Hi, my name is Randie Lynn. I am 28 yrs. old and have been babysitting & teaching kids for 12 yrs. I had my first child last yr. He just turned 1yr. old. I am looking to babysit/educate a child that is 1 yr old also, so that my son can start interacting more with a child his age. I would be available Mon-Fri 6am-2pm. I have lots of great references. I have also worked for little prospectors daycare for a short period of time when my son was first born, but just wasn't quite ready to be away from my son yet. I have helped home school children with learning disabilities. I am friendly and love being around kids. I am teaching my son new things every day and would love for someone else's child to benefit from this, that may not be getting the time to educate their little one as much as they'd like too. I would provide snacks, pb&j's, fruits and veggies, etc... If you feel I'd be a good match for you and your child and/or have any questions you can call/text me any time at (480)-652-3943. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great week!

Child care
The Superstition Mountain Early Learning Center Apache Junction (ELC) and is licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. We are located on the Central Arizona College Campus. We provide care and education for children of all abilities ages 2 years (potty training) until they enter kindergarten. The Early Learning Centers are programs of Easter Seals Blake Foundation (ESBF), a non-profit social service agency. ESBF is based in Tucson but has programs for children and families that reach across the state. Please visit our website http://www.easterseals.com/blakefoundation for more information. At our Early Learning Center, we are committed to providing early care and education supported by research and will apply best practice at every possible opportunity. Our plan to stay current on what the research is showing to be best practice includes enrolling in Quality First and becoming accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Quality First is the Quality Improvement and Rating System funded by Arizona First Things First. As participants in this program, we will have on-going formal assessments of our programs at least every 2 years, will receive additional program enhancing supports which include an early childhood coach and will have access to financial incentives to support enhanced quality. NAEYC is a voluntary accrediting program that evaluates the systems we have in place to achieve and sustain a high level of quality. We are in the process of becoming accredited by the NAEYC and hope to have accomplished this goal by spring 2021. THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER'S PHILOSOPHY The Early Learning Center is committed to providing quality, comprehensive, culturally sensitive early childhood programs, which are respectful of the unique needs of each child and family. We believe that children learn best - when healthy attachments and respectful relationships occur between the parents, the child and caregiver - when a supportive partnership with parents exists that allow families to be the ultimate decision makers for their child, with support, resources and ideas from the caregivers - when the environment is safe and interesting; when it invites exploration and allows for choices - When enriching experiences are intentionally planned to support the development of each child as an individual. - When all routines and interactions are seen as opportunities for learning to happen.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my profile. My name is Nicole and I am a single mother to a preschool aged daughter, and for about the last three years I have been blessed to stay home with my daughter by caring for other young children in my home. As time goes on children grow and move on to the next stages in life, so I am currently looking for a couple of families to support by providing a home learning environment away from home. I am not a certified teacher but have learned the importance of having a childlike spirit to connect with children in various ways. At the same time providing a consistent rhythm of the day that consists of circle time, free play, nature walks, cooking, life skills and chores, hygiene, verbal story time and verses, and incorporate relevant field trips at the end of the week. What inspires me to continue to provide childcare is the opportunity to give young children an organic childhood experience. I have adopted both Montessori and natured based principles to offer a balance to every day life to allow children to explore at their own will. Nothing is ever forced and options to choose are always given, even with mealtime. Meals are freshly homemade and consist of mainly organic and gluten free ingredients and juices are only freshly pressed. If you are looking for a safe faith based environment in a gated community, with a park to explore with learning toys galore I'd love to speak with you to answer any questions you may have and to learn about your family to see if we would be a great match! **NEW** Soccer Skill classes are available in community park **Before and After care is available for discussion. (Home is insured for Childcare)

CLOSED DURING SUMMERS AND OTHER SCHOOL BREAKS--- If you are a teacher or work for a school district, we may be a great fit! As both a childcare provider, and a mother who has previously worked outside the home myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to have a dependable, qualified childcare provider that loves your child as you do, and treats them as their own! There's nothing better than getting a picture text message during the day to see the fun your child is having, or a daily written summary of your child's moods, eating habits, and activities, and knowing that they are well taken care of in your absence. Good communication between the parent and provider helps make sure all parties are happy, especially your little one. I understand the dynamic of being a working mother and would love to get to know your child to see if my family childcare would be a good fit! Just as I take my own children to the park, story-time at the library, and playgroup, I would consider your child a member of the family while at our home, and expected to join in on the fun! I respect individual parenting styles, communicate well about routines and preferences, understand the seriousness of food allergies, teach preschool objectives while playing, such as colors, numbers, patterns, and sight words. I also enjoy sharing my musical talents of singing and playing the piano with children. The kids also love to help with the vegetable garden, which gets them excited about eating healthy! As a college graduate with a Psychology degree, I have taken courses in child development, behavior theories, and parenting styles, etc. Your child will be played with, talked to, well-fed, sung to and loved! He or she will have fun friends to play with all day, and will have a variety of fun experiences with myself and our daycare friends while you work hard for your family each day! I am both infant and adult CPR certified and First Aid certified through September, 2025. I am also a registered childcare provider with the Arizona Resource and Referral organization. Several recommendations of my childcare skills can be provided at your request. My home and yard are clean and safe. There are plenty of toys and activities to share. No swimming pool. We try to practice kindness, friendship, helpfulness, and respect in our home! Crossroads are off the 202, at Ellsworth and Guadalupe. I look forward to meeting you and your child!
