My name is Heidi Arthur and I am a registered ECE. I am starting up a home daycare in Bowmanville which includes daily activity plans, healthy AM/PM snacks and lunch, walks twice per day weather permitting and occasional visits to the local park. I have experience in both daycare and Montessori. If you are interested in meeting in person I will provide a complete start up package including a floor plan with the general daycare layout, a sample activity/lesson plan, a general safety plan, a daily schedule, references and a criminal record check. The daycare area will be in the basement of our home complete with a full 3 piece washroom, mini fridge, water machine, microwave and an egress window providing both added natural light and safety.
Safety policy highlights:
- Washroom in the daycare area will be free of any cleaning supplies or other harmful materials along with all areas of the daycare.
- Access to the stairs will be closed off using a baby gate that fastens to the wall (not the typical pressure fit).
- We will have a safety/fire drill periodically so the children are frequently reminded as to what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency.
- I will use a walking rope as an added safety factor for our daily walks.
If you are interested in meeting in person please let me know what works best for you. Please understand any available spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
