For the 2 year old opening above, they need to be 30 months. If it is a sibling situation I will accept a younger child.

I have an associate degree in early childhood education and was the pre-k teacher for an academically oriented daycare for a year and a bit. I was also a program assistant for a NSACA accredited school age program for 2 years.
I offer a structured environment with enough wiggle room to support an emergent curriculum.
I enjoy helping families get their children kindergarten ready, and focus on meeting the needs and abilities of each individual child.
In our home we have set up a separate room as the main daycare area that is set up for independent activities. We also have a great fenced in yard with a large play structure and sand "pit" that children in the neighborhood call a playground. We have a large blacktop area to play on outside if it's been really raining, but we also put mulch down so even if the yard is a swamp, we can play on the jungle gym. We have to be outside if the weather is nice!
We have pets in the home, a dog and two cats, and they all do well with the children. Especially the dog, she mopes when the other kids aren't here.
I participate in a USDA food program, and I'm particular about what my own child eats, so the menu is nutritious.
We have lived in our home for 4 years, and the we includes my husband of 11 years and our 4 (almost 5) year old daughter.
We are located in Marion close to Longfellow grade school and the VA hospital.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
