I have watched children in my home forever but now they are all in school. I need to find more children to fill the empty spots and to help people to not have to pay center prices. I love spending time with the children and watching them learn thru play. Every child is special and deserves to have the best care.

At Alphabet Academy, our program focuses on learning for life. Working with the sensitive periods Montessori observed and identified in children birth to 6 years of age, our environment is designed to harness opportunities which naturally present themselves and influence your child’s development. During each sensitive period, your child is inherently motivated to intensely focus on a particular aspect of their environment without ceasing – absorbing experiences like a sponge. It is through these experiences that your child builds social and academic foundations – foundations they will use the rest of their life.

Hi! I'm Patty Hotka and I'm starting an in-home child care this fall of 2016. Opening date is Tuesday, September 6th. We have 3 full time openings for children infant to 5 years. We are located near Beaverdale and across the street from Witmer park. My home is safe, clean, smoke free, and pet free. We love to be outside! We have group time where we sing and listen to stories and educational and creative activities for toddler to preschool, in many academic areas. We believe in quality care and education in early childhood, as well as whole child education. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I've worked as a preschool teacher and have worked in or have experience in classrooms of all early childhood ages. I have worked in childcare for 11 years and love what I do. I am passionate about children growing and developing. I was most recently a nanny for a wonderful family for 4 1/2 years and am transitioning to in-home care as it is something I've always wanted to do. I would love to meet you and your little one(s)! Contact me by email for an interview, to see the home and to see if we would be a good fit for each other.
