Carmen's Christian Home Day Care

3425 Kings Rd. Steger, IL

< 1 mi

Carmen's Christian Home Day Care is a professional home base environment that provides loving care to each individual child. I earned my BA in ECE in March 2012. However I have worked in the field of Early Childhood for over twenty years. I believe that children are precious human beings with personalities and they should be entreated with honesty and respect. Because I view children as unique persons I understand that one size doesn't fit all and what works with one child may not benefit another child. I believe that children should be taught structure, manners, and how to be self regulated as they grow and blossom into the character they will be come. I promote healthy self esteem, respect for themselves, their peers, myself as well as their property and my own. I encourage open communication with my parents to promote respectable consistent dialogue so that we can be in one accord for the safety, and growth of their child. I believe that active learning goes far beyond the ABC 's and 123's. I believe that every moment is a teachable moment. If one can appropriately apply the lessons given to everyday situations and grow from them this is learning.
