I'm Star! I am a 39yr old mother of one, C.. For eight years, I was a high school English teacher, but once I became a mom my priorities shifted. I decided to stay at home to ensure he was receiving the best care. It was such a joy to watch him grow and learn new things, and I hope to do the same with your little. As a mom, you want to make sure that your little one is receiving quality care in a safe, loving and clean atmosphere. I understand the stress of finding an affordable daycare, and a place that would establish an intimate, caring, and loving relationship with you and your child. I promise I would provide that and so much more. Many of my former clients have become friends, in some cases extended family. I can tell you how great I am through this ad, but you would simply have to meet with my son and me to truly see for yourself. Because I understand your needs, here is what I am offering: 7:00am - 4:30pm services Breakfast, Lunch, Snack and Formula INCLUDED SAFE, CLEAN, and LOVING HOME Daily Progress Reports for Infants References Photo and Textual Updates Potty Training Assistance CPR/First Aid/ SIDS Certified Licensed/Registered Childcare Provider Criminal Background Check Certified Huge Backyard for Outdoor Play Although I prefer to care for newborns and infants, I will provide care for your little one up to 2.5 years of age. I am not a person looking to take advantage of you, your child, or your pockets. I am serious about childcare in a nurturing environment. Please contact me to schedule an in person or over the phone interview. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Smoke free Household

With 16 years of dealing with children from all walks of life in the medical field, I felt it was a passion of mine to open a daycare. I run a daycare out of my home and teach the children through song and dance. I take time individually with each child because all children learn differently and I like to focus on their strengths and build the weaknesses. I cook breakfast, lunch and provide them with snacks as well. I offer affordable rates and have the option of paying either weekly or bi weekly.

Our preschool offers care as early as six weeks up to school-age. Our center provides a loving and home-like environment. We have discovered that at preschool, children build a strong foundation in social, pre-academic, and general life skills that will give them a leg up in school and beyond. At Childworks your child will receive all the necessary skills to help your child succeed when they are off to school. We participate in the Funnydaffer curriculum. We also nurture creativity and curiosity. Our teacher's provide opportunities to engage in group activities, and work together with each other. In an environment with a range of activities of choice, children can explore their curiosity while still getting used to structured activities. More than anything else, preschool helps children develop the skills they need to grow throughout their lives. The emotional skills and understanding of the world that children develop while they are young will help them become constructive members of society as they grow. Here at Childworks our number one priority is your child and what is in their best interest and keeping parents up to date on a daily basis.
