Welcome to Halona Meadow Farm Children's Center, a private farm and nature-based preschool. My name is Robyn Andersen and I am the director of Halona. I have been an educator and caregiver of children for 30 years. I attended Granite State College in Early Childhood Education. Since that time, my roles have included Head Start teacher, children's camp director, after school program coordinator, children's yoga instructor, children's art instructor, and infant/toddler caregiver, preschool enrichment coordinator. In addition, I home-schooled my own two children, who are now 19 and 22. This is an accomplishment of which I am most proud! I am currently the lead teacher for a Waldorf- inspired preschool summer program. My passion for guiding young children has now led me to create my own children's learning center. The essence of this program is love. It is important to me that the children I interact with trust me and know I care for them. And so I have created a program where each child can feel comfortable in a family-like setting. The program includes six core components: Nature Although I do not subscribe to any one educational philosophy, I have taken the best of all that I've learned over the last 30 years and have created primarily a nature-based program. Throughout each day, the children will spend lots of time in nature and outdoors. They will be involved in activities such as taking nature walks, where we will observe and identify all of the little creatures that we come across. We will explore vernal pools, brooks, and ponds. The children will also engage in arts and crafts using natural materials. I have a deep respect and love for our natural world and want to nurture that in all the little ones in my life. Play When a young child is organically engaged in an activity, whether it is imaginative play or creating in the sand box, they are doing their true work of learning. I could never artificially create anything more engaging than authentic play. What does authentic play often look like? It involves getting dirty, playing outside in all types of weather, and being allowed to take reasonable risks, such as climbing and jumping off of rocks. Farming The children will be exposed to a variety of homestead activities. We will be gardening, caring daily for little goats and bunnies, and engaging in seasonal activities such as berry picking and sap collecting. I hope to include riding activities in the future.

I have been babysitting out of my home for the past 3 years. I worked at a day care center for 7 years and before that I was in all the ECE courses through my high school. I'm also a mother/step mom of 6 kids :) I love being outside with the kids and exploring Mother Nature. I have a park close by to my house and so I try to go often. We do lots of arts and crafts like painting,making play dough and sand/water play. I do not allow a lot of TV time because I feel it's better to be creative and productive :) Feel free to e-mail me @ busymama_28@yahoo.com

Andylex Youth Enrichment Programs is a small, family-based childcare focused of providing high quality childcare programs in the Monadnock Region. We are now offering two programs during the 2017-2018 school year: Early Learners Daycare and F.A.S.T. (Fun After School Time). Both programs are dedicated to providing safe, quality, fun and loving care to your children. During the past two years my basement has undergone renovations and has been converted into an childcare center. My home is now a license-exempt family-based childcare, and registered with the Division of Children Youth and Family, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Our home recently underwent, (and passed) both the City of Keene Heath and Fire Inspections. My goal is to provide families with a childcare service that has the same standards and credentialing as fully licensed centers, but in a home environment. I care for, and look after each of the children like they were my own. On a daily basis I never have more than 3 children. Each child is given the time, love and attention they deserve as well as an educational environment. My childcare center is designed to stimulate and nurture social, emotional and cognitive development. I work closely with my families to ensure I am providing the exact care and environment they wish their child to be in while they are away from home. Now is a wonderful time to secure a place in the Early Learners Daycare as we are growing quickly and space is very limited. At this time I am only providing care for 3 children per day for full-day care. Please take the time to review my profile and I would be more than happy to send you my resume, transcripts, references, and/or pictures upon request.
