Affordable Child Care-$65/Week

Searching for an affordable child care facility that is right under your nose hairs but due to prejudgments it’s often overlooked and undervalued.  With so many daycares labeled as expensive, you get lost in the unknown possibility of the existence of cost-effective child care services near you.  While many don’t understand you pay for the expenses rather past or present.  Building cost, employees, education, taxes, food reimbursement, supplies, insurance, etc.  The more expenses the child care provider obtains the higher the daycare cost. With that being said seeking authentic child care providers, who keep their expenses low, not living above their means, and work for themselves instead of relying on others is accessible. Opening sites in locations that are less expensive as opposed to overpriced and fancy. This is how our daycare facility birthed the child care assistance program. We focused on a safe environment that is designed & created for children to socialize in small settings. We offer flexible hours and transportation with charge. We are state license, with competitive prices, e-learning compatible, and offer various age-appropriate activities. The program is arranged to cater to working parents who can’t afford steep child care prices while on the waiting list for state child care funding. Working parents aren’t considered as priority directing them to an extensive waiting list. Remaining on the resting list (what I like to call it) for as long as a couple of years before they are called for an appointment. Making it impossible to keep employment active due to outrageous child care costs. Depending on non-reliable family & friends becomes slim to none. Our facility understands the importance of safety & modest cost for both the parent and the provider. The child care assistance program is created for children 2 years and up, babies not included, $65/week, no more than 40 hours Monday-Friday, excludes weekends and maintains the same shift. In addition, incorporating a multiple child discount. Slots are limited to 1st come 1st served with proper documentation. If interested please don’t hesitate to call & take advantage of the awesome opportunity that supports you at 219-949-6574.

A Unique 24Hour Daycare

A 24hour daycare is a childcare business that is license through your state to nurture children any day or time of the week. Many believe in view of a 24hour daycare doesn’t operate with an open/close time. This is not true. It depends on the parents scheduling enrolled at the facility that determines daily/weekly open and closed times. Even though the daycare is considered a 24hour organization the state still limit the amount of children the facility can care for. Example our site is licensed for 16 children. Our entire daycare is dedicated to observe children by giving more space and opportunity. The fact that no one lives at our business site plays a big part in our child to staff ratio. Most family child care homes, the provider, and their family live onsite with the daycare business. On a regular business day our daycare site can care for 16 children per shift with the correct amount of staffing to approve the ratio.

Not all daycares run their 24hour facility the same. We specialize in structure and organization never inconveniencing any parents enrolled. Nor do we accept all parents. Parents worst nightmare is being crippled in life by not having proper childcare in order. The danger of getting hired for a new job position and can’t accept it due to lack of or don’t have support from family/friends.  We do not take on more than we can chew. Unlike some facilities approving all parents with lack of staffing with results of tardiness or call offs. Parents choose 24hour daycares due to traditional daycares 6am-6pm Monday-Friday not able to welcome all shifts.

In order for our site to approve parent’s enrollment we must have other children on shift to bring in enough income to satisfy the daycare expenses. What does that mean? If we have one child on shift we will explore other childcare alternatives for the parent to seek affordable accommodations. Accepting one child for the amount of $25 or less to care for 8 hours or more will put daycare in a deficit. It is our obligation to provide cost-effective childcare by not allowing our daycare to fall through the cracks due to greed.

We additionally care for children age’s 6weeks-13years of age. Making it convenient for parents with large families to attend one location. We provide after school care assisting elementary children with homework assignments. Our facility is depicted as ice cream with different toppings to entertain your taste buds! Believe me when I say there’s nothing better after locating an awesome 24hour childcare establishment that is mind blowing!
