About Me

Hi!  I love spending my days playing and learning with children.

I left my professional career behind after I had my daughter in 5 different daycares by the time she was only 2 years old!  I knew there had to be a better way to care for children than I was experiencing out there.  Since then I have been very happy loving and nurturing kids and I have never looked back to my old life on the "fast track".   In my family-like environment I enjoy helping children learn life skills such as sharing, manners, kindness and respect and friendship.

Philosophy

Children can sense when they are loved, and appreciated.  They need a space where they feel safe and secure, too.  Learning comes as a natural by-product of being in a secure setting, where a child can learn and grow while having fun.  I provide an opportunity for your child to develop socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually, all while enjoying their day here with their friends.

Experience

I am a 47 year old mother to 4 daughters, one still in elementary school, and a grandmother to a 3 year old, and have many years of childcare experience.  It's what I love.  I'm licensed, and certified in CPR and First Aid.  I take part in the USDA meal program through the Heartland Family Services Program, which ensures healthy hot and cold meals.  I have many excellent references.

Early Learning Program

Many of the children here do not go to a formal preschool.  Here we enjoy learning letters, colors, numbers, opposites, etc,.  We cover all the preschool materials in a fun, playful way.

Policies

I have a policy/guidelines  printout that I give out while a family is here for their initial visit.

Additional information:

My home is 2 houses away from the Chapel Hill Park and we love to go there.  My home's interior play area is large with lots of natural light.
