Home >> Family Daycare
Parents agonize over the decision to leave their child in another person's care when they go to work. Thousands of choices for child care abound from preschools to institutional day care facilities. A more intimate option is a home daycare, also called family daycare. These take place inside homes rather than businesses, and more closely resemble play groups of other young children from the surrounding neighborhood. Unlike commercial centers or preschools, home child care offers a smaller child to "teacher" ratio, enabling each child to receive the highest level of care possible without his parents.
ChildcareCenter.us has a listing of over 157,397 home daycares, with about 10 new providers added to our database daily. Click on the Map below to find a Home Daycare in your state.
When researching whether to place a child with a home daycare, the parents should check their state's guidelines governing the licensing of family daycare providers. Not all states require the providers to hold a license, and some states only require a license for providers caring for six or more children. Looking into the state's regulations and then following up by researching the credentials of the home child care provider will ensure the safety of the child.
Parents should also know that many family daycare providers participate in state subsidies program which can make paying for the cost easier for those short on funds.

Exclusively Kids Family Daycare- Brenda Brucker
Holland Patent, NY 13354
(315) 206-7005
-
Description:
My daycare "Exclusively Kids Family Daycare" opened in 1999 in Lowville, New York. My vision for the daycare was to provide the best care to children and families in a safe and loving environment. I believe children learn through both structured activities and play.
Throughout my career I was able to collaboratively work with many agencies to enhance the lives of children and families such as Early Intervention of Lewis County, Department of Social Services, Community Action Planning Council of Jefferson County and the Jefferson Lewis Childcare Project. Working with Early Intervention, Milestones and Little Luke's I was able to first hand work with children with Special needs. Physical and Occupational Therapist have spent countless hours in my daycare working with children promoting the health and well-being of kids.
Further, I became a member of the Child and Adult Food Program to ensure my program was providing the best nutrition for children of all ages. Throughout my career, I specialized in Human Services at Jefferson Community College. Subsequently, I interned at Mountain View Prevention Services and was able to work with counselors and school-age children in the local school systems. In August 2011 I closed the business in Lowville and re-opened in January at my new residence Holland Patent, New York.
