About Us
Muddpies & Fireflies is owned and operated by Melissa Schau. Melissa has a B.A. from North Park University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has worked as a full-time nanny since 2001 and has provided part-time nanny services to hundreds of children in the Chicago area. Her experiences as a nanny inspired her to create an exceptional home daycare service.
Mission: To assist families in raising intellectual, compassionate, and confident children.
Vision: To meld the skills of a nanny with the socialization and learning of a preschool to create the highest quality home daycare service.
Values:
- I believe in early learning. The curriculum is designed to promote school readiness skills, develop good manners and social skills, and to foster creative play. Children are taught to identify and comprehend numbers and the alphabet. They learn to count and recognize basic shapes and colors. Through music, stories, games and daily activities, children build language skills that will assist them when they begin reading.
- I believe in the importance of raising children in a warm and nurturing environment. Children are encouraged in all their efforts and loved throughout the process.
- I believe in the difference organic food can make to the health of our children and the health of our environment. I strive to serve foods that are free from pesticides, hormones and other additives.
