With
14 years of experience in the professional world of child daycare I have
found that watching children develop through the stages is my enjoyment.
I believe in a positive environment for children. They will be encouraged
in everything they do. This is so important for their emotional growth
and well being. Hugs and kisses are also endless around here.

Daily
Activities:
Development
is mostly done during the first few years of a child’s life.
This is why it is so important that learning letters, numbers, and
colors will be a part of their daily routine. I think this helps
children learn to concentrate, be creative and helps develop their
motor skills. These fun/playtime activities will be the same for
all children in the daycare, but will be geared toward each child’s
individual need as well as age group to ready them for school. The
older children will also be able to get experience with the younger
children, set a good example for their peers and have small responsibilities.
Even though the Little
House Daycare is not our home, every inch looks and feels like a
home for the comfort of your child.
The playground and toys
available for fun time are approved by the National Program for
Playground Safety. The play yard is fenced in for security.
Safety:
My daycare
is state approved and licensed. It is equipped with properly working,
regularly updated smoke and fire alarms. The daycare is inspected
monthly by the state.
I am First Aid and CPR certified. The daycare is insured, and has
no pets. The children are taught safety, stranger, fire, weather drills,
911 and how to calmly exit the daycare if needed. We have no more
than 12 children at any time and no more than 6 without an assistant.
Discipline:
Young children
up to 2 years are redirected in their actions. Older children are
warned about inappropriate behavior. Second warnings are handled with
a time-out and discussing the inappropriate behavior. Parents are
informed of behavior good and bad.
Payment
Schedule:
Payment in full is expected
at the end of each week. I appreciate your understanding of this policy,
as I will be better able to operate my daycare if the budget stays in
the black. If payment is not made your child is no longer entitled to
daycare. One week’s payment in advance is needed to enroll your
child in daycare. The money is held and used as your last week of daycare
payment.
Weekly
Rates:
Ages
6 weeks to 2 years:
2 years and up:
$100
$95
The above rate
is required to hold child's place to attend daycare. It is not dependant
on how many or how few days they attend. State funding accepted.
Hours
of Operation:
The
daycare is open from 6 am to 5:30 pm.
Closed all holidays and
any other prearranged times.
Illness:
Children with
fever or any contagious disease can not attend daycare. If the child
develops a fever or begins vomiting while at the daycare they will
need to be picked up.
Any medicines
to be given to the child will need written instructions. If prescribed
medicine, the Rx label with instructions must be present. The child’s
name must accompany the medicine.
Interview
for Placement:
Call for an
interview for you and your child. I prefer to do so after hours and
at least one week prior to start date. During the interview process
I am just as critical of the children and parents that I am going
to place in the center as the parents who are wanting to place. I
do not accept just anyone. The mix for your child and the children
already in the daycare must be a good match.
