Marvelous Imaginations Child Care

Inquire Within Rochester, MN

5 mi

My mission in child care is to guide children through the obstacles of daily life with a vote of confidence that will allow for a high self-esteem, independence, and grace. I believe that a respectful environment for yourself and your peers can enable play to thrive. Manners and kindness will be focused on each day in group time. I strongly encourage children to use their imaginations to create higher-level play. Video games, tablets, and cellphone play is not allowed at Marvelous Imaginations. Television will be limited to 30 minutes if it is a part of the daily curriculum; some exception will be made for pajama and movie days. Imaginations are like muscles in our bodies. In order for them to grow, you must exercise them to whole new levels! Imagination in childhood will lead to better coping skills, creativity, and social ability into adulthood. Last but certainly not least, I believe children should be well-rounded. Opening each child's world to new things allows for them to like change and expect the unexpected in a positive light. With this in mind, we will change each week's curriculum and the children will have a vote in the topics we choose for the following month. If they have a strong interest in the solar system or how many types of flowers are in the world, we will take all of their ideas and work them into a week long adventure. Although children need self-play time, they also need interactive, learning time each day. Direction and structure are tools I will use to allow your child to learn all that they can while in my care. I look forward to getting to know your child and family. With each child brings a new journey and a more fulfilling day in the life of a professional child care provider!

Hello! I'm a stay at home mom with three great kids, a 7.5 year old boy, a 5 year old girl, and a 2.5 year old girl. I'm hoping to provide childcare in my home for one child! We are new to Rochester, MN, where my husband is a pastor. We are a happy family that laughs a lot! I have a Bachelor's in Psychology, experience in childcare, and personal references. We enjoy baking, taking walks outside, playing in our fenced-in yard, crafts, nature, and free play in our play room. TV is limited. Our home is pet, smoke, fragrance and harsh chemical free. We are also allergy aware, since 2 of our children have food allergies. Please contact me if you think we might be the right family for your child to spend time with!
We're a local and family-owned child care center. We are located in NW Rochester. Our staff are educated and highly experienced. We strive to make parents and children feel at home when choosing to work with us.

I am a home daycare provider currently caring for my 3-month-old grandson. I am looking to add one family to my daycare setting ASAP. My experience includes raising two children, previously having an in-home daycare, extensive volunteer work with all ages in the Rochester Public School District, and most recently I worked for 13 years for the PAIIR ECFE Program in the Rochester Public School District. My hope would be to find a family needing care for one or two children in the infant/toddler/preschool age range but I am not opposed to early elementary as well. I currently use a preschool curriculum, 1-2-3 Learn Curriculum (an on-line curriculum) as well as curriculum ideas from PreschoolMom.com and other on-line resources. I also bring 13 years experience in an ECFE Family Literacy program, working with a diverse population here in Rochester. In those last 13 years, I have had background checks through Childcare Resource &amp; Referral and the Rochester Public School District. I would be able to provide references upon request.

I am a fun & loving mother of two boys. I take great pride in their learning adventures of life, the great outdoors, letters, numbers, vocabulary, colors, shapes, books,writing, behavior. etc. I love children and it brings me a lot of joy to watch them grow into their own little person. Watch their milestones and their confidence grow! Children's early learning is so important for their futures that lay ahead of them! The daily activities that I provide for your child/children will include but not limited to Arts and craft activities, coloring, story time through out the day, building blocks, pretend play, music, song & dance, games, flash cards, physical activity indoors & outdoors for exercise, walks to the park, outdoor picnics, (weather permitting),spring time planting. All activities promote fun learning, and enhance fine and large motor skills, language & good behavior. I take great pride in my Day Care, it is very important today more then ever that children can be cared for in a safe, inviting, loving environment. Where they have fun while learning new things on a daily basis. I am on the Child Care Resource and Referral food program, you can feel satisfied that your child will be eating healthy meals and snacks with portion control. This will help your child build a foundation of healthy eating habits throughout life. I off the baby can read program....This is a program with five different levels which include videos, flash cards, and books! The videos are short and have words, objects, people, animals, shapes, colors, song and dance breaks to keep your child interested & more involved. Your child will have fun & feel confident when they learn. This program focus more on the shape of the word to your child's memory rather then learning the alphabet first. The whole program takes several months to complete and can be repeated when finished. You should notice your child knowing many words and pronouncing them well! Every child will have different results so please don't be discouraged. I show the video twice a day (2-3 times a day is recommended) once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The best time to show it is when kids are more calm down either before or after a nap. I do not force children to watch the video, however it takes a couple weeks for the kiddos to get into the videos. The full time children that watch it everyday will benefit more and will have more located next to Gage elementary Smoke free home Liability insurance

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Rochester, MN
