Founded in 2024 by Kelli and Mike Figurski, we’ve made it our mission to partner with our families to deliver the best for their little ones. The true meaning of “family business” is the bonds we make with all our families. We want your children to succeed and we will do whatever we can to help you achieve that goal. After years of working in the corporate environment of child care, I have implemented the structure needed for your child to grow and learn in a consistent and nurturing environment while instilling the qualities of a family run business that recognizes and retains the amazing teachers that make everything possible. Children are our passion - We believe in the importance of developing a child’s love of learning. Watching children’s excitement as they accomplish each stage of their development and build confidence in themselves is the most rewarding feeling. Children are our future and we are committed to helping them become successful. Education is our specialty - Beginning in infancy, the foundation of education begins with quality care. Our high level of curriculum is in line with the state of Illinois and will help prepare your child for success after preschool.
