My name is Karen Fraser, I am a professional Early Childhood Educator and I have been working with young children for 15 years. I started my career as a nanny and for the last 10 years I was employed in a group child care setting. I opened my home daycare in May/09. My references are available upon request.
I am dedicated to providing a quality child care program that is designed to encourage each child to develop his or her own potential. I strongly believe that self esteem is a critical component in optimizing emotional and intellectual growth in young children. To facilitate this, my program focuses on socialization, and self help skills which serve to create a foundation that will assist the child in other areas of his or her development. I will endeavour to encourage and guide each child in learning and sharing their experiences. All children in my centre are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create in a safe and nurturing environment.
The daily program will be as follows. I will have a preschool program in the morning which will include, arts, crafts, puzzles and manipulatives, and then I will have a "circle time" where we will (as a group) discuss the calendar, play games, sing songs, and read stories. All of our daily activities will follow the current theme of the month (ex. October: Thanksgiving, and Halloween). Each parent will be provided a printed calendar for each month which will describe the upcoming activities and themes for that month.
Step by Step Family Child Care is a fully licensed home based centre that my husband, and my daughter (2 years) will be participating in whenever possible.
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.
