Description

MY PHILOSOPHY OF QUALITY CARE:

I will strive to provide a safe, comfortable, stimulating, fun, and educational environment in my home with a semi-structured day plan. Activities will include free playtime, structured playtime, large motor skill playtime, small motor skills activities, story time and theater activities, arts and crafts, music and dance activities, nature and ecology awareness, nutrition, cultural activities, and other educational yet fun activities. I will also provide nutritious meals and snacks, and encourage good personal hygiene skills and manners.

The television will rarely be on during regular care hours and then only to watch educational programs or activities which I have personally prescreened to be appropriate for even the youngest viewers. A computer will be available for all ages to use, but only under supervision. School-aged children may have internet access, upon written parental consent, but again only while supervised.

Through a mixture of guided and undirected creative play, children in my care will have the opportunity to learn about color, shapes, textures, numbers, letters, animals, seasons, feelings, senses, nutrition, personal hygiene, manners, basic science and math concepts, and creative concepts such as “pretend” play, art, music, drama, and dance.

These may sound like lofty goals for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but children can learn all of these things and more through creative play. I do not believe in pushing any child to learn at an accelerated rate, and will not make a child feel pressured to achieve any developmental milestones. By providing the right kind of fun safe environment, I believe that children will learn at their own appropriate pace.

PRE-ENROLLMENT VISITS AND PAPERWORK:

I believe that children, providers, and parents do best when everyone participates in “get-to-know-you” sessions prior to the first day of care. This helps children get used to the provider and allows parents plenty of time to ask questions of the provider. It also helps everyone feel more comfortable with the situation. This benefits the child by allowing us to approach the first day of care with ease which helps reduce stress for everyone.

Children benefit from a stable, long-term care environment. My hope is that these visits will help reduce the number of misunderstandings that can inevitably arise, so we can develop a good working relationship and avoid the need for unnecessary termination of care.

I will work with you to schedule as many pre-enrollment visits as possible to help you and your child (ren). These visits should only last about an hour or so, depending upon the number of questions you have. Please be aware that if you choose to visit during daycare hours, I will have other children to care for at that time and may not be able to focus on getting to know your child. I would recommend a visit to my home after hours for the first introductory visit and then another visit during daycare hours so your child can meet the other children and we can get a feel for how he/she may interact with others.

All Contracts and Acknowledgement of Receipts need to be signed prior to your child’s first day. Please be sure to have the Medical Treatment Authorization form notarized by a Licensed Notary Public. Also, the law requires that all children attending daycare need to provide immunization records prior to admittance. These can be acquired by calling your Physician for a copy to be mailed to you.
