🌟Our Mission
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, our mission is to nurture the whole child; mind, body, and spirit, through love, learning, and faith.
We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment where every child can think, learn, and grow with confidence. Through our faith-based, STEM-infused curriculum, we empower children to explore their curiosity, embrace their creativity, and develop the character and compassion needed to shine bright in school and in life.
We believe every child is a promise, every family is a partner, and every moment is an opportunity to build a lifelong foundation of excellence. 💜✨
Our Infant Care
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, we understand that the first year of life is sacred and foundational. Our infant program is built on trust, consistency, and love, providing a warm and nurturing space where babies can thrive physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Our caregivers form meaningful bonds with each child through gentle routines, responsive care, and engaging sensory experiences that encourage curiosity and connection. We support each milestone, tummy time, sitting, crawling, and first steps—within a peaceful environment that honors the rhythm and comfort of every baby.
Parents are partners in this journey. Through daily communication, photo updates, and shared developmental goals, families can feel confident knowing their little ones are safe, loved, and growing in a faith filled environment.
Preschool Program (Ages 3–5)
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, our Pre K program is thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child, academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.
We provide a warm, faith centered learning environment where children build confidence, curiosity, and creativity through hands on exploration, early literacy, and foundational STEM experiences. Our curriculum encourages problem solving, teamwork, and kindness while preparing children for a smooth transition into kindergarten and lifelong learning.
Each day blends faith based values with purposeful play, science discovery, art, and language development, helping every child develop strong character, independence, and a love for learning.
School-Age Program (Ages 6–12)
Our School Age Program is more than supervision. It is a structured, faith filled environment where older children can thrive, build confidence, and grow as leaders.
Designed to support working families, this program balances academics, creativity, and character development in a safe and welcoming space. Children participate in homework support, STEM projects, art, music, and community service activities that encourage teamwork and responsibility.
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, we guide each child to discover their strengths, use their voice, and develop the leadership skills needed to make a positive impact in their school and community.
STEM + Faith-Based Education
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, we believe children should be free to explore the wonders of science while staying rooted in faith and purpose.
Our unique approach integrates hands on STEM learning with spiritual lessons that inspire curiosity, creativity, and compassion. Through engaging experiences in science, technology, engineering, art, and math, children learn to ask questions, experiment, and solve problems while also discovering how their gifts can be used to help others.
By blending innovation with faith based values, we cultivate both critical thinkers and compassionate leaders, young learners who are confident in their minds, grounded in their faith, and motivated to make a positive difference in the world.
Inclusive Care for All
At Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, we believe every child is created with purpose and potential. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and celebrated.
We proudly welcome and support children with diverse developmental, behavioral, and learning needs, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, and language delays. Our inclusive approach ensures that each child receives personalized, compassionate care within a loving and structured environment.
Our educators receive ongoing training and professional development through Illinois Workforce Grants and early childhood inclusion programs, equipping them to adapt learning experiences that meet every child where they are.
By combining faith based principles, STEM exploration, and social emotional learning, we create a setting where all children can thrive, discover their gifts, and grow together in understanding and kindness.
