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!

Welcome to Kreative Kids Family Child Care. I have been an EEC Educator and Licensed Family Child Care Provider since 1991. I own & operate a Family Day Care with our group of friends being newborn to PreK. Our group is small with up to 6 children. With all the germs and viruses going around in today's world, I think it's important to choose a small daycare... fewer children, less coughing, fewer germs, and fewer illnesses. I provide a warm loving HOME atmosphere with a great place for children to learn, play, and explore! Nutritious meals and snacks are served following the USDA Food Program Guidelines. Our setting offers both indoor and outdoor play areas for lots of fun and exercise. I offer a variety of child care spots with flexible hours.

Patti's Family Day Care strives to create a comfortable home environment for kids to learn, play, and grow! Since 1997, this state-certified home day care has provided many families with, not only the professional care they wanted, but the warm welcome they and their children deserved. The Family Day Care's provider, Patti Crawford, has been a daycare teacher for 27 years. She worked in Acton, Massachusetts as the Lead Teacher in both the infant and toddler rooms. She has also taken several early childhood education classes and numerous workshops, many on an ongoing basis. When asked why she left Action and decided to create a home childcare business, she said: "I decided to stay home and work when my daughter began kindergarten. Now she is a college student! I grew up in Dracut and am happy to be living with my husband and daughter in a town that we love." Patti's Family Day Care is open year round, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. each day. The day care is closed on a several national holidays, such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day -- more detailed information available upon request. Weather permitting, the kids go outside everyday (so always make sure you dress the kids appropriately for that day!) There is also mandatory nap / rest time as regulated by the state; Patti encourages that any special blankets or loveys be brought with the child to make nap time more comforting and soothing! Patti's Day Care is enrolled in the PACES food program, requiring healthy, nutritional meals and snacks be served. Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are served daily (and sometimes, the kids help cook a snack or two!). Above all, Patti's Family Day Care wants both child and parent to be comfortable and welcome. She encourages all prospective clients to make a call, take a tour, and/or request for one of the many references Patti Crawford has on hand.

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.
