Fall Child Care Opportunity
Are you looking for a warm, nurturing environment that will serve the needs of your child with love and respect? I offer a family-style approach to child care that is ideal for the healthy development of the child. My home is warm, inviting, and intentionally filled with simple, natural elements along with toys that might be found in your own home, that help to encourage children to create and form games and stories. My aim is to create a gentle place where play is at the core and children can imagine freely while feeling safe and comfortable. We will engage in playful activities both indoors and outside in all seasons, as well as follow a rhythmic weekly routine that will include free play as well as stories, singing, art, movement, spanish, baking and opportunities to share chores, like helping to prepare their snacks, setting the table and taking turns feeding a pet, all of which build responsibility, cooperation and a sense of caring for one's self, their fellow peers, all living creatures and harvest a respect for nature and the environment around them. I will only be preparing wholesome foods, fruits and vegetables that are organic. I can also accommodate families that have food allergies. I have 17 years experience in the child care field. My family has been a part of the Chicago Waldorf School community for the past two years. My personal goal is to start working toward a Lifeways certification. I have space available for 3-4 children, ages 3-6 yrs, starting in the Fall of 2013. If this sounds like an experience you would like for your child I would love to hear from you. You may reach me, Stephanie Probst, at 773-263-0592 or steffanya@hotmail.com.

Looking For a Lovely Home in the CWS Neighborhood?
Are you wanting to move this summer? The Depondts―a former long-time Waldorf family―have decided to sell their Rogers Park home at 1830 W. Greenleaf―from CWS it is a 5 min. drive, a 20 min. bike ride and a 30 min. walk! Also, the metra stop is 1/2 block from our front door and CTA is 4 blocks away. Our home was built in 1911 and we bought it in 1996 from the original owner. The plumbing and electric have been updated and insulation was blown in. The roof was a new tear-off when we bought it. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and an office―also front and back porches and a lovely soapstone woodburning stove as well as large front and back yards. Asking price: $499,000. Please email Nancy at ndepondt@comcast.net or call 773-680-8397 if you would like to take a look.

The job included interviewing Subject Matter Experts, working with them in the lab to understand a product or feature, using technical design specs/engineering materials as source for end-user procedural documentation, and attending field tests/installations for new software to validate my procedures.
