Daycare

483 Buttonball Lane Glastonbury, CT

5 mi

About the program: Located in Glastonbury, CT on Buttonball Lane by Buttonball Elementary School and only a mile away from the high school. Before and after school care options available. Offering recreational and educational experience with focus on socialization and whole child development. Age appropriate activities for every stage of child development. About me: I am a certified teacher and have taught for over 14 years until recently having my second child (my first is a 12-year-old girl who is about to enter 7th grade- time flies!!). I made the decision to provide a well-rounded child care for kids in the area- in a very small setting (with that being said- I will only take a couple of kids). I am excited to bring my vast experience and background to help children develop age-appropriate skills- my goal is to provide many hands-on activities and offer more than just a traditional "daycare". I have developed a language program to bring Russian language and culture to young children. I have taught in many different capacities including teaching English Language learners, students with special needs and a teacher of mathematics (Russian method). Please feel free to e-mail, call or text to find out more information. Space is limited.
