I have been doing daycare in my home for 7 years. I have 3 children of my own, 2 of which are in school full time (ages 6 and 8) and I have my 2 year old at home with me. I believe in providing a nurturing environment for your child, and fully understand the responsibility that I have in caring for your child while you are away at work.Your child will become like one of mine, and I like to keep my daycare small so I can devote plenty of one on one time to all the children.
In a home-like environment, guidance and discipline is needed to provide a safe and secure environment for a child. Every child will be made to feel secure by being positively encouraged and reinforced on a daily basis. This will impact a positive effect on developing appropriate relationships with the childcare provider and other children.
Some forms of guidance/discipline that may be demonstrated are redirection of a child to another area until they can manage with the other children, privileges taken away and time-outs only when needed. The time-out length will be determined by their age.
Discipline that will not be used by Tanya is any form of physical or verbal abuse that degrades a child in any way and hinders a safe environment for all children.
