Kids Castle is a licensed family home daycare for children, aged 6 weeks old and up. Our school combines academic learning with structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. It has been an absolute joy to have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In my years working as a preschool teacher at a well established center, I focused on getting to know each child individually in order to meet their needs best. I believe that it is in these tender years where children develop vital personal and social skills which they cultivate as they age. Giving them the time, care and attention they need and deserve is of utmost importance in helping them grow. As the kids progress, we will engage in creative arts and crafts. In addition, I will be teaching them the alphabet and numbers. I also believe that teaching children etiquette is key in shaping their future, as well as it will help them learn how to play and socialize with other kids in a positive manner so they can best enjoy the bliss of childhood.

Each child will receive individualized care catering to their unique needs in a small group setting.

SOLVING). - How to resolve conflict peacefully (PROBLEM - How to appreciate diversity. - How their ideas are unique. - How to feel safe and confident _ promote their creative mind Learning how to live with others peacefully is an enormous challenge for all of us. The best time to begin this is from first year of life. The society is bombarding children with violence and undermining their development of positive social skills. At my childcare environment, everything is built around the child’s need in a very safe, nurturing, and comfortable relationship based on their individual needs. This program is very stimulating in areas of physical development, intellectual, social interaction, and emotional expression. Problem solving is the way to teach children to resolve conflicts by self- control, and be respectful to others, so this will happen through; ACTIVE LISTENING, NEGOTIATION, SETTING LIMITS, and AFFIR MATION. Active listening: Let children to express themselves, and think about their problem. Negotiation: Helps them listen to each other, and work together in a conflict situation. Setting Limits: To stay safe, and not to harm each other. Affirmation: Children need to know they are important as well as their words and emotions. It is essential for children to enjoy their environment (home, childcare setting, school...).Then they stretch their capacities for learning and use their intelligence Home Child Care is a form of self-employment that has no room for expansion due to licensing regulations. Unlike other businesses, there are no benefits like: retirement plan, health insurance, annual raises, or paid sick days. Childcare.
