Spanish immersion program. Our program is designed to promote healthy growth and development of the whole child (social, emotional, intellectual, physical and creative development). We believe that children learn best by doing. Therefore, our classroom is planned in a way that encourages each child to become active in areas called centers. In the centers, children may work alone or in a group. The centers include dramatic play, block building, art, science, reading, music, manipulative, sand and water. Each week there is a theme. The classroom follows a schedule every day. The daily routine helps the children feel more comfortable at school because they know what to expect. We are more than happy to encourage potty training as long as the child is ready. Please feel free to come and go at any time throughout the day to visit your child. We provide nutritious, balanced meals following the guidelines of the USDA for children. We provide breakfast, lunch and snack daily. Parents of children 15 months and younger are required to complete an infant feeding schedule form as well as provide formula already prepared. All bottles and tops must be labeled with child's name and date. All children are supervised at all times by staff members and there is a supervisor or designee at all times as well.

I have always loved working with children and have over 25 years of experiences as a babysitter, nanny, teacher and currently new mother. My 2 year old son and I are looking to care part-time for one child in our home in North Durham starting now. We spend our days exploring nature, playing, listening and dancing to music, reading books, experimenting with new art materials and going on outings to the library, Duke Gardens and the Life and Science Museum. We live in a cozy little blue house with a fenced in backyard. I have an extensive background in the creative and performing arts for young children along with much knowledge in early childhood development. I have found a good balance between a routine with napping and meal times but also having time for new experiences and fun activities. My son and I often go on outings, and we make sure to get outside each day. We have a large library of children's books, a swing set and sandbox, lots of fun instruments and lots of toys. We also have one dog who loves kids. A little bit about me: After graduating with a degree in art therapy, I joined the Peace Corps as an art teacher in West Africa. Upon returning to the US, I completed my master's degree in art therapy and my husband and I moved to North Carolina where we have been for the last 6 years. After my son was born in August, 2014, I left my art therapy job at a hospital to be home with him. I am child/infant CPR trained and have references upon request. I am comfortable with and have experience working with babies. Please feel free to email me with any questions. I look forward to finding another child to join my son and me each day as we explore.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Durham, NC, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Durham, NC may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.

However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Durham, NC, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
