The Family-Owned Difference

At EduCare, we are proud to be a family-owned and operated center, and we believe that this distinction is crucial in providing the best possible care and education for your child. Our commitment to our families and community is at the heart of everything we do.

Coosing a family-owned center for your child's care and education provides many advantages, including:

Personalized Care and Approach
Family-owned centers, like EduCare, excel at providing a customized experience that prioritizes the unique needs of each child and family. With smaller operations and closer relationships, we focus on fostering strong connections with children and parents, creating a warm and individualized environment that ensures every child receives the personalized attention they deserve
Warm, Community-Oriented Atmosphere
We strive to create a close-knit environment where families and staff form meaningful, lasting connections and truly feel like part of our family. Many families express to us their appreciation for the welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere, which aligns with their shared values and priorities.
Flexibility
Family-owned centers excel at offering adaptable policies and schedules, ensuring they can cater to the unique and diverse needs of families.
Consistency in Leadership
The active involvement of EduCare's owners provides stability and ensures that our mission and values are upheld. Families find reassurance in knowing that the leadership is deeply committed to the care and success of every child.
Trust and Connection
Deeply rooted in the local community, EduCare values its strong reputation and the power of word-of-mouth recommendations. We focus on building trust and nurturing genuine bonds with our families, creating long-lasting relationships that remain meaningful. Parents often return with their children, even after they’ve moved on to “big kid” school, reflecting the lasting impact of these connections.
Prioritizing Quality Over Quantity
At EduCare, our emphasis is on delivering exceptional care and education rather than pursuing scalability. This allows us to cultivate a more intimate and purposeful environment for children. We take pride in providing high-quality care, meaningful experiences, and a nurturing atmosphere filled with warmth, trust, and personalized attention—attributes that families deeply value during their child’s formative years.

Room to grow...

Why large classrooms are important

Unlike corporate centers that adhere solely to the minimum DCFS-required square footage per child, EduCare goes above and beyond by offering spacious classrooms that exceed these standards. This commitment to larger classroom sizes allows us to create a balanced and enriching environment where children can thrive, fostering their learning and development in an immersive and thoughtfully designed space.

Here are just a few benefits of providing larger classrooms

More space for Exploration
A larger classroom offers ample room for children to move freely, play, and engage in discovery. This encourages creativity and supports the inclusion of various activity stations, all while avoiding overcrowding.
Focused attention
In a larger classroom setting, educators can deliver personalized care and support tailored to each child’s unique needs, all while leveraging the ample space to foster an engaging and inclusive learning environment
Enhanced Learning Zones
The spacious classroom design enables the creation of well-structured, dedicated areas for various learning activities. This thoughtful setup helps maintain children's engagement and focus, ensuring an effective and enjoyable learning experience.
Reduced Overstimulation
The spacious design of our classrooms helps to minimize noise and distractions, fostering a tranquil and inviting environment where children can learn and socialize with ease.
Improved Teacher-to-Child Interaction
A larger classroom allows teachers to move freely, enabling dynamic engagement with the group while personalizing their approach to meet the individual needs of each child.
Safety and Comfort
Spacious classrooms provide ample personal space for children, helping to reduce the risk of accidents and create a secure, welcoming environment where they can thrive.
Versatility for Activities
Our large classrooms provide the flexibility to support a wide range of activities, from energetic play to calm, quiet moments, creating a well-rounded and enriching experience for every child.
