PRE-SCHOOL DAYCARE: Preschool Daycare M-F. Hours 6:30 AM - 5:00 PM. Ages: 3-6. In-home facility in Springfield, OH on Rocky Point Road. 45502, just a few miles from Yellow Springs and Enon, OH. Newer large ranch home with finished child ready playroom in the basement and an acre of backyard play area complete with swings, sand box, slides, teeter-totter, bounce house, and all sizes of tricycles, bicycles and scooters. We also have a child's above ground pool that comes to about half your little one's chest. Though it is 100% secure and watched, I also have life jackets for every size of child. (Parents approval for using.) For outside play, I have all equipment for playground activity for every type of weather. MOST IMPORTANT: I work at the level of skill set of each child. As a parent, you'll be excited at the immense number of workbooks and flash cards we use daily to learn the alphabet, phonics, site words, spelling, etc. I also work on critical thinking skills which advances children to develop positive decision abilities. Besides workbooks to teach, I also use tablets, countless games, puzzles, and crafts to help. Additionally, I also have Disney costumes for creative play and for YouTube dance lessons. From all of these things, your children will also develop the values of learning to play together, being honest, making good decisions, caring about each other and to share. My schedule is flexible daily but by the end of the week it works itself out for a well-balanced experience. Children who come to me with a foundation of good parental guidance and are past the separation anxiety of parents needing to leave, will be thrilled with the one-on-one care I give. I treat all children as if they are my grandchildren. We do birthday parties, may take a mini road trip to a park, the library, and even the Columbus Zoo. I spoil them with love and non-stop attention. I'm the child caregiver I wish I would have had when I was young. Most children don't want to leave by the day's end. If you are truly looking for a caregiver and not just a babysitter, you should come to my home and meet me. If you want your child to experience a safe and loving environment, contact me. If you're looking for a place that will individually teach each child all they need to know to be prepared for kindergarten, call me. Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, Larraine Boyd. 614-314-5948

Heather's Daycare

< 1 mi

I have been a home daycare owner for 3 years but have 17 years of babysitting experience. I used to be a Sales and Marketing Manager for the largest senior living company in the world, Brookdale Senior Living. When I had my 1st son, I was working 60-70 hours a week and that left me no time to watch him grow up so I resigned and took a leap of faith to start a business of my own, home daycare. I love it! It allows me the time to spend with my children, watch them grow up and be able to give loving, compassionate care to other children as well. I run my daycare out of my house and it has worked really well. I have 1 other employee besides myself to help me in the mornings. She will sit with the kids while I transport the school aged kids to Arcanum School. Franklin Monroe students are able to get on and off the bus at my house as it is a pick up/drop off location.

Heather Zimmerman In-home Care!

1845 Winding Trail Springfield, OH

Hello! My name is Heather. I am a wife and mother of two kids and another on the way! I have been running my own in-home child care since May 2013. I have 13 years experience working with children, as I grew up babysitting for my nephews and multiple families. I worked at several day care centers as an infant &amp; toddler teacher, and was a stay at home mother. I have taken many training courses throughout the years as a daycare teacher - CPR, First Aid, Communicable Disease, Child Abuse, Infants, and Toddlers/Preschool. I decided to start babysitting from home so I could make an income and be with my children and because I love kids! I like to run our day very similar to Day Care Centers. I think it is so important for kids to have a routine and learn new things! We do Circle Time daily. This consist of learning our ABC's, counting 1-10, shapes, colors, animals, stories, games, going over the calendar, etc. We do Art most days, age appropriate, but it really just depends on the kids. Outside activities, weather permitting. Baking festivities, especially around the holidays. We have parties for Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years! I try my best to keep the kids busy! We do have movie days every now and then, usually when its a rainy day. But we don't sit in front of a TV all day!! *My hours are Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.* I provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks (once on table food). Discounted rates for multiple children. Before &amp; After School care, as long as they have a ride to and from. Thank you!

Our goal is to help them to feel independent, learn how to be courteous to adults and other children, and to be fascinated by the world around them. When a child has a strong self-esteem and a lively curiosity as a result of a good home life and day care experience, then he/she will be eager and able to take on the challenges of school. Pre-reading/ writing and math skills are taught daily through age appropriate activities. Our staff attend workshops and have been trained in an excellent preschool curriculum.
