QUALITY CARE: NOT MORE THAN 4 KIDS AT A TIME. HOURS: 6AM-6PM FULLTIME, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Dear Parents, My name is Pari and I am a Licensed child care provider. I am First-Aid and CPR certified. I have also been Live Scan fingerprinted and background checked. I speak fluent Farsi, Spanish and English. Children are my passion. Before opening a daycare, I was a personal Nanny of two kids, from the time they were born until were six years old and off to school. My Philosophy: As a child care provider, I believe that having Passion, Love and Respect for the Children is Number one and it's my Priority. If we treat children with Love and Respect, they grow to be happier and more confident and with great self-esteem. By providing a child with a nurturing environment, they will be more responsive to their education and every day tasks. My main focus is to respect their physical and emotional needs in every moment. A child who knows that he/she is loved has a great head start in life. Which is why I provide a safe, fun, loving and educational environment for your little ones. I will provide a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. [No junk, frozen of microwaved foods.] A copy of a monthly menu will be provided to the parents and can be adjusted to accommodate for food allergies. I provide a Preschool Curriculum. Our daily activities are created to help and enhance your child's fine and gross motor skills and other areas of development. Activities are designed to help your child recognize numbers, shapes, patterns, colors and the alphabet. We also include story-time, music time and fun arts and crafts throughout the day.

Hello! I am a loving mom of 2 beautiful baby girls, ages 6 months & 16 months. I know firsthand how hard it is to go back to work after having a baby. I promise to give a loving, nurturing and safe environment for your little bundle of joy. Children should be spoiled with fun & love as long as it is safe and structured. If you provide a safe-haven for your little ones, they can grown and develop to be smart, sweet, fun-loving and well mannered children. I also follow an age appropriate preschool style to promote early learning with crafts and exciting activities. I also work on providing a schedule of feeding, napping and playtime for a happy baby and the sanity of parents. We enjoy going for walks and playing along the green belt. I was taught by the best NICU doctors and nurses after my youngest was born prematurely. Before your child is discharged, you go through a long list of requirements to be sure you are trained to care for your special infant. I was also an instructor for My Gym, teaching children of all ages. I can also care for your newborn siblings for a deep discount for all day, part day or after school care. I would love to be the home away from home for your child(ren). ADDED BONUS...Once a month, professional pictures will be done of your precious babies at no additional charge (you can decline if you'd like). There is even hot coffee to go for you before you head to work. Care will be in my home. Drop off and pick up time is flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights and overnighters. No need to get your kids ready. You can drop them off in PJs and I can get them ready for the day of fun. All meals and snacks are provided, both hot and cold (with the exception of formula). Diapers are provided. RATES: $55 per day for full day (more than 5 hours and no more than 10 hours). *$40 for each additional sibling/cousin. $35 per day for 1/2 day (less than 5 hours). *$25 for each additional sibling/cousin. $250 Full-time & 5 days per week. *$200 for each additional sibling/cousin. $60 for overnighters (up to 12 hours).
