I have been doing daycare in my home for many years. I watch infants thru 3 yrs. I do know CPR and First Aid from working in a hospital for 20 years. I am the mother of 6. I'm a Christian mother with a clean environment for your child and will take 3 children only. I like to be able to play and interact with them so I keep my daycare small. If you can go to work and feel your child is safe then I'm doing my job. I charge 35.00 per day, that is $ 4.30 for 8 hours

I was a pre-k teacher for over 4 years and I totally loved it. I have had my in home daycare for over 4 years. I have been CPR certified, drug/ tb tested, full background checked, finger-printed, and I have several childcare and teaching training done. I am safe sleep certified. I am also continuing to get more training done. I have a portfolio available. I am a Mom of a 24 year old son. He is married and has a 1 year old baby girl . He graduated from Vincennes University, down in Vincennes, Indiana. He studied to be a law officer. I am so proud of him. I am married and have been for a little over 5 years. My husband is a gem! I have babysat children for years while raising my son, our home was always the neighborhood kids' hangout. I am excited to keep on this journey of taking care of children in my home. I was working in a state licensed level 4 childcare academy for a year and I loved it. I learned a lot and want to keep helping children get ready for school and have a safe, fun place while parents are working. I was a single Mom for years so I know how important safety and trust is. I plan on teaching what they need to know to start kindergarten and have fun playing games, doing crafts, coloring, and just learning how to get along with others. I love to cook, so the children will get healthy, good, home cooking for breakfast and lunch. Snacks will also be provided. I am always available for any questions. I have several references. As a Mom myself, I would suggest, please visit all the daycares you are interested in before your decision. Going cheaper isn't always better. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you. Tammy McClain

Our home is in the Spring/Runnion area. I have worked with children for 15 years between working at centers, running my own in home daycare, and being a legal guardian. I am looking for younger children to care for from home. It will be a very loving home and caring for them like they are my own, not so much a focused curriculum. We will go to parks, on walks, to the library, play dates and even grocery shopping depending on the day and the amount of children I have. If you are looking for childcare, or know someone that is, I would love to hear from you!

Hello! Previous to building my in home family daycare, I worked full time outside of my home. As a mother of 4 active boys, I realize the importance of this decision and how hard it is for you to make. That feeling is exactly what compelled me to research and open my very own in home family day care: for other parents' peace of mind. It is my goal to provide you with quality, professional childcare. I look forward to meeting you and your family! -Meggie Knecht

My daughter and I provide childcare in her NE Fort Wayne home. Purpose: To provide a safe and nurturing environment which promotes physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development for young children interwoven with Christian principles. Curriculum Areas of focus include self-expression, preschool academics, large and fine motor development, and the introduction of social skills. Encouraging children to be actively involved in the learning process. The play area offers many opportunities for children to manipulate a wide variety of materials; to play alone and with others in sensory, constructive, and symbolic activities; to ask questions and develop concepts about themselves and their world; to be physically active, and to express themselves in words, art, and music. Cleanliness: To ensure our environment is as safe as possible proper hand washing is encouraged throughout the day and lessons about health and hygiene are taught. Floors are cleaned daily and toys are disinfected regularly throughout the day. W use precautions and wear disposable gloves to impede the spread of germs while preparing all meals, snacks, and during diapering. Diapering is conducted in a separate area from the children's play area.
