KiddieJunction Ed. Institute has been in business since 1983 and has been accredited for the past 10 years by the National Assoc. of Child Care Professionals. Kiddie Junction is one of the only private child care centers in IL. who ahve had a working Parent Teacher Organization for the the past 20 years that keep families involved in all activities.Kiddie Junction has created a program tailored to meet the needs of each child. We emphasize learning by doing hands-on activities and exploration. Daily lesson plans also reflect all of the areas that are important in your child's growth. Our goal is to meet the developmental needs and objectives of each child. Therefore, our teachers use an evaluation tool to help track a child's progress with each parent. Kiddie Junction offers open and honest communication with parents in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. We have an open door policy and welcome parents to stop in and visit any time. Parents are given individual reports prepared by Teachers giving insight into the activities, behavior, eating habits, toilet schedule and nap times for each child. We are open 12 months a year with convenient hours for working parents. Half-days are available on a limited basis. We also encourage Parents to become involved with our Parent Teacher Organization which has guided our center for over 20 years. Kiddie Junction offers a summer camp program "For Kids Only" with 3 acres of land and an Olympic size swimming pool for children ages 5-14. See our camp page for more details.
