How part-time works

Part-time means full days, just fewer of them. Pick the number of days that fits your family's schedule, and your child keeps the same set days each week so their routine stays steady. Many centers offer no part-time, or only fixed Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu options. We try to work with the days you actually need.

Part-time is offered for every age group, from infants through junior kindergarten. Part-time spots are based on classroom availability.

An Early Start to School Success

Utilizing the Experience Preschool Curriculum, our educators develop research-based learning environments designed around rich monthly themes. Early reading, writing, and math readiness skills are introduced through hands-on art, music, games, and playful manipulatives that support growth across all areas of development.

Learning Without Tears is also introduced at this point, providing additional early exposure to the building block of future learning.

Experience Our Modern, Hands-On Learning Spaces
Since we are private center and serve a high risk population of infants and children who are not of the age to vaccinate against many communicable diseases, we strictly follow the DCFS requirements for the DHS Health form to indicate that all students and staff have received the immunizations required by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Therefore we are not able to make an exemption on vaccine requirements for our students.

All students (including international students) are required to be seen by a doctor in the state of Illinois and have the DHS Health Form be completed by a doctor licensed in the state of Illinois.

Kids Work Chicago — Part-Time FAQ

Part-time questions

Is part-time full days or half days?
Full days, 7:30am to 6:30pm. Part-time means fewer days each week, not shorter days.
How many days a week can I choose?
You can choose 4, 3, or 2 days per week, and your child keeps the same set days each week so their routine stays steady.
How does part-time scheduling work?
Part-time spots depend on classroom availability, so the more flexible you can be on days, the easier it is to find a fit. Some day combinations open up more often than others. If you start on one schedule but have an ideal one in mind, we make a note and offer it to you if it becomes available. Current families have priority for openings.
Can I start part-time and add days later?
Yes. Many families ease into childcare by starting at 2 or 3 days and adding more as their child grows. Because current families have priority for openings, starting part-time puts you in a good position to expand your days when you are ready, as availability allows.
Is part-time available for my child's age?
Yes. Part-time is offered for every age group, from infants through junior kindergarten, based on classroom availability.
Does part-time include the same meals and activities?
Yes. Part-time families get the same organic meals, weekly enrichment, and curriculum as our full-time families.
