Bouncing Bunnies Family Daycare

40 Russells Way Westford, MA

< 1 mi

At Bouncing Bunnies Family Daycare, we are dedicated to creating a happy and stimulating environment that offers love, acceptance, and a place where every child feels safe and secure. Here, the safety, needs, and happiness of all children is our top priority. With over fifteen years of experience in the family childcare and preschool settings, we strongly believe that play is the work of young children. It is with this philosophy that we have created our environment, placing an emphasis on learning through play and exploration. Young minds are given the opportunity to grow and to create their own worlds through imaginary play, using all five senses to learn about everyday wonders. Our program is designed to allow children to socialize and interact with their young peers, while offering them the opportunity to play and explore in a variety of inventive, age-appropriate activities. Additionally, we enjoy a seasonal curriculum that focuses on the highlights that each season offers. We engage in a hands-on, sensory experience through arts-and-crafts and interactive story time. When the weather permits us to do so, we spend the majority of our time outside. With ride-on toys, a swing set, and neighborhood walks, we allow for an exploration of nature, exercise of gross motor skills, and an outdoor experience that is always fun-filled. My years as a mother and childcare provider have taught me innumerable lessons, such as the value of fostering creative thinking; the importance of outdoor play, musical enjoyment, and story time; as well as the power of independent reading, problem solving and self-help skills. I always discuss any concerns - physical or behavioral - with parents, and I view strong communication between families and myself with the highest regard. Although it's always sad to see the children grow up and move on from my home daycare to preschool or pre-K, parents can be confident that their children are prepared to thrive and succeed in a larger environment. Thank you for your interest in our program, and I look forward to working with you and seeing your little ones grow!

Ms. Barbie is a certified preschool teacher with an associates degree in Early Education.

We offer a preschool curriculum which includes teaching the children their numbers, letters, colors and shapes. The program is geared towards children aged 3 and up. Depending on the child s individual assessment, we may start the program early if the child can demonstrate a basic knowledge and understanding. We also do sound recognition and basic adding and subtracting skills. The emphasis is on the children having fun learning. We want their first experiences in a school like environment to be positive and to promote a lifelong love of learning It is my personal belief that if a certain child is not ready for the program, I do not force it on them. I feel by doing so, I would only have a negative impact on their desires to learn in the future. This is not to say I will not push and challenge them to learn, just that it will not be pushed on them if they are not quite capable. They seem to let you know when they are ready. Small cues are noticeable such as wanting to join in the reading or just a general level of interest in what the other children are learning.

Denise B. says "I have known Christine for years and she runs a wonderful child care program. Anyone would be extremely satisfied contracting care with Christine."

If you're looking for a loving and warm caregiver to watch your kids- you've found her! I am a loving SAHM looking to care for your children in my home. I have three wonderful children of my own. A 12.5 year old daughter, a 8.5 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son. They are all sweetnatured and well- behaved. The girls will be in school for a full day come Fall and I will only have my 5 year old son. I have 5 years experience running a daycare out of my home. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and preschool aged kids. I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with a playground in the backyard. I am conveniently located off of Route 3, Main Dunstable Area. As a Childcare Provider, my goal is to create and foster a loving and safe environment for your children. While your child is in my care, a typical day may include: Playing indoor and outdoor games, reading, free play, cooking, crafts, puzzles, circle time, music and movement, and gross motor play. We also like to take field trips to the park, the library, the mall, indoor playgrounds, museums, zoos, and go on nature walks and other special places like farms. Since my son is 5 years old, I plan to implement a kindergarten curriculum that I will teach to him and any in-coming children. The focus will be on counting, identifying numbers, Identifying letters and their sounds, simple sight words, rhyming, learning to write your name, social skills, learning to share and also more hands on learning like planting a seed and seeing what it becomes. I also like to cover character principles: learning to be kind, to share, to be helpful, patient, etc. Plus, we will be working with play dough, kinetic sand, and art supplies to help strengthen their fine motor skills for writing in the future. I also have a finished basement filled with toys and activities for children, with a large area to run around and get their energy out. We usually have a lot of fun and the day flies by. I would welcome your children into our family and would treat them as my own. Tidbits to know: -We file our taxes and will adhere to the rules for tax deductions for having a business out of our home. -References are available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!

Donnelly's Darlings is a Family Child Care where education is as important as happy, healthy kids! Learning in this early stage should be fun and interactive but in a safe and strict environment. I feel children will learn more if they are kept involved and interested. "One of the biggest tricks of teaching is to stay in charge and still give the children freedom. The goal is freedom within limits. Without limits, classrooms and homes can become chaotic. Children need structure. They need the safety that comes from knowing there are boundaries on what they can and cannot do (Maryln Appelbaum of Appelbaum Training Institute)." Continuing to learn and try out new curriculum or activities are important here for the provider and any assistants as well.
