“My goal [is] to make the children feel at home, keep them safe, teach the life skills through activities, and provide healthy food as I did with my own children.” Mazhar, Owner & Provider

A home, not a classroom

I'm Mazhar. I've run Little Bird out of my own home in Skokie since 2009, because I wanted to give children the comfort of home while they learn and play.

Read our story

Amazing, experienced and caring in home child care. We feel very fortunate to have found this day care. It is warm and welcoming. They have created an environment that is so conducive to learning and playtime. My son just loved it there. A sincere thank you to Mahzar for watching our son.
