Philosophy: As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth at their own pace. I offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. We take a small number of children in order to provide a fun and safe atmosphere for each child with one on one care as well as socialization. Attending Shaw Family Home Child Care and Preschool should be an enjoyable experience for the child as well as the parent. While at child care, your child will be exposed to many kinds of learning experiences including: *Arts and Crafts, *Music and finger play, *Story time, *Large and small muscle play, *Self initiated play, *Numbers and counting, *Letter recognition, *Social development and kindergarten readiness. About us: Pamela worked at the Montessori N.E.S.T. for 8 years with children up to age 3. She is a graduate of Lake-Sumter Community College with a degree in Human Services specializing in child care. Pamela has also completed the 20 Hour Child Care Course through HRS and the 30 hour Family Child Care Training Course through the Department of Children and Families. Pamela and Michael take CPR and First Aid training every 2 years (last time taken on June, 2014). Pamela has taken the 5 hour training in Early Literacy and Language Development of children from birth to 5 years of age.
