Some things I am interested in are soccer, caring for children, swimming, coaching, hiking, and the ocean. I also enjoy spending time with my family, especially with my nephews. :) I have been caring for children for a little over 10 years now. I started off babysitting a set of twins who were, at the time, newborns, and watched them until they were 6 years old regularly, about 2-3 times a week. In high school I worked for a school district as an ESS Leader. I worked with a variety of age groups, all elementary school children, but worked mainly with the 2nd and 3rd graders. In this job we would work on homework, do arts and crafts, play organized sports outside, play educational games, and put on shows, plays, chorus performances, etc. After I graduated, while attending college, I worked as a nanny for three children, two of which had special needs. One child, who was 6 when I started working with him, was autistic. One, who was 8 when I started, had Down syndrome, and their sister was 7. I worked with them for 4 years. With them, we would do learning games, flashcards, homework, play soccer, swim, all kinds of things. I also lived with them, as their mother was a single parent, so I helped with cooking, cleaning, and errands.

We believe that a safe, stable, healthy and culturally relevant environment is crucial to a child's growth. Through the cooperative partnership of parents and staff, we provide a model of community that will sustain and enrich our children throughout their lives. FAQ Q: What age range do you accept? Generally, we only accept infants who are 18 months and older. However, we may make an exception for a child who can walk and feed him/her self. If your child doesn't have these skills, it's best for you to sign up for our waiting list. However, we will except school age students for drop-in purposes. We understand that families need services when their school may have an extended holiday break or school closer dates. Q: Do you have a cut off age? Yes. Our enrollment cut-off age is four-years-old. We strongly believe that children need to graduate from childcare to preschool at age four. Just as students in an elementary, middle and high school are usually grouped by age, we find that the four-year-olds are ready to break away from the toddlers and infants to prepare for kindergarten. Q: Do you accept part-time enrollments? I was thinking of using a childcare service for two or three days a week. As a family childcare home, we have a limited number of students we can enroll. It doesn't make sense for us to allocate space for part-time students. You are welcome to enroll your child on a full-time basis and not send him/her every day. But we do charge full tuition for every child regardless of the number of days he/she attends. Q: What are your hours? Our regular hours are from 7:30 to 5:30. Ther

Our program is Eco-Friendly, so we want to emphasize the importance of children being outdoors so they may learn natural processes and become knowledgeable and appreciative of nature. We do organic gardening. We compost our food scraps in compost bins and through vermi-composting. We do rainwater harvesting, and use grey-water to water the fruit trees. We have even gone solar! We offer healthy meals and snacks. We provide foods that are minimally processed and mostly organic. We strive to follow The Environmental Working Group's, "Shoppers Guide To Pesticides in Produce". We serve "family" style. It is great when we are able to eat what we have harvested from our trees and gardens! We recognize each child as an unique individual. We seek to provide the most appropriate learning experience for your child by creating an environment that is child-guided and developmentally based. Our program provides children with the freedom of choice within structure, which encourages the development of problem-solving skills, self-reliance, and socialization. We believe that play is an important part of a child's day. When children play, they construct their own knowledge of the world, physically, cognitively, socially, and this is the most meaningful type of knowledge. By observing how and what type of play the children are engaged in, this helps us determine the activities and experiences to offer the children.
