As
a mother and an Early Childhood Educator children
have always been my passion. I graduated from
the Early Childhood Education at Delta College
in 2001. I have worked in a number of Preschools
such as, Merry Hills Schools, Head Start,
including Family Daycare settings. In 2004,
I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this
world and it only made sense to continue down
the childcare path I love and open my own
Daycare.

Quality
Family Child Care
A
family childcare provider continues the parents
role of caregiver, nurturer, comforter, and
first teacher. The provider is not just a
babysitter. A sitter comes into your home
for a few hours. You tell her what you want
for your child. A family childcare provider
welcomes you and your child into her home.
She plans meals, schedules, and safety. She
organizes the children's activities. She will
appreciate your family values and child rearing
practices. She is a professional and you can
rely on her judgment. Working together as
a team, you will provide the best for your
child. The provider is not a substitute for
you. You are the most important person in
your child's life and the provider respects
that.
Here
are just a few of the advantages of home care!
Your
child receives individual attention. There
is structure with more flexibility than in
a center. There
is less illness because there are fewer people
in and out, which means fewer germs are spread
to your child. Your
child is cared for and taught by a trained
childcare professional who is usually a mother
as well. Children
have an opportunity to play and learn with
others in a much smaller group than in a center.
Your
child has the same caregiver all day every
day. And there is one person who knows exactly
what your child has done, eaten, etc. throughout
the day. It
is possible for your child to remain with
the same provider from infancy up to or through
school age. A
quality childcare home may cost more than
some day care centers, but the lower number
of children, quality of care and consistency
of the caregiver makes the difference in price
more understandable.
Your
child receives individual attention.
