In home Preschool. Small group. One on one learning. I am offering in home preschool/care for children ages 3-5. I provide a curriculum based on weekly themes and lesson plans, incorporating art, science, phonics, site words, reading and beginning math. I prefer a smaller group for one on one benefits to the child, and to prepare them for Kindergarten. Healthy lunches and snacks will be provided (or bring your own). I do not have a pool, but will have water activities. I also have a large fenced/walled in yard to play in, and a covered patio for hot days. I do have pets (cats,tortoise) but they are in a separate area. I have designated a bedroom as a "classroom" with various learning activities. I also include small field trips to the library, park, and other interesting places nearby. I have many years experience working with children in day cares, elementary classrooms, as a special needs nanny/nurse, a zoo decent, and as a mother of 12 and 18 year old girls who home school. I relocated to this area recently, and while working for a local daycare decided I wanted to work from home and have a smaller "class" to ensure a beneficial learning environment. I am just getting started, but I have several references from former parents available. I am current in CPR/First Aid, do not smoke/drink. Hours available 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. $100 a week/$20 per day per child. I look forward to hearing from you.

Trinity Childcare is a home-based day care that is run like a "center." Trinity was started by a preschool teacher with a passion for owning a center and a single mom who had no where she considered "reliable" to take her child. With an amazing vision, a little help, and a whole lot of love and determination, Trinity was born! Trinity is located on the northwest corner of Higley Rd. and Riggs Rd. in Gilbert, AZ. Trinity prides itself in a wonderful curriculum and program. Comparing Trinity to a "center:" Prices: Trinity can set and keep its prices lower than a center. Trinity was established to help parents that are struggling in today's economy that need "quality" care but can't afford a "center" rates. Ratios: Trinity's ratio is 1:5 no matter what age the child. A "center's" ratios are as follows: Infants (6 weeks - 12 months) 1:5 or 2:11; Toddlers (12 months - 24 months) 1:6 or 2:13; Twos (24 months - 3 years) 1:8; Threes 1:13; Fours 1:15; Fives 1:20; and School-Age (6 years to 12 years) 1:20. Program: With Trinity's lower ratios, we are able to work more one-on-one with the children and get them prepared for their future. Trinity writes and enforces its own curriculum based on what your child will need to succeed in kindergarten. As they grow and learn with us physically, we are also preparing them emotionally with the help of our parents to get their child ready to have the best possible future in school. Staff: The staff at Trinity is experienced in every room of its facility. We want to ensure you that Trinity puts all their staff through an extensive background check to ensure the safety of your child/children. The staff at Trinity is a strong family; therefore, you will see the same staff daily. Meals: All meals follow the state regulations on what a child should be served. Please see our weekly menu. Meals and snacks are cooked right here at Trinity. Most importantly, you should feel secure that while your child is "home" at Trinity, they will be active and learning and not sitting in front of the TV as most in-home day cares do. We strongly believe in giving your child all they are going to need to succeed and grow every day. Trinity's owners thank you for giving us the chance to help your child grow through laughter, love, and a whole lot of FUN! Ashley and Marie-Therese

I am a stay-at-home mom of four children, ages 9 to 17, and I have been caring for children in my home since 2001. All the families whose children I care for become a small extension of our own family, it is more than just a job for me. I have made some of my best friends in the parents, and have cried when I have seen children go off to their first day of school. I do preschool crafts that emphasize pre-kindergarten skills five days a week for the children ages 2 and older in my care. I am certified in CPR, have a fingerprint card, and 13+ years of experience. I have many references (former and current parents) available and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. My hours are Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the rate of $150 a week which includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, juice, milk and all preschool and craft supplies.

I started this adventure 19 years ago after working at Tutor Time and decided to start my own business. I am glad I did. I consider myself a kid at heart, who enjoys hanging out with little cuties from age 6 weeks all the way to Kindergarten. I provide excellent service throughout the day from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. From learning to talk, to draw, to scissors skills, opposites and colors, numbers and letters, arts and stuffed animals, everything at once, they learn as they play in a very comfortable and safe environment. My days follow a routine, kids love to have specific activities and know what's next. I update every week a private Facebook page only for families, so they can see what we are up to. It is nice to see what they did during the day. Homemade meals, a fun room full all of things they need. Private cubicles. Great play area.... and my passion for them to be happy. I am excited to meet with you and see if your child is a good fit for our group.

Hello, my name's Kwestan and I have been working with children for over 15 years now. Over these years I've always wanted to run my own childcare at home and finally after much convincing and support from my family and friends I've decided to start my dream. Along with my experience as a teacher, my husband and I have a girl who is 17 years old and two boys ages 20 and 12 years old. We also have another member of the family, our silly cat Molly. Our home is conveniently located in Chandler next to the 101 Freeway. My in-home childcare has competitive rates with other caregivers. In my program I will be teaching elementary level education along with structured playtime in the form of circle time. Activities that we will be doing include reading, writing, counting, number recognition, singing, art and crafts, cognitive activities, and outdoors activities as well. Everyday will be a new beginning for us full of fun and new things to learn. I understand your need for a caregiver that you can not only trust your child with but one that will give your child all the love, care, and patience they need. With me your child will be receiving all of this and so much more. I am CPR and first aid certified and I also have my fingerprint card. I also have references available upon request. Thank you for your interest in my in home childcare services. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you and your family.
