I offer a family-style setting as I find it works best for me. I strive to care for my little ones the way their parents would if they could stay at home.
I place an emphasis on good eating, manners, sharing, treating each other well, learning letters and numbers and helping each other.
We go on walks, trips to the park, have adventures in the back yard and generally enjoy the outdoors. We also bake and make lunches and snacks together.
Every day, we have a quiet time in the afternoon. Some little ones sleep, and some just rest. Everyone really enjoys this part of the day.
I generally have a range of ages as my little ones keep coming when they start school. They make up my after-school crowd.
