Hello, I am a licensed Child Care provider in the Catonsville, MD area. Having been in the business for 14 years, I am extremely passionate about child care. I offer a fun, structured, nurturing environment. I provide a planned curriculum for early learners including a variety of activities to encourage motor speech and cognitive development. I absolutely love what I do and love all my children. I have received most of my children from word of mouth. I get many referrals from others and have excellent references. I have cared for many children who started at just a few months old, until they left to enter kindergarten. Some of the things that I focus on are: Alphabet/Numbers Colors/Shapes Singing Blocks Walking/Exploring Arts/Crafts Dance/Music I believe that children crave constant stimulation from their environment and interactions with their caretaker, so that is my daily goal. I focus on their mental and physical ability to complete various tasks. I realize every child is at a different level, I build from their weaknesses and improve their strengths. I have a large play area in the house with lots of toys and play structures; as well as outside in the yard. I believe that open and honest communication between parent and caregiver is essential in our successful partnership.

I have been caring for children for 26 years. My licensed home daycare is a more personable alternative to large centers. I believe entrusting your family childcare needs to my daycare gives children the added security of being cared for in a loving, active home environment while still giving parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their children are under the supervision of a trained, licensed professional. I am grateful and overjoyed that most of my daycare families stay with us until their children either enter kindergarten or the family relocates out of the area. I believe that success and growth come from encouragement and praise. I focus on building every child's self esteem and confidence through positive feedback and rewards. I place a strong emphasis on activities that create bonds between the children through arts and crafts, dance, and confidence building activities.

During class time children participate in a fun array of activities including circle time, finger play, read-alouds, arts-and- crafts, phoneme and number awareness and more! Among the many subjects emphasized, children develop skills such as critical thinking, team work, independence and social interaction. The school's course of study utilizes a nationally acclaimed curriculum whose methods have been proven to prepare toddlers for kindergarten. The school's living classroom is host to a number of butterflies and local wildlife. Children delight in their observations and the staff takes every opportunity to expand on the children's' natural curiosity by incorporating science- based philosophies in real time applications. As an added bonus to the preschool classes for the little ones, staff, parents and children additionally get together weekly for Mommy & Me planned activities. The school's weekly social time is a time for the school community to relax, swap stories, share concerns, encourage each other, make friends and of course, have fun! With the exception of Kindermusic lessons, most play-date activities are appropriate for infants and toddlers, so please feel free to bring along siblings to let them join in the fun! During music lessons the program plans to have an extra pair of hands on site to lend support.
