Enrollment

Getting Started at Jazybe

How do I enroll my child?

Start by scheduling a visit so you can tour the home and meet our caregivers. After that, you’ll complete the enrollment forms, share your child’s routine, and review our program agreement together.

Is there a waitlist?

Availability varies by age group. We keep spots intentionally limited to maintain low ratios, so we recommend reaching out early — we’ll let you know current openings right away.

What does tuition include?

Tuition covers everything: CACFP-approved meals and snacks, all learning materials, bilingual instruction, daily progress updates, and developmental tracking. No hidden fees or add-ons.

Do you accept assistance programs?

Yes. Our EHS & HS bilingual programs are federally funded for income-eligible families. Contact us to check eligibility and learn which options apply to your situation.

Daily Care

Life Inside Our Home

What are your hours?

We operate Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Flexible scheduling options are available for families with non-standard work hours — just ask.

What about meals and snacks?

We participate in the CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program). Every meal and snack is nutritionally balanced, age-appropriate, and included in tuition.

Is the program really bilingual?

Yes — English and Spanish are woven into every song, story, and activity throughout the day, across all age groups. It’s not a separate class; it’s how we operate.

How will I know how my child's day went?

You’ll receive daily updates with photos and notes on meals, naps, activities, and milestones — so you’re always in the loop, even on busy days.

Safety & Health

Peace of Mind for Parents

Are you state licensed and insured?

Yes. Jazybe holds a continuous Illinois state childcare license and is fully insured. We renew annually and meet all inspection and safety requirements.

What is your sick-child policy?

To protect everyone, children with fevers or contagious symptoms should stay home until they’re well. We’ll share the full health guidelines during enrollment.

What are your caregiver-to-child ratios?

We intentionally keep our group small so every child gets real individual attention. Ratios meet or exceed state requirements for each age group.

Is the home child-proofed and secure?

Absolutely. Our home is fully child-proofed, with secure entry, age-appropriate spaces, clean rest areas, and dedicated zones for play, learning, and meals.

Still Have Questions?

We know choosing childcare is a big decision. Reach out anytime — or better yet, come visit and see our home for yourself.
