The Nest

18 Cedar Street Centerbrook, CT

< 1 mi

The Nest Home Day Care is a safe, nurturing, and encouraging atmosphere for children 6 weeks through 5 years old. My goal is to provide a stimulating and fun environment for children while encouraging social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. Your child will receive quality personal and individualized care in a warm and loving environment. At The Nest, I believe that children learn best through play and exploration. Whether it is investigating the dirt box outside, playing fun games indoors, or spending time exploring books all on their own, I will help to facilitate activities that children enjoy. Special seasonal activities will also be a regular part of time spent at The Nest, including summer days playing in the sprinkler or plenty of fun in the snow in the winter! I believe in positive reinforcement and redirection when children are testing the limits and learning the rules. I will provide a structured environment that is flexible enough to respect the child and their individuality while at the same time providing routine that children need to learn and flourish. And above all else, I believe that it is most important to treat children with love and respect.

I have lived in Killingworth all my life except for a short time where I lived in Guilford CT. I graduated from Haddam-Killingworth High School. After graduation I went to work for The Clinipad Corporation in Guilford CT. Where in my 16 years of employment with them I held many positions in Production, Quality Assurance and ending up with 8 years in Upper Management. When the corporation relocated to Charlotte N.C. I decided to pursue my aspiration to care for children. I opened my home to children as a licensed day care provider in March of 1998. In 1999 I earned a Diploma in Child Day Care Management. I also maintain certification in C.P.R., Medication Administration and First Aid. In addition to the above, I belong to our regional child day care association, and attend continuous classes and trainings to better the quality of care in my home. I am also a Justice of the Peace. In 2005 I earned National Certification in EKG and Phlebotomy. My mother Eleanor Sanderson ( AKA - Grandma ) also lives with us and she is a State approved day care Assistant / Substitute. We look forward to hearing from you.. Sincerely, Diane
