I am dedicated to providing a warm & inviting atmosphere. I believe that children need to have a positive self-image. I foster that image, and work to develop each child, intellectually, socially, and physically. I make use of play and learning materials that encourage each child to gain confidence in their abilities to do and make things. I welcome parental visits anytime, and seriously consider all parent suggestions and comments. I limit the number of children I take on to provide quality care. I care for infants and children up to 12yrs of age. I offer full time or before-after and lunch programs. We do daily outings to parks, drops ins and occasional specially planned field trips weather permitted. I will occasionally do baking/cooking lessons, music and dance activities as well as an agriculture/nature program in the warmer months. The daycare is wonderfully well stocked with toys and arts & crafts materials as well as there is a backyard fully fenced to enjoy.
