My name is Krista Bray and I opened my daycare in 1993. I live on Victoria St in Metcalfe in a country setting . My daycare is geared towards infants and children aged 6months-4years. We enjoy being outdoors daily. The children in my care are stimulated with arts and crafts/stories/ and circle time. I offer healthy meals and snacks following the Canada food guide. I have my current CPR, First Aid and up to date police check. My program includes a monthy theme and each child is sent home with a monthly calender to keep the parents well informed with our daily activities.
Throughout my 24 year career as a Home Child Care Provider, as well as new knowledge attained through taking my ECE, I have developed my own personal philosophy.
One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job as a childcare provider is creating activities based on the children’s interests. I believe that as an educator it is important to provide opportunity for children to explore and discover. They are capable learners and I believe that children learn by doing. This is where I believe the best learning happens. As an educator, I believe children all excel in different areas, because of this I put emphasis on encouraging children’s individual talents and skills.
Something that is important to me is developing a comfortable trusting relationship with the children’s families. This allows us to work as a team to effectively meet your child’s needs. Both parents and educators roles have a vital part in children’s learning. By working together with shared goals the children will surely contribute to more successes.
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.
