Our early learning program centers around our unique Children’s Workshop Framework curriculum, which combines RI Early Childhood Standards with the Massachusetts state standards and centers around play to provide your child with an educational experience unlike anywhere else. Our school age buses and vans provide transportation to and from Smithfield and Johnston Elementary Schools. In addition, we service areas of North Scituate. If you are unsure if we service your area, please give us a call! Our school is located on Cedar Swamp Road, right off Route 44 about a mile past the Smithfield Crossings. Our spacious layout gives a one-of-a-kind feel to the classrooms and allows each age group their own learning experience.

Hello! I am certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED from the American Red Cross. I have a very small home daycare of 2 to 3 children at a time, enough for socialization while also offering very specialized individual care. Because of the small numbers, we are able to be active indoors, outdoors and in the community. I specialize in newborns through preschool years as well as having many years of experience with older children. I provide the transportation, meals and any entrance or activity fees. Our day may involve apple picking, story time at local libraries, a visit to the zoo, going on a nature walk, painting, climbing a tree or hanging from a tree branch, sewing, baking, bouncing a basketball or kicking a soccer ball, cuddling in a rocking chair while reading a stack of books and the list goes on... This is the perfect age to instill a love of learning through physical exercise and adventures. Life is great and children are awesome! A little about myself... I played sports in college and have a degree in health education. My children were also Ivy League college athletes. Everything I have done in my life has involved teaching. I have been a mental health counselor, a teacher for disabled children, stayed home with my own children to teach them in their early years, a preschool teacher then began my own home day care business 11 years ago. I take pride in being a support system to parents even if it's just to listen or share one of my experiences. References are available from any and all of my former families including residents, fellows, and TopDocs. I look forward to meeting you!

Nature Based Childcare

23 Evans Rd. Smithfield, RI

< 1 mi

Nature, art, and music based in home childcare program now enrolling! Located on two acres of quiet, wooded land; plenty of play space for active, growing children. We eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables from our family's produce market. I cook almost all meals from scratch, including the children in preparation. We have a vegetable garden and fresh eggs from our hens. Outdoor play is part of our daily routine in various weather. Other daily and weekly routines include baking, gardening, painting, crafts, stories, tidying, resting, and music. I've played acoustic guitar for 14 years, as well as play piano, banjo and love singing with children. I also have a BA in Art (concentrated in oil painting), knit, sew, and am generally crafty and handy. Our toys are simple, open ended, and made from natural materials to encourage creative play. Our children do not watch television, so you can expect that your children will have media free days as well. I graduated from Salve Regina University and was a full-time nanny for five years before having my own children. I am CPR/First Aid certified and in the process of becoming DCYF licensed. Please call or email me for more information, references, and rates. Flexible weekday hours and Saturdays available.
