I have a passion for working with children and consider myself a bit of a kid whisperer. My experience & credentials come from the fact that I have had just about every mentor & educational role imaginable with children including baby-sitting at 10, childcare centers & camp counseling in my college years, plus live-in nanny, substitute teaching & private tutor in my twenties. I have two teaching degrees, a B.S. in both Early Childhood & Elementary Education plus added masters work in educational technology. I taught in both public & private preschool settings in Kindergarten, & first grade on the east coast. Also, I have 15 years training in human studies, communication, and psychology. Additionally, I have completed a weeklong early learning intensive course at The Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential. This home-based preschool program is inspired & influenced by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf. As such I use a blend of the creative through yoga, arts, and Music Together Worldwide with play based exposure to foundational skills for school. We have a piano, 2 guitars, and other instruments. Our backyard & garden provides options for outdoor activities like sprinklers, water table, play dough, kinectic sand, bubbles, etc. Option for up to 4 days per week. Flexible timing would be school hours with the option for after care starting at 2:00 although it would be educational programing or online reading & math. Preschool would run September to June and follow the FVSD school schedule for holidays & breaks. Currently until I'm a licensed home-based preschool I can only work for 1 family. This spot is exclusive, and as such, rate is competitively priced for one family as a private teacher with siblings included.

Celebrating my 40th year in the child care industry. I have seen so many changes. The one thing that has always stayed the same is the children. Routine, Schedule, Education, Music, Movement ,Creative Play, Nutritious Meals and lots of love, has been the timeless key to my business success for all these years. Preparing your children for school and life is what we do here. Children help with daily responsibilities. Searing meals, clearing plates, cleaning up after playtime and cleaning up there bed rolls after nap and putting them away. I am enrolled in a state food program. With this programs comes yearly training and quarterly monitoring of all meals and snacks served to your child. Children love to cook. Cooking day is one of there favorite days. Our morning is full of music, movement and education. Free play in the yard with enough bikes and toys to go around. Imagination is limitless while in there minds they climb towers and chase dragons around the yard. Computer skills are so important even to the preschooler. ABC Mouse is the program we use. This programs allows them to learn at their own pace gaining confidence in themselves daily. Social skills and manners play a huge roll daily for each child. The younger children learn from the older ones. They look to each other for support, laughter and friendship. My goal is to provide quality child Care for you and your child. To stimulate their educational and social abilities.
