Home Daycare and Preschool for Ages 2 Years to 5 Years. Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to helping you with your child care needs. At my home daycare and preschool, we prepare children for the next stage of their lives through the development of motor abilities, thinking skills, and healthy interactions with their peers. A comfortable space that provides a balance of freedom and instruction to nurture your child. Be sure to check out my company website above for more info and the photo gallery or go to www.zalidaycare.wixsite.com/littlefriendsdaycare ABOUT US: I put a lot of heart in planning, designing, and innovating my professional daycare and preschool. With 15 years of childcare experience, I'm here to nurture, guide, and support the little ones throughout their day. Preschool activities are grouped accordingly, with younger children encouraged and assisted in activities and learning. If you're still looking for both, excellent childcare and a preschool program, I would love an opportunity to develop your child at Little Friends Home Daycare and Preschool. THE PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM: -In my learning playgroup, the children not only build vital skills for kindergarten, but also gain respect for others, and develop a strong sense of confidence. The activities are divided into age appropriate groups to bring the richest experience for your child. -The Funshine Express Preschool Curriculum, which is aligned to the Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards, is utilized for our preschoolers. It's a high quality, professionally designed early learning program that helps create enthusiasm for learning and builds school readiness skills. The curriculum is based on current research and sound educational theories for early childhood. ABOUT THE HOME DAYCARE: I have a large play area with lots of stimulating colors and no knick-knacks to avoid, so the children are free to actively explore. There are all the necessary safety features needed in a home to keep your child safe. It's also smoke-free, pet-free, with a quiet area for nap time. In addition, my spacious backyard will keep the kids climbing, sliding, and having fun on those beautiful weather days. AGES 2 YEARS TO 5 YEARS -Preschool Program (Fun-Shine Express Preschool Curriculum) -7:00 am-3:30pm (Mon-Fri) -$175/week

I have a four year degree from Indiana University in Early Childhood Education in which I graduated with High Distinction. I have a great love of teaching children. I have four children of my own -- an eight year old daughter, a seven year old son, a five year old son, and a two year old son. My older two kids go to school full time and my five year old goes to half day kindergarten. I am looking to watch and teach a small group of children along with my two year old son so we can go on daily outing as part of our learning. Weekly activities include: the park, library story time, play groups, The Children's Museum, EnterTrainment, play dough, painting, cooking/baking, cutting and pasting, and sensory activities. Daily Activities include: reading picture books, singing songs, coloring, puzzles, sensory table, counting activities, alphabet activities, outside play time, jobs, and toys. I believe in hands on learning. Children learn by doing. All activities that I plan help children grow and learn at the level they are at developmentally. I integrate math, science, social studies and phonemic awareness into our play. I use many Montessori ideas in my home; however, not all of my activities are Montessori. I studied Sign Language at Purdue University and have taught it to all of my children.
