Description: A tidbit about me: Welcome to my home and thank you for your interest in me caring for your little one. After my son was born in 2003, my world revolved around his coo's and cry's. After spending the first year with my son, I discovered the world of Childcare. I had worked in a childcare center since 2004, with most of that time dedicated to working at Little Feats Too right here in Milton. I was the preschool teacher there for almost 9 wonderful years. As I grew professionally, it became clear to me that I wanted to watch children in my home so in 2015 I began my play-based home childcare. My family consists of my husband, Ladd, my son, Alex, and our pets, Abby the cat, Delilah the Miniature Schnauzer, and Zeuss, the Daschund. The dogs will bark when you first meet them, but other than some jumping, are very well mannered once they have settled. In my home, I will be helping your child to learn to care and love animals. I'm happy to share the love of my pets with all families who choose to become our extended family. I hold a valid CDA credential as well as CPR and First Aid training. As a teacher I will go to trainings that will pertain to child development and the fields of professionalism each year that will total at least 12 hours if not more. I am a registered home provider and offer breakfast, lunch and snack. Curriculum and Learning Opportunities: I will provide a schedule that meets the needs of each individual. Adequate times will be scheduled through out your child's day for play, one-on one interaction, large group and small group opportunities, eating, sleeping, and physical activities. A typical day will include opportunities for your child to build on their social, emotional, creative, problem-solving and physical development. My goals for children are to become confident about who they are. I will focus on their interests and build a curriculum to meet those passions. Some of my favorite things in life is the nature around us. I am passionate about outside opportunities and learning about creepy crawlies. Each child will be given the opportunity through out the day to participate in games, outside play, music and dance, story times (I LOVE BOOKS!), writing skills and art activities as well as sensory choices, cooking, cleaning, simple jobs and caring for animals. I will model positive social skills and actions and give them the redirection and support that they need. Infants will follow their own individual routine and be given opportunities that are new and unique, with plenty of tummy time, practice in standing and sitting, sensory experiences, book reading and outside exploration plus more!
