Lots of playtime with ongoing learning. Story time ,crafting, and game time geared to age of child. All teaching is done in such a way that while children are at play or even having a meal they are being encouraged to share, have patience, to take turns, resolve conflicts ,have fun, and learn. Outdoor activities a must, but are geared to the weather and the season. I have 20 years experience, and I'm also a nurse. Lots of TLC given. No one likes to leave mom or dad so my childcare home is the next best thing.
