Hello everyone. My name is Audrey. Welcome to my page. I hope you find what you are looking for. A little about myself. I'll be 26 soon. I'm dependable, independent, family oriented & loveable. I have a strong passion for ASL (American Sign Language) and my love for babies & toddlers is unexplainable, so I decided to combine the two and start an in-home daycare. Here at My First Signs Learning Center, we have two MAJOR missions. Our first mission, is to shower your infants and toddlers with love and affection, all while preparing them for their journey into Kindergarten and beyond. Second is to have your infant be able to communicate with you (Mom & Dad, etc.) before verbal language, through ASL (American Sign Language). YOUR CHILD, OUR TOP PRIORITY: Nurturing and care. Safety and security. Our priorities for your child are the same as yours. At My First Signs Learning Center, we know that highly responsive care early in life is critical to your child's long-term social academic development. So in our safe daycare environment your baby will not only be loved and cared for, but our highly trained teachers will stimulate your baby's cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Learning from the start is our exclusive, milestone-focused approach to child care and early education. It was developed to focus on the key developmental milestones specific to infants and toddlers. Your child's journey on the School Readiness Pathway begins here. We emphasize your child's development, rather than specific age, because all children grow and learn at their own pace, and in their own unique way. Activities are designed to address the individual needs and abilities of each child, in each classroom. Learning from the start stimulates and exposes learning concepts in a fun and engaging way with a focus on reaching and mastering emerging milestones. We explore: *COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT *LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNICATION *PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT & HEALTH *SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Individual and group experiences allow children to interact with each other, as well as their environment. In addition, the classroom has been specially designed to be comforting and stimulating, and to further maximize teacher-child interactions and learning.

When a child’s basic needs are met, they are ready and able to learn. So we start with providing children with the security they need to be the children God created them to be. Then we introduce learning through a modern “play-based” approach that effectively engages a child’s curiosity and natural ability to learn. As a five star Quality First program, children receive the highest quality care and early education in an environment that is intentionally designed and developmentally appropriate all at a rate that is affordable for today's working families.

My name is Raeanne, and I offer quality and affordable child care out of my home in Phoenix, AZ. I am located off of 75 Ave and Thomas road and have been offering child care since March of 2013. I have my fingerprint clearance card, a food handler's card, and I am CPR/First Aid certified. I am also a registered home child care provider through AZ Child Care Resource and Referral. I have experience working with children with learning and developmental delays/disabilities at local public and charter schools, respite and habilitation in home care, as well as in licensed child care facilities. I decided to stay home and provide child care because I had a baby in November of 2012, and I could think of no better way to provide for my family while having the ability to care for my little boy, as well as fulfill my love of educating and caring for children! A.R.C.C, I provide a preschool curriculum with weekly letters, numbers, shapes, colors and calendar themes. I offer daily crafts and activities based on curriculum and teach some sign language as well. I provide breakfast, lunch, and one snack per day as well as circle time, story time, outside play and plenty of learning through play! All of my meals follow the national federal nutritional guidelines. I believe that children thrive in a structured environment so we follow a flexible daily schedule and offer daily afternoon rest time as well. I have an open door policy and invite my families to come in at pick up and drop off to play and learn with their child and see all of the fun things we have done for the day.
