Frequently asked questions
What ages do you take?
From 6 weeks to 5 years, in four rooms: infants and toddlers, twos, threes and fours.
Are you licensed by the state?
Yes. Pudding is a center licensed by DCFS, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The license number is at the foot of every page.
Can you help me with state child care assistance?
Ask us whether assistance is open this month. We tell you what we know and go through the steps with you, in Spanish or English. You apply to the state, and the assistance page explains how.
Does anyone speak Spanish?
Yes. Olimpia, Yarely and Marcial speak Spanish and English with families. The forms and pages on this site are in both languages too.
How does tuition work?
It depends on your child's age, the schedule and the days a week. We give you the figures in writing at the tour, for the schedule you choose.
Can I see the center before I decide?
Yes. Book a tour and come with your child. It takes about half an hour and you can ask anything. If you like, bring a relative or a friend.
How many children are there at a time?
The center cares for up to 80 children, from 6 weeks to 5 years, across four rooms.
What if the room is full?
We put your family on the waitlist. When a place opens, we call whoever has waited longest first.
