We are a Christian family centered daycare. We will have one opening near the end of August 2022, for one additional child, any age group infant through preschool. This opening will only be for 6 months; August 2022- February 2023. We strive very hard to care for the children entrusted to us as if they were our own. A typical day in our home includes: breakfast with a Bible story and singing, teeth brushing and hair combing, free play, followed by circle time with a story and finger plays and educational games, outside play or large motor skills, dramatic play, followed by lunch and nap time, a snack with a story and some more outside play depending on the weather. We visit the park, go swimming, ride bikes, play with chalk, go on walks, and visit the library. Our yard is quite large with lots of room for outdoor play and includes swing sets, slides, and sandboxes. We provide two areas for indoor play and learning and I have three sleeping areas available so I can providence for individual sleep needs. We are currently caring for 2 one year old boys and a little girl who is 2. We are certified in both CPR and First Aid. We have passed a criminal background check as a result of teaching at our church. I have many additional references that I would be happy to share with you during a personal interview. I have an educational background in both an early childhood and the medical fields. I am the mother of five children all of whom I home-schooled and have been providing childcare for the past 23 years. I truly love children and form deep and long-term bonds with the children and their families. I normally care for these little ones until they begin attending school. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you and talk with you further!! God Bless!

At Children's Garden Academy children are respected and valued. We honor each child by actively acknowledging and celebrating their differences through our individualized care.Every Child is treated like a member of our family and given the space to be themselves. Our goal is to create an environment where children can feel free to express themselves, ask questions, and explore. Children's Garden Academy's learning environment is centered upon the Social Cultural theory of learning. The sociocultural theory of learning was developed by psychologist Vygotsky in 1962. This theory is based on the idea that social interactions serve as the foundation for learning. Vygotsky believed strongly in the idea “that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning."As such, here at Children’s Garden Academy, we emphasize the importance of learning from each other, and the environment as a whole. Children’s Gardens promotes the sociocultural theory of learning through: 1. Establishing Learning Communities 2. Collaborative Learning and Group Work 3. Discussion-based Learning
