Description: I have a clean, loving environment. We do activities that are for the age group that I have. During the summer we do a lot of outside activities. I believe being a teacher, that I'm responsible for the well-being, safety and learning of every child. Teachers provide information not only through lecture, small group activities and hands-on learning activities, but with everything we do through out the day. After children arrive we do some sort of activity for a while in the morning. I try my hardest to make sure that the children I care for are taught to eat healthy and how much junk and processed food is bad for them. I believe in structure and keeping kids on a schedule that they can plan for. Every day snacks and lunch are at the same time am snack at 9:30, lunch at 11:30 and afternoon snack at 2:30. Rest time is from 12:00-2:30. After nap is either more activities, individual play, out door play.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
