Now that I'm retired after working for 35 years, I can finally do what I've always wanted to do - childcare in my home. I will teach ABCs, 123s, sharing, manners, hand washing, and potty training if needed. I have limited openings for daytime hours but can accommodate some drop ins. I do have overnight hours available and I care for several nurses children. I have a bedroom set up for the children to sleep in. I prefer children that already sleep mostly through the night. Thanks and hope to hear from you.

Hi there! I'm Ms. Emily, I've worked with young children, including special needs for the past 6 years. I have 10+ yrs experience in the medical field. However, have come to realize that teaching children is my passion. I take pride in my work ethic and teaching abilities. I am patient, caring, and incorporate a traditional structured/Montessori philosophy into as many of our days as possible. I offer a safe and fun learning environment that will exceed your expectations. My rates are reasonable & fair, considering I never have more than 5 children in my care. You can rest assured that your child is safe & properly supervised at all times. I provide 2 meals (breakfast/lunch) & 2 snacks. I incorporate science, social studies, character, dance, music, reading, writing, dramatic play and outdoor activities into our monthly schedule. Your child will always feel welcomed and enjoy learning new things. I have an open door policy and encourage parents to drop in anytime to check and see how your child is doing. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you!

Mother of three with great child care background. Have worked with all ages from infants to high school, in various positions from day care lead teacher to church preschool teacher and up to management positions. My main focus is providing a great in home, safe, fun and creative place for children and for parents to feel safe and trust bringing their little ones to. Will provide healthy meals/snacks for toddlers on up, and LOVE doing fun things like crafts and all sorts of fun and learning projects, even outdoor fun like trips to the park- for all kids. Also able to pick up/drop off kids at nearby locations or schools if needed, reliable transportation is available at all times. I have a passion for children and love getting to know any little ones and their families that I work with. Willing to take in any ages, and will charge according to age, what type (full week, before and after school, etc.) and how long care is needed for ( full time, part time, days/wk needed). Everyone has different schedules and scenarios and I am willing to be understanding to what each family needs. Example- some need all day care, some only a few hours, some just before and after. Please feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss pay rates at that time.

In-Home daycare
Kingsland ChildCare Solutions, Inc. after protracted haggling with banks building owners has made the strategic decision to open up as a home based child care development in Arroyo mountain Estates in Litchfield Park (Buckeye) AZ. This pushes back the building move by 12 months. Kingsland operates in a space that embraces innovation and change. We utilize elements of Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and the anti-bias philosophies. We are guided by the creative curriculum and interject song, dance, art, and basic sign language terms to assess how each individual child learns. We are partners with the parents because it takes both entities being vested in the child's development in order for the child to optimize their potential. I would like to thank the parents who have entrusted me with the care of their children over the years and I look forward to doing much more with the next group of children who will become the inaugural class in the new building. I have 15 years within the profession and over that time I became well versed in creative curriculum, Spark, and ASL concepts. I have taken these elements and fused them with the Reggio Emilia and anti-bias philosophies to create something new and dynamic. Our program focuses on developing multiple senses simultaneously so that children learn the essentials they need to progress in formal education as well as the social skills that will allow them to succeed in life. Reggio Emilia taps into a child's critical thinking skills using art and music as the gateways to discovery. I am a firm believer in networking and partnering to offer an integrated approach to servicing your needs and the needs of your children. We are in phase 2 of our 120 day project which is generating the buzz and establishing the brand identity. In phase 2 we will generate the interest list. In phase 3 we will move in to the facility and start the application process. In the 4th and final phase we will have our grand opening and bring the totality of our shared experiences to the total care and development of your children. Our program is dependent on parent participation to work in tandem with the staff to carry-over what is learned into the home and other social scenarios. We welcome feedback as we seek continuous improvement in all of our processes and procedures. If all goes well we are tentatively planning an early to late October grand opening
