Learning through Exploration
Little Makers builds on children's natural curiosity through STEAM learning, creating an environment where young children develop a foundation in problem solving and scientific thinking. Building on children's interest is the most natural way to engage them and keep them looking for the why. When children find out they can ask questions and discover answers on their own they will continue to want to investigate.

The Need for STEAM Learning in Early Childhood Education
The World Economic Forum recently published a report predicting 65% of children entering school today will work in jobs that don't yet exist.
As a former CPS teacher and mom of three, I've seen firsthand that most schools and daycares don't invite kids to ask questions. Curiosity, real exploration, and questioning are treated like distractions.
Our kids need learning that sparks wonder, lets them ask big questions, and helps them grow. Little Makers gives curious young minds a head start in preparing for education and career success in a future increasingly dominated by STEAM.

“Our son Jameson is thriving at Little Makers under the guidance of Frances and her staff. In our previous school, he showed little interest in learning his alphabet or numbers, but with Frances, he has made incredible progress and is always excited to show us what he has learned. Little Makers' focus on STEM curriculum and exposure to a wide variety of enrichments has been the perfect environment for our growing little one. Most importantly, Little Makers is a family and we are so happy to be part of it.”

"Our son is THRIVING at Little Makers. We couldn’t be happier. Frances’ play-based educational approach means that learning is fun! Frances is a former CPS educator, holds a masters degree in early childhood education, and deeply understands child development. Because of all of the learning at daycare, we refer to it as “school.” Our son just turned 3 learned all the letters of the alphabet at school, can verbally spell his name, can count to over 20, loves to draw, measure ingredients for baking, build intricate towers, and has developed good age-appropriate social skills."

“We absolutely love Little Makers Daycare. Even as a baby, our son is learning STEAM skills like painting, how wheels work, how different textures feel, and more. Learning STEAM concepts is growing his curiosity…and is fun! The smile on his face at drop off and pick up says it all. He’s happy and thriving. We’re thankful that we found such a warm, caring and enriching environment for our son.”
