Every single day I am trying to give the children the basic foundations of life. Number one for me is good manners! From there we move to every academic piece that they must learn, like the alphabet, days of the week, to reading and writing on their own. We use phonics to teach reading and children excel at this. My favorite goal for the children is that they learn how to write the letters of their first name by the time they leave my program. Every day is new with the children, I love working with them precisely because they are so creative and full of ideas. I can lay out some supplies on a table and they turn it into a project I couldn't even foresee. I've found that they already have all of the wisdom and knowledge within them, all I do is give them some guidance and they create beautiful things! I also have a full staff at all times in the program. Safety, health, learning, and fun are incredibly important to me with the children. I bring a level of love, attention, and care that every child deserves. What is NeighborSchools?

During a typical day at Maria's Family Daycare, when the children arrive, I greet them and show them how to remove their jackets and wash their hands. I tell them to play for a few minutes while Ms. Maria gets breakfast ready, and when they are finished, we wash hands, and they go back to playing while I clean up. Then we do diaper changes and wash hands to get ready for circle time. We sing the ABCs and start the day by asking who knows what day it is. I have songs for each day of the week. We break for a few minutes and get the materials ready for the next activity of the day. After that, we clean up and do some body exercises - sometimes we do free play and other times we make a circle and start to dance. I observe the children during this time and take notes. I use a curriculum program called Curriculo de Primera Infancia. Days include science, math, music, and reading time, all of which are tailored to our theme of the day. For example, children use plastic scissors to try to cut paper and show what is around them, and in our community. I have lots of photos and clothes for dress up in the Dramatic Play area - along with fruits and vegetables. I also teach them about healthy habits and the parts of the body. I share different cultures through food, language and photos. At mealtime, I show them how to sit well and use good manners to chew with their mouths closed and use a napkin. I show them it is important to eat healthily. I also show them how to discard leftovers in the trash and that we don't touch anything else until hands are washed and we have brushed our teeth.

Throughout the day, we have circle time, reading and storytelling, exploring with toys, outdoor activities, free time or learning depending on the child's age, along with naps, snacks, and meals. One activity we love is dancing and singing, which develops fine and gross motor skills of the children, and they love it! We take pride in bringing the children of all ages together to build their social skills and learn how to be part of a team. We also encourage the kids to develop their creative expression through dramatic play, stars, whichever activity they decide to express themselves through. What is NeighborSchools?

Welcome To Little Llama! At Little Llama Child Care, we provide a well-rounded learning experience for your child by focusing on their physical and emotional well-being, fostering their curiosity, and encouraging them to become adventurous and active. We proudly offer a better teacher to child ratio than most schools in the area and ensure our parents are always very involved. Your child's safety and well-being are our utmost priority, which is why we provide excellent service that promotes happy and healthy kids! Our teachers utilize an eye-to-eye teaching method, getting on your child's level to help encourage engagement, acceptance, and understanding. We teach our kids to respect other people's boundaries and think about how their actions can affect others. We send home daily pictures and notes detailing your child's experiences, so you always know what their day entailed. Our preschool program was just opened so we currently have just a couple of students with 2 teachers all the time, so if you think that you child is a bit shy in a big setting or requires some extra time and attention to adjust to a new environment, than this program will be a perfect fit for your little one. Plus (in my opinion), it’s easier for preschoolers to start together as a new group other than joining an already formed group. Our program is exceptionally interactive and fun! We like messy activities, experiments, and new experiences! We love being outdoors! We have weekly music classes with an amazing teacher and adding more classes for our curriculum!

I was excited to start my own family child care program in 2018 to be able to bring something new to the care options for parents. I am proud that my program is unique in that we embrace bringing creative arts to the young children, such as art, music, and theater. Our program believes Integrated learning is much more than just exposure to different forms of art while at school. Arts is an approach to teaching and learning in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. We use various forms of art (drama, music, storytelling, puppets, visual arts, and creative movement) as primary pathways to learning. We work with each child to foster their developmental skills in each area by implementing a creative curriculum to do lesson plans, etc. The children go on field trips to the library, children's museum, zoo, Aquarium, Puppet museum, and indoor play area seasonally. While we follow a creative arts curriculum, we do change activities often throughout the day and have the typical circle time, we build with blocks, the kids learn science, and more. In terms of schedule, we are structured as a preschool might operate, but the kids get so much more with creative arts and a home setting in the mix. What is NeighborSchools?
