Licensed since 2003 Capacity: 6 + 2; infant through school age Hours: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. My style of care includes age appropriate activities, materials and toys in a pre-school atmosphere utilizing similar curriculum materials as the local school district. I use a theme based curriculum with daily circle time, reading, math, arts and crafts, outdoor/indoor free play, and music. Interwoven with Kindergarten readiness are self help skills, learning about themselves, the world around them as well as socialization skills. A newly finished walkout basement provides the main daycare space while allowing easy access to a safe yard, driveway, quiet cul-de-sac and neighborhood for outside play. My main goal is for your child to feel cared for and safe in my home while encouraging a supportive relationship with parents.
