Home Daycare for Matteson, IL Families
Cheerful Moments sits on Crosswind Drive in Richton Park, about five minutes from most of Matteson. For a lot of Matteson parents that is closer than the daycare centers along Lincoln Highway, and it is a left turn rather than a fight across Route 30 at 8am.
Same schools, same schedule
Matteson and Richton Park share Elementary School District 162 and Rich Township High School District 227, so the calendars our school-age children run on are the calendars your children run on. Institute days, early dismissals and breaks land on the same dates, which makes planning holiday cover straightforward.
It also means your child is likely to be in care with kids they will later sit next to in class. That is a real advantage of enrolling close to home rather than near your office.
Built for the commute
Matteson has its own Metra Electric station, and I-57 is right there. Drop-off here fits either route without doubling back, which matters far more on a Tuesday in February than it does on a tour in June.
What you get that a center cannot offer
One licensed caregiver, the same face every day, a state-capped group size, home-prepared meals and a Montessori-inspired program. No room transitions, no staff turnover mid-year, and no wondering which teacher had your child this afternoon.

- How far is Cheerful Moments from Matteson?
- Roughly five minutes' drive. We are at 5225 Crosswind Dr in Richton Park, just south of Matteson.
- Do you take children who attend Matteson District 162 schools?
- Yes. Richton Park and Matteson are both in District 162, so our before and after school care already runs on that calendar.
