I am an in home day care with 15 years experience. I have worked with children of all ages and disabilities. I ran an after school craft club, volunteered with Special Olympics, worked with Boy Scouts of America, worked in a day care center as well as babysat and been a nanny for several years. I am Christian based, so good morals and values will be taught. I am currently working on becoming tri-lingual in Spanish and Sign Language. I offer tutoring, homework help, infant care, and educational activities for children. I live near two parks and have a decent sized yard in a neighborhood full of children. I do have one shy, and loving cat who would stay out of the children's way when playing and napping. I have state clearances in certificate form as well as medical training as a CNA and I am in school online for Clinical Psychology. You can rest assured that your children will be in great hands.

I have had extensive experience as a baby-sitter and at one time I was a teacher's aide for special needs children. I am confident in the skills that I have acquired from my education, experience and believe I would be a great match for most children. What words cannot express is my professional demeanor as well as my ability to possess patients as well as understanding when dealing with children. In the childcare field, these qualities are of the utmost importance in dealing with parents as well as children. In me, you'll discover a reliable, detail-oriented, extremely hard-working person and wants only the best for the children I care for. One who will serve as a role model and encourage children. I prefer to care for children from my home but I am willing to travel a short distance if needed.

Welcome to Kids & Company Schaffner! This location was formerly called “Aa to Zz”, but has since been purchased by Kids & Company and now operates with our staff and proprietary programming. Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff. We are located in West Hanover Township, in the Brynfield Development area, near the corner of Hershey Rd. and Green Hill Rd. Our standalone building is set back far from the road, and the residential environment provides a quiet and private place for children to learn. We have a large parking lot that parents can use during pick-up and drop-off, and do not recommend this location for parents travelling by transit as the nearest bus stop is about 3.5 miles away. Inside the building, you’ll find large windows that let in lots of natural light and an architectural design that uniquely suits daycares. Along with colorful and bright classrooms, we also have a cafeteria and a gross motor room for children to get physically active during inclement weather. Outside we have 2 large and separate fenced-in playgrounds, one dedicated to toddlers and the other for preschoolers. Each area is equipped with age-appropriate structures and toys that children use to develop their gross motor skills. We also have chickens that the children love to help take care of! Our 8 classrooms can accommodate 92 children in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten Prep, and School Age programs. The School Age program runs as Before and After School care, School Break care, and Summer Camp. Transit from East Hanover, Paxtonia Elementary, Mt. View, Lingelstown and South Hanover elementary schools are provided with additional cost. Children that are 6 years and under are welcome on a full-time or part-time (3 full days or 5 half days) basis, with backup care being available on an ad-hoc basis. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them. We serve our children breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day, all prepared in our on-site kitchens. Formula is also available for our Infants. We are proud members of the Keystone STARS (Standards, Training/Professional Development, Assistance, Resources, and Supports) program, a quality rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-age child care. A Keystone STARS designation means that children are in a safe, respectful environment in which they are learning new things every day to support their current and future successes in school and in life.

A little about myself: My name is Breanna and I'm 22 years old, married, with 2 kids. I have a 3 year old and a 7 week old. We are from South Jersey but now live just outside of Elizabethtown PA in Lancaster County. I love the outdoors, animals, arts &amp; crafts, and baking! A little about our house and play area: We have a large house with a big backyard for playing outside, and a little fenced in area as well. We also have a large outside porch with picnic tables. I have an indoor play area, our Enrichment Room, that is gated off from the rest of the house. It is baby proofed and has plenty of interactive as well as self play toys. We have books, learning toys, coloring, and pretend play and so much more. We have toys ranging from baby to young child. We are always working on obtaining more enrichment and educational items for our play space, including outdoor play items. What makes my daycare different is I cater to your child's needs. My schedule follows your child's schedule. I know how difficult change can be on a child, so I will always try to keep your child's schedule the same as much as possible. I do not provide snacks/food so please bring anything your child may need to eat throughout the day. I provide a clean, home like atmosphere for your child to play, learn through different toys and activities, as well as get a chance to interact with other children of different ages. Toys are cleaned regularly as I am very cautious with germs and want to avoid spreading any illnesses. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your child/children.

We believe that children learn best when they feel safe and are able to actively explore the world around them. Through a balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities, we strive to enrich a child's social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. We provide hands-on learning experiences through math, science, art and literacy activities in order to encourage children to become lifelong learners. We believe that in addition to being well-qualified early childhood educators, teachers should be trained and experienced in positive classroom management, to help children build problem solving and relationship skills. We know that quality early childhood and school-age programs value and actively promote a partnership with children's families. We encourage families to communicate with us regularly and stay updated on your child's daily classroom activities.

My name is Alicia, and I am opening an In-Home Daycare in the beginning of February. Previously, I was a preschool teacher at one of the Goddard schools in the area. From working there I have gained a lot of knowledge on how to effectively run a fun and nurturing learning environment. I absolutely loved my job as a teacher, and getting to interact with the children. The only reason I have now decided to start a daycare; is because in November I gave birth to my daughter and would like the opportunity to stay home with her, but to still be able to put my skills and love for teaching and caring for children to use. Also, from working at the preschool, I have all state mandated clearances including a Pennsylvania Abuse History Clearance, National Background Check as well as a State Police Background Check, child care references, and CPR, First Aid and Fire Safety training. I am looking to watch 3 children, full-time if possible, in my home in Middletown, Pennsylvania. My hours are very flexible Monday through Friday to best meet the needs of the families I will be providing services for. Weekends occasionally, if needed, may be provided. I will be providing any meals and snacks that the children need, unless there are specific needs, allergies, or substitutes made by parents; or if the child is still formula/breastfeeding or still on baby food. I will strive to create of fun and nurturing environment where your children can grow and learn, and provide them with fun activities that they can engage in to stimulate them and get their little minds thinking. I will encourage reading, art, and fun outdoor activities in appropriate weather as well. I will do whatever I can to best accommodate the families that I work with to make them feel as comfortable and as much like family as I can! The specifics such as hours and pay rate can be discussed upon inquiry. I am looking forward to working with you and your little ones as soon as possible!
