As a child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe, fun, educational and happy place where children can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their own pace.

I give the children in my care opportunities to learn in a family-like setting with  mixed age groups, where they can feel safe and loved, and can begin or continue to build a positive self image.  Your child will receive quality personal and individualized care in a warm and loving home.  Your child will have the opportunity to gain practice in language, fine motor, large motor and self-help skills.

I understand the needs of parents, being a parent myself, and I try to provide a day care situation that I would want my own children to be apart of if I were still working outside the home

 

Discipline Statement

I use strategies that allow the child to take responsibility for his/her actions.  In addition, I focus on teaching children appropriate behavior.  I do not use threats or bribes; however, I do use Time Out when I feel the child needs a break away from the group.  I focus on teaching children how to interact socially and continually reinforce the limits in my home.  Physical punishment will not be used, even if requested by the parent.

I expect children in my care to respect others, respect the environment and respect themselves.  Hitting, kicking, spitting, biting, hostile verbal behavior and other behaviors, which will hurt another child, are not permitted.

Each child will be dealt with individually.  Consequences will occur immediately after the behavior.  As a parent, I ask you not to punish your child at home for misbehavior shown while in my care.  Please trust that I will handle the matter at my home.  Furthermore, I will not discipline your child for an incident, which happened anywhere other than the daycare home.
