Donnelly's Darlings

15 Marshall Street Chelmsford, MA

6 mi

Donnelly's Darlings is a Family Child Care where education is as important as happy, healthy kids! Learning in this early stage should be fun and interactive but in a safe and strict environment. I feel children will learn more if they are kept involved and interested. "One of the biggest tricks of teaching is to stay in charge and still give the children freedom. The goal is freedom within limits. Without limits, classrooms and homes can become chaotic. Children need structure. They need the safety that comes from knowing there are boundaries on what they can and cannot do (Maryln Appelbaum of Appelbaum Training Institute)." Continuing to learn and try out new curriculum or activities are important here for the provider and any assistants as well.

I just earned my CDA (Child Development Associate's), a national credit, so that I can teach young children nationwide. I strive to be the best educator that I can possibly be, taking courses and learning throughout my time working in order to better myself and the program. My first priority for the program is making sure the children are safe. It is an absolute non-negotiable! I want to bring up the children as a whole person: physical, emotional, social, cognitive, as well caring, compassionate, and respectful little humans. I provide a bilingual curriculum in both English and Chinese, on top of the Montessori method. We love to play, it is so fun! They go to school to play, and in every activity they do, they are learning. It is the beauty of working with children. When we play with blocks, they are learning colors, shapes, counting, sorting, and more. When they are playing with Play-Doh, they are learning creativity and how to use their imagination, while building hands-on skills. The sensory and language aspects of, 'this bucket of play-doh is dry,' and 'this one is smooth,' is infinitely important in their little brains as well. There is so much to gain from playing. I want them to have every opportunity imaginable to learn through play. The benefit of a small program in a home environment for the children is that they learn how to deal with different personalities, conflicts, and more. They are little, but they learn from the examples set not only by adults, but by the other kids as well. Children can teach each other how to share, how to be patient, and how to ask for permission. I had one little girl teaching a little boy how to ask to use a toy, whether it was right then or when a peer was done with it. She asked for permission, the child said yes, then they said, 'thank you,' and 'you're welcome,' and the little boy observing learned. Prior to that, he had been taking toys without asking. It is so rewarding to see the kids growing up and learning how to behave on a daily basis in a safe environment. We also teach the children about gratitude. It isn't only during Thanksgiving that we talk about this. The children are taught to say 'thank you for dropping me off!' to their parents in the morning. Before we sit down to eat lunch, we do a family-style meal where we all sit together during breakfast, lunch and snacks, we say thank you and are aware of the gratitude of having food to eat. There is so much to teach the children and my program ensures that they learn as much as they can to launch themselves into a bright, successful future with all of the tools and development they need.

Licensed Family Child Care Educator by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a small family run child care service, providing quality care to infants, toddlers and preschool age children. We are located in Lincoln, MA off of Route 2 East. Our space is well equipped with play areas, indoor and outdoor toys, books, craft supplies and a large backyard with a playground. Our goal is to immerse children in a home environment and raise them as a part of our family. While the children are our top priority, we believe that building strong lasting relationships with the families is crucial in the development of the children well after leaving Big Foot, Little Foot. The core curriculum is play-based and centered around the child's wants and needs. The children are able to make decisions for themselves but we are here to make sure that they are safe, acting appropriately among each other, fed, clean, but most importantly, comfortable in the environment. Our main goal is to create a home like and comfortable environment where all kids of different ages, backgrounds and abilities feel welcome and secure. About Me: My name is Razia, I have been licensed by the state for the last 15 years and have more than 20 years of experience.

Teacher Turned Stay At Home Mom- In Home Childcare :)

I am a newly Stay at Home mom with my infant child. I am looking to provide babysitting/childcare in my home. I have been teaching for over 10 years and while doing that I have been nannying 2 families whom I still see on the regular. As a teacher, I plan on bringing a lot of my educational skills and lessons to the children that I do care for, ie play time, reading time, arts and crafts, etc. But only that, I plan on loving your child and giving them the comfortable, home environment that I would want for my own child. I plan on making the time with me as educational, and fun as possible. I am happy to do laundry, meal prep, etc., to enhance the stay and to make you feel comfortable in leaving your child with me. My home is a spacious 3 floor single family house, with a designated area for play and care. I also have a large fenced in yard which would be used for outdoor play as well. I would love to speak further with you if this is something worth considering. My hours are very flexible. I really want to just find something that works for you. I want to help you and in turn, you are helping me by allowing me to be a stay at home mom. All rates are negotiable. Again, I'm looking for something long term that works for you financially and works for me. Best of luck in your search!

At Bouncing Bunnies Family Daycare, we are dedicated to creating a happy and stimulating environment that offers love, acceptance, and a place where every child feels safe and secure. Here, the safety, needs, and happiness of all children is our top priority. With over fifteen years of experience in the family childcare and preschool settings, we strongly believe that play is the work of young children. It is with this philosophy that we have created our environment, placing an emphasis on learning through play and exploration. Young minds are given the opportunity to grow and to create their own worlds through imaginary play, using all five senses to learn about everyday wonders. Our program is designed to allow children to socialize and interact with their young peers, while offering them the opportunity to play and explore in a variety of inventive, age-appropriate activities. Additionally, we enjoy a seasonal curriculum that focuses on the highlights that each season offers. We engage in a hands-on, sensory experience through arts-and-crafts and interactive story time. When the weather permits us to do so, we spend the majority of our time outside. With ride-on toys, a swing set, and neighborhood walks, we allow for an exploration of nature, exercise of gross motor skills, and an outdoor experience that is always fun-filled. My years as a mother and childcare provider have taught me innumerable lessons, such as the value of fostering creative thinking; the importance of outdoor play, musical enjoyment, and story time; as well as the power of independent reading, problem solving and self-help skills. I always discuss any concerns - physical or behavioral - with parents, and I view strong communication between families and myself with the highest regard. Although it's always sad to see the children grow up and move on from my home daycare to preschool or pre-K, parents can be confident that their children are prepared to thrive and succeed in a larger environment. Thank you for your interest in our program, and I look forward to working with you and seeing your little ones grow!

I am an EEC licensed family home daycare, with my CDA credential. For more than 20 years I have been running daycare/school in my home, and I continue to do the job because I love it and it's very rewarding. I enjoy teaching the children their letters, numbers, colors, nursery rhymes, manners, math skills, and how to read, well before kindergarten. The children in my care also become very athletic. We are outside everyday: running, jumping, climbing, swinging, sliding(winter) and riding bikes. I take them to the local parks via stroller, and each walk becomes a science adventure. I believe teaching the children through play is a healthy way to learn.
