I have over a decade of experience caring for children ranging from infants through school age. I spent many years in a professional childcare setting, and recently decided to begin a new adventure by starting a childcare centre in my home.
I believe children learn best through play, and that getting dirty is a part of childhood - one of the best parts! I create age-appropriate, weekly plans based around a variety of themes including seasons, current events and holidays, and the children's own interests.
I work together with my cousin Meagan:
Hi! I'm Meagan,
For the last 7 years I have worked at a daycare center in Burlington where I was responsible for many different age groups, ranging from 3 month old babies to school age children! I love spending time with the kids reading stories, making crafts and playing games. I have also spent many years working in the kitchen at the daycare and have created a variety of delicious and healthy lunches and snacks.
I graduated from the Visual Merchandising Arts program at Sheridan College, but decided to give Childcare a try!
In my spare time I love going to baseball games, camping with my family and laying on a beach somewhere warm! I hope to one day have the chance to travel the world and experience many
different countries and cultures.
Katie has a small dog (Lucy) and two cats (Maia & Sawyer) - all are very friendly. Lucy will spend majority of time up or downstairs while children are in our care - since she can get very excited when there's a lot going on. Maia & Sawyer tend to visit and then hide when they have had enough. Sawyer loves to spend time with the children, and will join in their games if they'll let him!
