In-Home daycare
I rent the house to run the daycare so the kids have tons of space inside and out. I provide nutritional breakfast (before 8am), lunch and snack daily. I also provide a preschool program. We do tons of activities- games, crafts, outside time (walks, playground, scavenger hunts, free playtime and water time in the summer). During the summer we do fun activities with the older kids (4 years and up, also dependent on behavior). We have holiday parties with themed days. I believe in providing a safe, educational and fun second home for children.
