MORNING DAYCARE FOR PRESCHOOL LEARNERS (2 day, 3 day or 5 day options) I am certified, licensed, and approved by the Early Education and Care department in the state of Massachusetts to provide in-home Daycare. I have been providing this service two years out of my home. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. Over the next year, I will be teaching a Preschool Curriculum called &quot;God's Little Explorers&quot;. The goal is to help preschoolers learn at their own pace while leaving many opportunities for learning through open ended play based learning and exploring. The curriculum covers about 40 minutes of the 4 hour day. We will have 39 weeks to cover the 28 weeks of material. It will allow for time to stop in our schedule for special events and field trips. Another hour of our day will be spent at 4 different learning centers that will be set up in my home. I have a 13 different learning centers that will rotate: 1) Preschool Art Center 2) Sensory Bin Center 3) Puzzle Center 4) Play Dough Center 5) Math Center 6) Listening Center 7) Doll House Center 8) Dramatic Play Center 9) ABC Center 10) Building Center 11) Library Center 12) Science Center 13) Writing Center I am licensed to care for a total of 6 children (my daughter is one of the 6) this fall for morning Daycare Monday-Friday from 8:00am -12:00pm. I can offer extended hour(s) if planned in advance. I will be following the Hamilton Wenham school schedule and I would love for your preschooler, 2.9 years old and up, to join us in the fall. I am a Daycare, not a preschool. But I am a mother of 3 and have a heart to train my children up in the Lord and to prepare my child for Kindergarten the following fall. I provide all snacks and employ the Yours for Children food program to report healthy balanced meals provided to the children. I also provide a tax write off for daycare children that you can provide to your tax accountant at the end of the year. I hope to talk more with you regarding your child's involvement in this program. If you would like to tour my home, I would be happy to schedule a time to show you my daycare space. My email is tricia.joles@gmail.com. 2 day preschool: $250 per month 3 day preschool: $350 per month 5 day preschool: $550 per month (following the Hamilton-Wenham School District calendar)
