Are you searching for a provider that you can count on, that goes above and beyond? For over 20 years, I have loved being an intricate part in the growth, development and nurturing of many children. Many are still a big part of my family. Working together with the families, we have experienced great success with potty training, walking, talking, transitioning from bottle to cup or no pacifier, fine gross motor skills, learning our numbers, letters, shapes, colors, object recognition along with socialization skills of sharing, caring, kindness and good manners. Our bright and enchanted storybook hollow playroom is full of exciting options to fill our day with fun and learning. I have many references from families (including several teachers) that I have provided care for in the past as well as currently. I am a Mom of 3 children. A daughter, 26, living on her own, a son, 20, who attends Harvard University and my youngest, a son who is about to graduate High School and will be attending Kent State with a goal to study abroad in Paris in 2 years. I live in North Columbus in the Forest Park area between Morse Rd and 161. About 8 minutes from Easton. I live on a very quiet cul de sac. If you are interested in chatting about your childcare needs, please give me a call at 614-284-1482. Thank you. Melissa

Welcome to Curiosity Care, an in-home child care facility in Westerville, Ohio! A learning based daycare with a focus on encouraging curiosity through science and art. We have a semi-structured schedule that allows each child to get the most out of each activity, which means that a child will never be pulled away from an activity that they are actively learning, but will keep the day moving. Every day from 1-3 there is a nap/quiet time where younger children can nap while older children will do activities such as reading or puzzles. Breakfast, lunch and two healthy snacks are offered daily, as well as fruits and veggies available all day. Lots of outside play are encouraged, and we strive to bring out the unique attributes in each child!

Hello! I opened my daycare eight years ago in my home after I adopted my second child. I was a foster parent for four years, during this time, I attended several training classes including First Aid and CPR, both of which I am still current in. I also went to College and completed three out of five years towards my Early Childhood Degree. However, life doesn't always take you in the direction that you thought! Now, I get the opportunity to follow my dream! In my home, your children will start out their morning by free play and eating breakfast. After that, we go to the playroom and we incorporate puzzles, books, musical instruments, flash cards as well exploring their imagination with forts, tents, etc. Around 11:30 a.m., we leave the play room and watch Sesame Street or another age appropriate show while I make lunch. During lunch, I play CD's of nursery rhymes and music. Nap/Quiet time is from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., depending on the needs and desires of the parent/child. When all the children are up, we have our afternoon snack and free play for the remainder of the day. During the nap/quiet period, if I have children who will not nap, I will introduce Play Doh, finger paints and also put in a Disney movie. My home is filled with age appropriate toys, as well as all the essentials a newborn/infant would need. Cribs, Pack and Plays, High Chairs, Strollers, Bouncers just to name a few! Our home is also equipped with fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, and ADT should an emergency develop. Also, whenever possible, I have a fenced in backyard where I have many outdoor toys such as a trampoline, monkey bars, slides, riding toys and a water table for the children to play with. I also have a sprinkler and several small kiddie pools. My hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I provide breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. I also include the baby wipes for all children as well. My home is smoke/drug/alcohol free. We are pet friendly with a small dog and cat. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I recently relocated to Delaware and I'm very excited to join this great community! I previously had an in-home daycare in Worthington and have re-established it here. I now have one more opening. I like to keep my group small (3 or 4 children only) to provide the maximum quality of care. This is especially important for those difficult days when little ones don't feel well or are teething, etc. I like to have the availability to provide them with that extra 1:1 nurturing. I began providing in-home childcare 4 years ago. I was a nanny for over 6 years before joining the workforce in the field of human services for 7 years which I resigned from in 2014. Prior to that and while attending college, I also worked as an assistant preschool teacher. My home is set up as more of a daycare/preschool atmosphere with structured weekly lesson plans, a fenced in playground, and many age appropriate activities. I provide meals/snacks/milk and have a monthly menu, lesson plan, and parent newsletter. I also have a parent handbook and send home a form each day outlining what your child ate and did during their day. I will provide each family with a W-10 form at the end of each year so you can claim your childcare expenses on your taxes more easily. I have two active and sweet daughters, the oldest is 6.5 y/o and in kindergarten. The youngest is 4 y/o. I keep my profile fairly private but am an open book to interested families and am willing to answer any questions via private message. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

I have a great group of children that are looking for a new playmate to share smiles, laughter, and fun. I have one full time opening for ages 1 1/2 to 4 years old. I have been providing child care in my home for 35 years. I began by caring for a neighbor's child while I was at home with my own young children. My plan was to enter the work force after the children began kindergarten, but, before they began kindergarten, another family in the neighborhood needed child care. And so began my career in child care. As the years went by, my children went to middle school, high school, and have finished college, and I still have "children at home". I fell into child care by accident, but after all these years, I still find it a fun way to spend each day! I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and homelike environment for the children in my care. We have a wonderful playroom for the children. This provides a fun and safe area that is just for the children. Our backyard offers outdoor fun for all! The yard is enclosed with a 6' privacy fence and the play area is mulched with lots of play equipment. There is plenty of grassy area for running and playing. Our home is smoke-free, pet-free, clean and well-organized, while still being welcoming and comfortable. Our day is routine and lightly structured, I keep meals and nap times on a consistent time schedule. During the "school year", we have planned learning activities. Our activities are pre-planned and are included in the monthly newsletter and calendar. I try to keep the learning fun, age-appropriate, and engaging for all ages of the children in our group. I provide the extra attention that home based care provides, along with preschool activities that promote early learning in a much smaller setting. I was registered with Action for Children 1989 through 2016. Sadly this program has been discontinued. My husband and I have been fingerprinted and have background checks with local and federal databases, including the sheriff's office and a background check with Children Services. I have also completed over 200 hours of training in many aspects of caring for young children and the business of home based child care. Come visit Michelle's House!

CMC is an independent, nonprofit program dedicated to offering accessible, fully-implemented Montessori education and child care to families in Columbus and throughout Central Ohio. We are now enrolling children from 2.5 through 5 years old in our mixed-age learning communities called Children's Houses. CMC is open most normal business days with a range of academic-year and full-year schedules. We offer Partial Day, Full Day, and Extended Day options from 7:30 AM through 5:30 PM. In future years, we hope to expand to include an elementary program as well as options for infants and toddlers. Our goal, as an intentionally diverse and socially responsible institution, is to make joining CMC accessible and affordable to as many Central Ohio families as possible. To meet that goal, we offer Sliding Scale Fees to all families across a range of scheduling options. This means we charge fees to families that are responsive to their financial circumstances and childcare needs (as opposed to a single set of fees for all families). CMC is also a PFCC (formerly Title XX) provider. To schedule a visit, please go to calendly.com/visitcmc/visit.
