Kids' Work Chicago

read moreWe place a high value on making time for life's teachable moments. We allow students to ask questions, inquire, and be creative. Children take the time they need to explore, investigate, and learn in a memorable and lasting way. Developing confidence begins with the opportunity to do things for oneself. For this reason, we give children increasing opportunities for independence in performing self-help skills as they work to become more and more self-sufficient. Our staff lead by example, fostering the development of social emotional skills such as sympathy, teamwork, and problem-solving.
