Worcester Day Care

As a licensed Family Child Care Educator, my goal is to provide a fun and safe learning environment for your child, while encouraging social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. Your child will receive quality personal and individualized care in a warm and loving home, where they can feel safe and happy and can begin to build confidence and a positive self image. The daily activities include free play, story time, art work, indoor and outdoor fun, age appropriate learning toys, nap or quiet time, meals and snacks, education television programs (30min), and let's not forget love and the hugs are what makes this day care complete. This daycare is home setting in Worcester, Massachusetts! I will also be using a high-quality, research-based early learning program called "Mother Goose Time." This curriculum actively engages a child's mind and body through multidisciplinary activities and can accommodate a wide range of ages (3 months through 6 years).

The Funky Bunch Licensed Family Childcare in Worcester, Massachusetts offers Infant and Toddler Child Care programs, as well as, Preschool and Pre-K. My goal is to provide a home like and safe learning environment for children.

I receive an educational curriculum from the Office of Curriculum and Professional Learning from Worcester Public Schools, to prepare kids for Kindergarten.

The purpose of my program is to meet the individual needs of the child as I prepare him/her for further education. I provide for regular association with other children in work and play. I provide for the growth and development of the child's physical and mental abilities under the guidance of qualified, creative teachers. Each child will be encouraged to explore, discover and create through a multi-sensory approach to learning.

Most important, I know how difficult it is for you to leave your child in the care of someone else while you're at work. If you choose to leave your child with me, you can rest assured that they are being treated with respect and love, learning new things, making new friends, eating healthy snacks, and having a lot of fun!
