One Step Academy infant program is operated in a homey environment, where trust and close relationships with infants and families is created. We strive to provide individualized attention to each child. We understand that a 1:3 ratio is conducive in maintaining an intimate and homey environment with your little ones. Your infant can expect to start their day with a carefully curated schedule, crafted around their age-appropriate, developmental needs. This means warm morning greeting songs, followed by breakfast, and diaper changing. We then fill our infant's day with engaging sensory-based learning activities, such as Reggio-inspired sensory bottles. Immobile infants engage in captivating baby-gym activities. These activities promote self-guided, exploratory learning behaviors that create lasting problem-solving pathways in the brain. All our learning activities carry a high developmental role in fine and gross motor skills, grasping, visual tracking and hand-eye coordination. This combination of research-backed activities and environment at One Step Infant Nursery is linked to greater problem solving and creativity. Infants have a rich inner world, and at our nursery, we help them to explore and develop it. One Step Academy is committed in providing a breastfeeding friendly environment for our enrolled children. Breastfeeding mothers are provided a sanitary place to breastfeed or express milk. We also support all types of feeding. A refrigerator will be made available for storage of express breast milk, formula and solids. Our overall goal at One Step Academy is to maintain a positive ongoing environment that integrates a child's home and support their developmental milestones. 6wks - 3yrs

Currently I offer babysitting out of my home. I recently made great changes to my place to make sure the environment your child is in is fun as well as safe. I do offer a daily schedule and I try my best to operate as a daycare, although I am always trying new things to see how my parents and children adjust to make it most convenient and comfortable for them! I love to teach and care for children of any age. I do have 7 of my own which are here as well but they are all in school full time so they may be here in the a.m. during drop off or afternoon for pick up. I will definitely have everyone meet so you know who will be around your children. My main purpose is to help parents by giving their children a fun, safe, loving, caring environment to be in while the parents are working! I also enjoy taking them on field trips such as museums, parks, swimming, zoo, amusement parks, and any other fun places we can find that's weather appropriate if need be! If interested please feel free to reach out through text or call. I do provide daily meals as well and snacks! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for reading my profile!

Are you looking for an affordable and loving daycare for your children? Are you looking for a licensed provider? Are you trying to find a provider you can trust that your kids will enjoy spending time with? I've got all that and more! I am a licensed elementary teacher and have experience working in large care facilities for 2 years. I have been working with kids since I was 12 years old and I love them. I believe the best way to prepare kids for school is by encouraging reading. We read throughout the day and always have a story for nap time. I also surround them with toys and activities that encourage literacy. I am a licensed daycare provider. I love field trips! I try to get the kids out of the house for field trips at least once a week. I enjoy taking them to the zoo, museums, library, parks or even just to the store. I try to use natural teaching moments that come up throughout the day, just like you would do with them at home. I want your kids to enjoy daycare and have fun while you are working. I try to incorporate activities they already love as well as introducing them to new adventures. We do have one sweet cat that wanders through the house and will occasionally snuggle a napping kiddo so please consider any allergies before contacting.

My philosophy is to provide a loving, happy, educational and secure environment for children. I strive to enrich each child with a love of learning, a positive self-image, and a sense of creativity. I also strive to promote mutual respect between the parent, the child, and myself. It is very important to me to make sure I am giving each child the attention and compassion needed and deserved. A couple ways I ensure I am the most attentive caregiver is I keep the number of kids in my care low. I do not exceed 4 or 5 kids although I am licensed for 6. Also, I do not accept children under 1.5 for the same reason. We are often on the move and it requires split attention to have infants and toddlers. I will consistently work towards the following goals: To provide a nurturing atmosphere to promote a child's creativity and positive self-image. To provide the children with many different educational activities and play centers to explore and participate in. I provide developmentally appropriate activities for the children to experience and enjoy. To provide positive methods of discipline to reinforce the strengths of the children and to help develop a respect for others. I try to develop age-appropriate limits to help the children gain a sense of independence and responsibility. To be available to parents for the purpose of daily communication. My doors are always open to the parents.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Aurora, CO
