Nurture & Nature

604 Emerys Bridge Rd South Berwick, ME

Hi! I am looking to take 1 or 2 children into my home for full-time care. I have a social and happy 6 month old daughter who will love a couple of new playmates. I am genuine and honest, kind and compassionate, and incredibly patient. I am also very thoughtful and creative and will cater your child's experiences while in my care to be based on his/her strengths, interest and areas where there may be room for development/growth. I have decided to keep my program small for many reasons. Mainly, I want to be able to provide your children with as much attention, and specialized care as possible (3:1). Additionally, with less children there will be less germs and sickness as I know this can be a problem in larger care services. Lastly, with less children, I can be more flexible and accommodating to each family. I believe there is great therapeutic value in both The Arts and in spending time outdoors so I will incorporate these elements into our daily routine. I will also bring the children to local story hours (and seek out additional community events/activities) so as to provide the little ones with the opportunity to develop a sense of community. Because you cannot be too young to learn the importance of being kind to others, I would also like to involve the children in opportunities to give back to the community, (visiting a nursing home, assembling care packages, making cookies to donate etc.). I have a very large property set back a great distance from the road. We have 3 mini goats, 6 chickens and 2 big dogs (dogs are friendly but will be kept in separate area). We have a swing set and tons of space to run and play. I would love to teach the children skills like gardening and animal care (feeding the goats). I have a large section in my home that will be devoted entirely to the children full-time so that they can use the space freely. I love assisting children in expressing themselves creatively and don't shy away from making a mess and having fun. I have a wealth of arts and craft project ideas and will also get input from the children based on the things that make them happy and inspired. I have over 15 years of professional experience caring for people. I have babysat, nannied, and have been the Arts and Crafts Director at a camp. I have supervised group homes and day service programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. I have vast experience with developmental disabilities as well as allergies/sensitives high medical needs.

Cocoons Day School is a private school that offers preschool through 1st grade. It is located on 40 beautiful acres of conservation land in Kennebunk, Maine. At Cocoons we believe that each individual child, regardless of age, is unique and has his or her own temperament and learning style. The individual brings uniqueness to each new experience and takes an active role in the process of learning. Each child at Cocoons is treasured for being themselves. We all learn not only by being told about the world by older people and peers, but more importantly through our own actions and interactions with people and things. We learn by testing our ideas about the world and adjusting our thinking based on our discoveries. At Cocoons children experience structured learning coupled with blocks of time to explore and reflect, both indoors and outside. Our children love to take care of our barnyard animals and hike and explore our beautiful meadow!

Cathy says "We just love, love, love everything about Cocoons! Our son is so happy there!"
