Description

• CPR/First Aid Certified, Police Check
• Very experienced dealing with life threatening food allergies
• I have a van that I mainly use for day care. I leave the car seats installed permanently, so they are all properly tethered in
• No smokers in house
• Across the street from a park
• Weekly outings and Playgroups

Day Care Experience and Philosophy:
I have fourteen years experience in home daycare, it is not a temporary situation therefore you can be assured that your child will be in a stable environment. Through these past fourteen years, I have found that my passion is in providing for children of the pre-school and kindergarten age. Each and every child in my daycare is treated as one of the family. My own children are 14 and 16 and are not a factor during the day in the time and energy that I have available to the children in my daycare. I structure the activities in my daycare around the current needs of the children in my care (crafts, story time, song & dance, outings, playgroups, etc…). We go outside every day, unless the weather is bad. We currently attend a playgroup every Tuesday run by the Barrhaven Child Care Providers at the United Church on Jockvale.

Discipline:
I do not believe in discipline for children under the age of 2 years. I believe that improper actions are to be corrected and good behaviour is to be praised. After a child is 2 years old and understands, I discipline through correction of behaviour, time outs and loss of privileges.

Meals:
I serve homemade lunches and two snacks each day. All meals and snacks are well balanced. I encourage children to eat a variety of foods and have been very successful avoiding picking eaters.

Sample Menu:

Morning Snack:
Juice or Milk, Apple Slices, Gold Fish Crackers Juice or Milk, Yogurt, Grapes
Juice or Milk, Strawberries, Mini Muffins

Lunch:
Milk, Roasted Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Peas & a Cookie
Milk, Pasta With Tomato Sauce, Baby Carrots & a Pudding
Milk, Pancakes, Yogurt, Fruit Salad & a Cookie

Afternoon Snack:
Juice or Milk, Apple Sauce, Arrowroot Cookies
Juice or Milk, Cheese, Crackers & Apple Slices
Juice or Milk, Canteloupe and a Granola Bar

I have had experience dealing with egg and peanut allergies in my daycare. These allergies can be easily accomodated for.
Admission conditions
I have a 2 year old female pug as part of the family. She loves children and has been with them since she was a puppy. Must be okay with a dog in the house.

I also attend playgroups and outings that require me to drive the children. Must be comfortable with this, the children benefit so much from these outings.

A few tips...

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.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
