I am an experienced mother of 4 dedicated to providing childcare in a family-centred environment: children learn best when they are in a warm, loving environment. Communication and co-operation between caregiver and parents is key. Together we will strive to give your child the best possible opportunities for learning.
I can accommodate most types of diets: vegetarian, vegan, lactose free, nut free. Meals are home made: organic and locally grown when available. Weekly menus are provided to parents.
Sample menu:
Snacks
Ancient grain crackers
Cheeses (including goat cheese)
Yogurt
Fresh seasonal fruit
Home baked pita crisps & Hummus
Homemade Apple sauce
Apple cinnamon or banana blueberry muffins
Whole wheat Pita bread w/ Hummus

Lunch

Whole wheat wraps w/ turkey and cheese
Tuna on w/w English Muffin
Homemade soups/stews
Vegetarian chili with w/w bread

My home is also breastfeeding and cloth diapering friendly should parents wish to bring their cloth diapered child or bring bottled breastmilk. A quiet room can be provided if mom would like to nurse or pump in privacy.
CPR trained and Police Records Check obtained. Member of the Child Care Providers Resource Network (www.ccprn.com). References are available.
Admission conditions
We are a smoke free home to 2 cats. Regretfully we cannot accept children that have allergies to pet dander.
I currently provide low ratio care to infants/toddlers and school age children. I have space for 1 full time child starting in Winter 2015 and my hours are 7am until 5:30pm.
I can also provide care to school aged children who attend Berrigan Elementary School.
