A unique day care that provides the stimulating curriculum of a center in the comfort of a warm, nurturing home environment. In business since 1988. Program is for children 18 months to 5 years old. Hours 7:30am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. Full-time and part-time openings available. Monthly enrichment programs are planned for the children. Low teacher/child ratio. CDA recipient, Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, Member NAEYC, NAFCC, All Our Kin (Norwalk/Stamford area) and the Greater Norwalk Family Child Care Association. On any given day you can find us singing, dancing, puzzle solving, working with play dough, dramatic play, cooking, painting, reading or dictating stories about a picture. Outside play is a daily occurrence. We enjoy walks, fresh air and exercise in a fully fenced-in playground. My passion is working with young children to spark their interest and curiosity to learn and to increase their self-esteem. Everyone is special in their own way. I love to see them expand their horizons. They can accomplish anything they set their minds to! They have to just keep trying and work hard at it. They can do it! Every year I seek out additional training to enhance my knowledge of working with young children. You can check us out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidskastlefamilydaycare

A childcare provider that assumes responsibility for the care, growth, and development of children in their parent's absence. A daycare that meets the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and more. Infants need continuity of caregivers to form strong loving relationships that help them feel secure. Infants have the need to develop body movements and explore the world around them while being provided an environment that is safe and as unrestricted as possible. Toddlers are busy and energetic, persistent, and wants to be independent, we encourage our toddlers to do things on their own; as they are working to become independent and self-directed. Preschoolers are natural learners. They love to play, and they learn best through play experiences. Curious and energetic, generally happy, and eager to explore the world around them. Beginner Steps Daycare develops a curriculum considering all the domains of the individual child, what can be challenged, what can be scaffold, and what needs to be structured or unstructured, so every child grows developmentally and educationally. Representing a warm, loving family atmosphere. After all, when you realize that society's most important resource is our children, you begin to see the reason why Beginner Steps Daycare feels this is one of the most important jobs in the world. All meals included, only organic food served whether we are eating or planting our vegetables with organic dirt.

References can speak to the true quality of my care, which comes from years of experience. I also have 500 hours of counseling education as it pertains to childcare, a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, and am working towards a Master's degree in the same field.

I had been a licensed family daycare for thirteen years in Florida, and am now licensed in Connecticut. I have my National Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, National Association for Family Childcare Accreditation. And I continually update my education in this profession. Your child will be involved in many age appropriate activities such as stories, music, art projects, drawing, educational materials, group and individual play, as well as free play. While I provide many different activities, it is important that your child maintain a daily schedule with routine times for naps and meal time. It is my personal goal to not only expose your child to the wonders of learning and sharing, but to do so in a positive, happy, safe and clean environment. Warm regards, Rafaela

FAQs for finding a family daycare near you in New Canaan, CT

When looking for a family daycare near you in New Canaan, CT, 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 New Canaan, CT, 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.

When choosing family daycare near you in New Canaan, CT, it is essential to be thorough! 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.
