Good Day! The program that I have set up for your children is very simple I am willing to provide for children from newborn up to after school children. Your child will have a learning environment during the day if they are full-time care kids they will have different areas that I will work on with each child based on their stages of growth. After school Children: Will always have an area to do their homework as well as reading time, snack time and play time before getting picked up due to the fact that I will only have two after school children including my own son there will be a group for them to interact with. This is a family based home daycare/child care I take pride in making sure your children are just as safe as I would make my own kids.

Ever wondered, "What is a Montessori school?" Then you've come to the right place! A Montessori school is a school that uses the Montessori educational philosophy, which is named after its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). We are not a school but we are doing a montessori program that will teach children everyday life chores. Basically, every Montessori school student learns through interaction and direct engagement, rather than lectures, homework, and reward systems. Authentic Montessori educational practice helps children develop creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, time-management skills, [and] care of the environment and each other. It can prepare them to contribute to society and to become fulfilled persons. The basis of Montessori practice in the classroom is mixed age group (3-11 ages in one class), "Robin's Nest have multi-age classrooms, mixing children of varying ages so that younger students can learn from and work together with their older peers. In turn, the older students can use their interactions with their younger peers to reinforce concepts they've already learned. Combined with Montessori practice and Meditation, Art, movement, Music, modeling, painting, plants, baking, singing, learning about the environment (fall, leaves, winter, Animals) kids engineering and mathematics.

Responsibilities As a childcare provider I was responsible for a variety of duties connected with children's day: 1. starting from waking them up and fulfilling all morning routine; 2. preparing breakfast and lunches for school; 3. putting the children on the bus, receiving them off the bus or picking up from school; 4. helping with homework, providing afternoon snack 5. helping with bedtime routine and bathing; My duties included also childrens' laundry, driving to and from places we were visiting in a free time, cleaning after them, picking up the toys, giving the medicine, helping with potty/toilet-training, assist with dressing and sometimes shopping, etc. I was responsible for 4 to 6 children in an age range starting at 3 (5 at the present) through 5 (7 present), 7 (9 present; diagnosed ADHD) and 9 (11 present) and sometimes additional 12 (soon 14) and 14 (soon 16) of their step-brothers. Accomplishments Most of the things and organization of the time and entertainment was dependent on me. I was consulting the details with the parents and waiting for confirmation, however most of the ideas came out from me. I was building the day around what I was informed of that the kids have to be present at/signed up for and very often happened to entertain 3 children while the other one was taking a class. Children learnt to be very obedient with the time and we still keep on improving this skill and good manners. Skills Used Flexibility; patience; being understanding and organized; creativity; ability to discipline as needed; engaging in performed activities and games; longanimity; explaining and being just; honesty.
