My name is Jennifer, I am a 2006 graduate with ‘highest honors’ of ‘Early Childhood Education’
I am CPR certified and have First Aid Training for infants/children.
I have been caring for children for 5 years (Ages ranging from 3 mo.-10yrs, excluding mine)
I am the mother of a bright little boy born in November 2005
Why Am I Doing This?
I want to make a difference by providing an enriching experience for young children and give them the self-esteem, confidence and socialskills they need to succeed in school and life experiences.
By starting my daycare in my home I am able to offer my services sooner, rather than waiting until I saved enough for a seperate center. This way, I can save for a larger daycare center without sacrificing the skills I have learned. Currently I have 1 afterschool volunteer (meal prep for next day, cleaning, etc) and a part-time childcare assistant for afternoons(1-6pm) alongside myself fulltime.
Curriculum
I am balancing teacher-iniated activities and child-iniated activites to create a monthly theme that is appropriate to the time of year with weekly themes that speaking toddlers may choose themselves.
Child-Iniated:
With weekly themes we can explore the who, what, when, where, and why with paintings, sculptures, dramatic play, crafts, songs and stories that are developmentally appropriate to the age of the child.
Teacher Iniated:
With monthly themes we can explore the seasons, animals, bugs, gardening, holidays/celebrations, and lots more. If appropriate and relevant, field trips may be taken monthly to apply the knowledge with parental consent.
Programs
My child care program is semi-structured with individual activities, group activities, supervised free time, and supervised outdoor play. In addition to daily activities I provide a more formal preschool program for children between the ages of 18 months and pre-kindergarten that focuses on early learning skills.
Infants:
Each infant will be on an individual schedule, depending on the infant’s needs and the parent’s desires. They will be provided with an environment that stimulates small and large muscle coordination, the senses, creative expression, and socialization. Infants will be held during bottle feedings if they cannot hold the bottle themselves, bottles will not be propped. When a child reaches the age of about 18 months or sooner if they show interest, we will include them in our preschool activities.
Toddlers:
Toddlers will be encouraged to participate in the preschool program. Other activities will be added that are age appropriate. There maybe some activities that are above their capabilities and they may be offered a substitute activity in its place. Many of the activities we do work for all ages they just get different things out of it depending on their age.
Preschool /School age Program:
1. Small muscle: coloring, puzzles, play-dough, and a variety of blocks and other activities.
2. Large muscle: crawling, marching, running, jumping, dancing stretching, exercising, and sports participation.
3. Creative play; (stimulate child’s imagination, and language skills) play areas that may include; kitchen, store, doctors office, dress up, and puppets.
4. Arts & Crafts: projects emphasize creativity/technique and most importantly '' trying'' rather than final outcome.
5. Music: daily use of songs, rhymes, poems, piano or recorded music.
Opportunities to experiment with different musical instruments.
6. Science: activities that encourage investigations, observing, discovering and problem solving.
Example: cooking, growing a plant, bug hunts, etc.
7. Math: counting is a part of every day. Other activities involving concepts such as volume, size, shape, and measurements.
8. Language Arts: Story Time will occur daily. Children will be encouraged to participate in group conversations, social conversations, story telling, puppet play and role-play. Speaking in full sentences, talking turns, expressing oneself fluently and being an attentive listener will be encouraged.
9. Outdoor Play: We will go outside daily, weather permitting. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately. Activities for outdoors will often be planned that develop large muscle coordination. On days when we can not get outside we will have some activities planned such as dancing or exercising.
10. Responsibilities: Each child will be responsible to perform daily tasks such as clearing their own lunch and snack dishes, and hanging up coats. Each child will have a special job for a day or week depending on its age. No child will be "punished" for not performing a certain task but rather rewarded for attempting and/or carrying out the task. This will help build self esteem and independence. |

Supplies:
Each child will have a designated space for their personal items. Please mark names on children’s things. Please bring the following things for children to have available:
1. Toothbrush
2. A complete change of extra clothing (may need to be sent home often)
3. Paint shirt - an old shirt from Mom or Dad is fine
4. Diapers, baby wipes, diaper rash ointment/cream, pacifiers
5. Special blanket or toy for resting with

***Please note.... We go outside every day – children need to be dressed accordingly, and need sunscreen on sunny days. Also we often do messy activities and clothes can get dirty but always washable.
*Parents are encouraged to bring extra outdoor clothing such as hats, mittens, light weight coats, etc. to keep at day care. |
