    Nurturing, passionate, and highly educated to provide a memorable learning experience.
  • The Shining Stars Early Learning Center caregivers are nurturing, passionate, and highly educated in the field of early childhood education. We provide a memorable learning experience at our preschool in Algonquin.

    Shining Stars Early Learning Center has highly qualified and fully trained staff.  All of our teachers hold a Bachelors or Master’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and many of our co-teachers hold an Associate’s degree in the same field.  Our childcare providers are all background checked and CPR/ First Aid qualified with your child’s safety in mind. 

    As well, each teacher is required to participate in 15 hours of professional development programs per year. The wide array of child activities we provide are boundless, making our educational curriculum unique. We couple that with our state of the art facility and a low teacher to student ratio, which allows us to meet the highest safety standards possible for your child.

  • Shining Stars Daycare In Algonquin Is Good For Your Child’s Social

  • Parents tend to feel guilty about enrolling their children at daycare centers. While this is normal, daycares in Algonquin provide wonderful opportunities for children including social interactions with other people. This also allows parents to run errands smoothly and have time for themselves. 

    Studies show that children suffered less emotional, conduct, relationship, and attention problems when they attended high-quality daycare for at least one year. On the other hand, children had more difficulty coping when they were watched over by a parent or a babysitter. 

    Moreover, the author of the study suggests that regular interaction with daycare staff, following rules and instructions, and getting stimulus from playing in a conducive environment all contribute to the wellbeing of the child. 

    Children can greatly benefit from our preschool programs at Algonquin at Shining Stars Daycare. These include educational and nutritional components from our highly-trained educational professionals who excel in early childhood care.

    • We appreciate so much for the extraordinary care you provide to our children. The frequent updates at the end of each day help us understand our kids and their little joys throughout the day. We can count on every teacher to know all about our children, which is amazing.
