| When looking for daycare, most parents would agree, they want their child to feel loved and valued. They want to know their child is in safe hands. They don't want their child in front of a TV all day, but be involved in constructive and educational activities. As a former 'working mom' myself, I was frequently frustrated with some of the issues that you may have felt. When I opened my own daycare in 1998, I wanted to fashion it with all I felt my child and I didn't have with child care. You should be able to feel you are leaving your child without worry. No one can ever replace you in your child's life. I am here for you and for your child when you can't be. I will treat your child with sincere love and dignity and will help guide, nurture, and teach them as they grow. I strive to be the best child care provider I can be, and always try to find ways to improve. I welcome open communication with parents. If there is something you'd like your child to learn while in my care, I'd like to hear it. I provide a Safe, Healthy, and Loving Day Care Home that supports the physical, social, intellectual and emotional needs of your child. I believe children need to be allowed to be curious about the world around them within safe boundaries. They also need to feel loved and valued. Children are never left unsupervised, and I don't let the TV 'babysit' your child. In fact, your child (unless school age during younger children's naptimes) will not be watching ANY television while in my care. Instead, children are encouraged to participate in constructive activities. I believe children have a great potential for learning, but are too often not given the opportunity. I offer a lot of learning opportunities, without overwhelming the children, and still give them time to play and just be kids; therefore, we have a semi-structured schedule, with both learning time and time to just be a kid! I am a very energetic person who has a deep love for children and for teaching. I'm the mother of two grown children. While I have ran home day care for over 19 years, I started 'babysitting' at an early age and have been around children my entire life. I have some home school experience, as I taught my own daughter preschool and kindergarten and my son Jr. High. I am a former pediatrics dental assistant (12 yrs) and nursing student. I am also CPR and First Aid trained (which I keep current). I have taken advantage of many training programs including the VIRTUS safe environment program, S.T.E.P.S. and LOVE AND LOGIC. I also take several hours of nutrition, safety, and child development classes per year. Of course, the classes I have had in the past, or will have in the future, will not effect my time away from your child. I take all my classes in the evenings or on weekends, so I can continue to provide very reliable care to your child. I would love to help teach and love YOUR child |
