I am a mother of two girls (9 and 11 years). My educational background is in Environmental Studies. After realizing how much I enjoyed working with my children I started my home daycare. I have now been doing it for 7 years.
In my home we explore many activities. I do a circle time, crafts, and sensory bins/play. We take outings each day (weather permitted) to the park and our local play group. In the summer we also visit the splash pad and library. Being outdoors is very important to me and I share my passion with the children by frequent nature walks, visits to the Rideau river, gardening and bird watching. I also plan themes with related songs, crafts and books.
I try to leave a good amount of unstructured time as well, to allow the children to learn independence and work as a team with their playmates.
I plan weekly meals and focus on hitting all the food groups. I only serve homemade meals. For lunch we often eat soups, pastas. Snacks are fruit and vegetables with a dairy and a starch. I am always trying new meals with the children and will include them in the planning.
For discipline I find it best to remove the child from the situation for a talk and a breather, depending on the problem. I also insist the children use their manners and teach this by example.
I am very flexible with child care schedules; I am open to all arrangements whether it is full or part time, half day/full day etc.
Example Schedule during School year
8:30- walk girls to bus
9 -free play/prepare for outing
9-11:30 outing and snack (park, library, walk, playgroup
12 lunch
1-3pm nap time (flexible)
3 free play/craft time/snack

4:30-home time
These are my current hours, I can be flexible if need be.
Example Menu
1st snack- fruit or veg w/cheese or yogurt, homemade muffin
Lunch- salmon/tuna w/rice and veggies, or French toast w/berries, homemade soup
2nd snack- fruit or veg, crackers/rice cake w/peanut butter or cheese
3rd snack- fruit or veg, homemade cookie
(I bake without sugar, I substitute with a little honey or maple syrup, always add some fruit or veggies and I like to try lots of different items i.e. carrot bread, berries and chocolate muffin, oatmeal cookies etc.) |
