Hi parents/guardians my name is Michelle, but you can call me Chelle as all the kids do. I am a mother of three wonderful children, two which attend school full time and one an infant. I have been running a small home daycare for three years now. Besides my own children I currently care for a almost three year old little girl, ten year old boy before and after school and an 8 year old during summer vacation. I provide 2 snacks and a lunch all home made (no processed food) that follow Canada's food guide. The children are also provided with an individual communication log that is written in daily so parents know how there child's day was, what the ate if the slept/rested etc. We do weekly outings to the local park, library and Early years centre. We also do monthly trips to places like the Children's museum and Dundurn castle. My back yard is fully fenced for out door play and there is a large separate playroom for the children in my home. We operate on a semi-structured basis for activities like arts and crafts, story/circle time and free exploration time. Snack time, lunch, rest time and all outings are on a regular schedule.
I have up to date CPR and First Aid training, Police clearance and clean driver abstract. My home is also pet and smoke free.
Admission conditions
Parents must sign and abide by a contract for services. Children must be up to date on all shots. Security deposit of one weeks of care needed on enrollment date.
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.
