I've always wanted to live in Chicago, and now that I'm a mother of two, a 3 1/2 yr old by and a 12 month old girl I'm more less concerned about daycare facilities that provide 24 hr service. My new job with the state is 8-5 and I attend law school classes from 6-9. Are there any 24 hr daycares in the Cook County area. I plan on receiving the Child Care Assistance waiver so cost is not a problem!!! I ust want a safe environment for my children to earn and grow!

That is 14 hours per day in daycare assuming only a 1/2 hour commute. If you have an hour commute, you are talking 15 hours per day. While apparently the limit is 18 hours a day in Illinois, I think it is outrageous for a child to be in care that long. Then you wake them up to go home at 9:30 pm or 10:00 pm and put them back to sleep? You spend NO time with them at all?

When I worked in daycare, we had a 10 hour limit per day for care. I am not sure when this changed, but it apparently has.

For a 12 month old and a 3.5 year old, perhaps you need a nanny so they can stay in your home.
