I'm currently trying to start my own in home daycare. I've only got two years professional experience (I worked at a daycare in the infant and toddler rooms and I was a nanny to a amazing one year old.) However I have taken care of children my whole life. Those two years were the best because it didn't feel like a job. My husband and I own our house. It has a nice big fenced in yard. We have two friendly dogs and a bird. I will offer balanced meals and snacks. When it's nice we will go to the park located in town and with permission perhaps the pool or zoo in the summer. Anything you want to know just ask

**Currently looking to fill Fall 2016 spots for teacher's schedule only!** I am a stay-at-home mom and in-home child care provider looking to provide quality care for your little ones. I have three children, a 9 year old son, and 5 and 3 year old daughters that all enjoy meeting new friends. Prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom, I was a preschool teacher for 5 years after graduating from ISU. I loved being a preschool teacher, and I have implemented many aspects of my teaching days into my days at home. I stick to a flexible schedule and try to plan activities ahead of time to keep the little minds engaged each day. The kids' interests lead the plans and activities most of the time and I strongly believe in learning through PLAY! I love to work some education in with the fun as well. We live within walking distance to a park so if we aren't outside at home, we are walking around the ponds at the park or playing on the playground equipment! We enjoy all of our other outings as well, to the library, spray park, the zoo, etc.! I currently provide care for two families: brother and sister (ages 4 &amp; 2) and part-time, another little boy (age 2.) I would love to meet you and your kids and provide great care that you can trust. Please contact me to set up a meeting!

When your child joins us for their early education, you can feel confident that we’re going to make their experience as rich and rewarding as possible. Annual assessments are one way we make sure we’re helping your child meet their academic and social-emotional milestones or make up for interrupted learning.

I am a mom of four 11, 9, 7 and 4. Now that my kids are older and in school I want to start up caring for children again. My passion and love has always been for children. I come from a large family of 4 brothers and 3 sisters. I started doing babysitting jobs at age 11 through high school and then started doing nanny jobs while in college. After I started having my own children I started doing in home care. I have experience with twins and special needs children. My youngest child is also special needs physically. So I definitely have a heart for special needs children. The ages I am specifically looking for is 0-4 but am willing to broaden that depending on the situation. I have room for 1 to 2 children. The reason I love doing in home care is that I can give each child a lot of attention that they need and deserve. Other than my own four children who are in school now, I will only have 1-2 extra children at a time. This way I can always give your children the care that they need.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Polk City, IA

Drop-in daycare near you in Polk City, IA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

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 Polk City, IA, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Polk City, IA 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. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. 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 Polk City, IA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
