I have decided to leave my job to become a stay at home mom again, and I will be opening up a small daycare in my home. I have worked in childcare for over five years at two different daycare centers. I will be starting in mid-September and I have four slots open. I am willing to do full-time or part-time depending on your needs. I have a three-year-old daughter who will be included in this group. I have room for: Infant- 1 ($160.00 / week Full-Time) Toddler- 2 (150.00 / week Full-Time) PreK- 1 (140.00 / week Full-Time) My Philosophy: I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a caring, stable and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my goal to help littles meet their full potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe and secure. I want to help children develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment which occurs through an open sharing of ideas. These slots will be updated as they are first come, first serve. I will be open Monday through Friday 6:30 - 5:30. I am currently working on getting licensed, but I do NOT have a WA state daycare license as of right now. I have taken STARS training, child care training courses, and I am up to date with: *CPR *First-Aid *Blood Borne Pathogens The schedule below will be a rough outline of our daily activities. Infant Schedule / Toddler Schedule 6;30 - 8:00 Arrivals Individual Feeding / Breakfast 8:00 - 8:30 Free Play / Free Play 8:30 - 9:00 Diapering / Potty Training 9:00 - 9:30 Tummy Time / Coloring 9:30 - 10:00 Bottles / Snack 10:00 -11:30 Nap time / Circle Time 11:30 - 12:00 Reading time 12:00 - 12:30 Individual Feeding / Lunch 12:30 -1:00 Diapering / Potty Training 1:00 - 2:30 Tummy Time / Nap 2:00- 2:30 Diapering / Potty Training 2:30 - 3:00 Music Circle and/or Arts &amp; Crafts 3:00 - 4:00 Outdoor Play 4:00 - 4:30 Snack 4:30 - 5:00 Diapering / Potty Training 5:00 - 5:30 Free Play and Pick Up Please note: We do have two dogs and a hamster in our home, but my dogs will be kenneled. Our backyard will be fully fenced by this weekend. You can also stop by to check up on your little any time besides nap/rest time. If you would like to come for lunch, please let me know ahead of time so I can plan an extra meal. I also have a crafting room so expect a lot of homemade items to come home each week.
