An Extension of Home

The Kids’ Work family hopes to provide your family with exceptional small-group care in a warm and loving atmosphere. Ours is a calm and peaceful environment where you and your baby will feel right at home. We feature safe, clean, and well organized classrooms that will become your baby’s home away from home.

Warm and Loving Caregivers

Choosing that special person who will care for your child while you’re working is a big decision. Kids’ Work understands the importance of finding not only qualified and talented caregivers, but those who love and adore working with young children and their families.

NIPSA Accreditation – a Mark of Excellence

Kids’ Work Chicago Riverview is proud to be accredited by NIPSA (National Independent Private School Association). The organization surveyed our school in 16 different areas, from philosophy, curriculum, organization, safety, and staff to student services, parent community, our building, finances, and more. The visiting delegates were so impressed with the teachers and their interactions with the children, the parents’ positive reviews of the school, and our “meticulously maintained early childhood program.” We are so proud and so grateful for our Kids’ Work community and are so happy to hold this mark of distinction!

Building a Strong Foundation

A baby’s first year is packed full of developmental milestones. Group care provides ample social interaction while naturally encouraging babies to grow socially, physically, and cognitively. Our thoughtfully planned learning environments accommodate each baby’s individual needs while providing ample opportunity for growth and learning.

Reliable Caregivers and Added Support

Our classroom communities are comprised of core reliable staff members who bond and develop strong relationships with both parent and baby. In order to provide added support and opportunity for interaction, it is also our goal to maintain addition support staff throughout the building each day.

Matching Your Family Routine

Young children learn to trust the world around them when their expressed needs are attended to with love and sensitivity. Our younger infants are fed, changed on demand, and put down for naps in accordance with each family’s personal plan. Older infants are comfortably eased into a more structured day as they prepare to transition into a toddler environment.

Clear and Consistent Communication

We understand that parents want to feel connected, and well informed. Each baby’s day is clearly documented and shared via the Brightwheel app. Teachers post information about daily routines, and share fun photos and notes to give a clear picture of the day’s activities.

Fresh Air and Outdoor Time

We value the benefits of getting outside on a regular basis for fresh air and stimulation. Weather permitting, our babies head outside each day for walks around the neighborhood in our safe and secure strollers.

Added Support for Families

You can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that we have the basics covered! We provide complimentary diapers, wipes, ointments, and sunscreen so your baby stays clean, dry, and protected throughout the day.

Keeping Your Little One Safe with Our Security

We maintain safe and secure facilities with locked exterior doors, video monitoring systems, and the KISI Entry System which limits building access to authorized staff and family members only.

Language Learning Boosts Their Communication Skills

Your baby’s teachers incorporate baby sign language into daily activities to help them communicate their needs even before they’re verbal. Weekly Music Class with WeeGroove and weekly Spanish Class with Ms. Yesenia introduce vocabulary that boosts their cognition now and communication skills for life.

Amazing Perks That Support Your Family

Our goal is to provide an incredible level of care for your family, so we provide:

diapers and wipes for your baby
lotion and sunscreen
weekly enrichment classes (music and Spanish classes)
an infant meal program including purees and catered meals (for a small additional fee).

These perks allow you to spend more quality time with your child instead of coordinating all items to pack for your baby each day!

Questions Parents Ask About Our Infant Program

What does a typical day look like for an infant at Kids' Work?

Every infant’s day at Kids’ Work is built around their unique schedule. Teachers follow parent-provided routines for feeding and napping to support a smooth transition between home and school. Playtime is enriched with curriculum activities, infant sign language to boost communication skills, and weekly Wee Groove music and Spanish classes. Weather permitting, infants enjoy outdoor walks along the river path in our six-seat stroller.

How does Kids' Work support new families with scheduling and logistics?

Kids’ Work offers full-time and part-time care options to match where your family is. The center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 6:30pm with flexible drop-off and pick-up. Diapers, wipes, Aquaphor, and sunscreen are all provided, and infants six months and up can join our catered meal plan so families have one less thing to pack each morning.
