About the Provider

Description: Provider Description: I believe children must have a safe, nurturing environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I know that feelings of self worth, meaningful peer relationships and physical well being are important in the development of young children. I do time out and talk things out with children for behavior problems. I have been doing day care for over 20 years. I have two children of my own. I love children. Love spending time with them and caring for them.
