I am licensed by the Sate of Washington. Little Caritas Home Daycare is dedicated to the growth of young children. My goal is to surround children with a safe, sharing, caring learning and growing environment. This nurturing atmosphere enhances and stimulates the development of a child's body, mind and spirit. My methods are centered on that goal and my knowledge that children learn through active manipulation of the environment and concrete experiences.

My name is Caren Barnes and I am now accepting children 2-10 years old. My Friend's House Childcare has been licensed for 30 years. The childcare is kept very clean and we wash hands throughout the day. Unlike other childcare where the children are constantly sick, children here rarely ever caught colds or other illnesses. I have a two year degree in Early Childhood Education and a BA in Elementary Education. I provide a structured preschool program that will get your child ready for kindergarten and offer tutoring for school age children. In the preschool, children learn their ABCs, colors, shapes, calendar, how to write their names, site words, paint, cut and paste art projects and play with play-dough. I love reading books and allow the children to select which book they would like me to read. With a stack of books in hand, we all get cozy on the couch as I read their favorite books with animation and expression. The children grow to love story time at my childcare and learn a love for reading at a young age. As a family home childcare, I provide a nurturing, educational environment, with a focus on seeing your child develop to his or her full potential. I also have a large fenced yard with many activities to choose from. Please give me a call! I would love to have you over for an initial visit with your child.

FAQs for finding a family daycare near you in Federal Way, WA

When looking for a family daycare near you in Federal Way, WA, the most important thing to consider is the safety, comfort, and well-being of your child. Depending on your family's needs, make sure to inquire about the family daycare provider's experience in caring for children of similar ages. Ask about their qualifications, resources available for learning and development, such as toys or educational materials. Additionally, consider inquiring about how the family daycare provider structures their days; if they provide meals or snacks; and if they allow you to have a tour of their facility. It is also important that you feel comfortable with the family daycare provider and that they understand your family's values and priorities. Taking these points into consideration when selecting a family daycare can help ensure that your child has a safe and nurturing environment in which to thrive.

When selecting a family daycare provider, families may want to consider factors such as location, value for costs, hours of operation, and licensing requirements and monitoring standards. Additionally, it is worth evaluating any safety regulations in place at the facility and paying attention to reviews from past or current clients. Upon visiting the family daycare near you in Federal Way, WA, there should be a sense that it is clean and well-organized, and the staff should be friendly and welcoming. All of these aspects help ensure that not only are the family's needs met and children are receiving the best possible care.

Consider what's most important to you and when choosing a child care provider, and don't be afraid to ask questions when interviewing potential daycares. You should also schedule a visit to meet with the family daycare provider and observe the environment. You may ask them questions such as: How does the daycare staff interact with the children? Are there toys, materials, and appropriate activities for the age group of children in their care? Are there any qualifications, certifications, background checks, and child-to-adult ratio of staff information they can share with you? All of these questions as well as any additional considerations that are important to you should help you make an informed decision.
