William Gray Bilingual Playhouse, Chicago

Welcome to William Gray Bilingual Playhouse, our licensed home-based daycare and preschool in Chicago, IL. Our child care facility is near the William P Gray elementary school, in the Portage Park neighborhood (right off N Laramie Ave and W Addison St). My home is very accessible, as I’m just a minute away from W Irving Park Rd (route 19), less than 3 minutes away from N Cicero Ave (route 50) and also near the I-90 & I-94 intersection! Call or send us an email to schedule a visit, I’d love to meet your family! Through CareLuLu, you will get your $50 registration fee waived :)

I’m the owner and main caregiver of this bilingual Spanish child care and preschool program. I’m a mom of 3 and I have 14 years of early education experience. I run my daycare with my assistant who has 13 years of professional experience. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Technology while my assistant has a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. Your little one is safe with us since we’re both CPR & First-aid certified.

William Gray Bilingual Playhouse is open year-round from 6:00 am to midnight, Mondays through Friday (however, standard tuition is for standard hours only, please send an email to inquire about the extended care rates). I offer full-time and part-time care for children ages between 6 weeks and 6 years old. I provide lunch and snacks to all children in my care (included in the tuition). My daycare is a peanut and tree-nut free environment to prevent possible allergies.

This is a bilingual Spanish program, so we teach our young students the Spanish language in addition to English. I strive to make my daycare feel like a loving family home, and I treat children as my own. I use the Creative Curriculum (English / Spanish), so children learn through arts & crafts, and I also engage them in fun activities such as music and dancing. We do amazing projects and occasionally even organize small events for children and their parents!

To prevent any infectious diseases caused by viruses, I take the temperature of each child in the morning, and children must stay home if they exhibit any symptoms of illness. Parents should also text before picking up and only one parent at a time is allowed inside.
