfortable in a small group setting, or does he or she prefer a gaggle of friends to choose from when it’s playtime?

What kinds of development would you like to see in your child? Are you looking for a learning-based, pre-kindergarten environment? Or would you prefer a more intimate setting?

Whatever your needs, the North Shore’s got you covered – just check our directory for a wide variety of choices, and take the time too check them out before making a decision that’s best for your family.
