Wonderful Care

1740 Yorktowne Drive York, PA

Thank you for taking time to review my posting! I am the mother of a 3 year old bundle of joy and am wanting to provide care for your child(ren)! Ages infant to kindergarten! Hours Monday thru Friday, closing at 5:30 p.m. When I returned back to work after my maternity leave, my spouse and I struggled with finding just the right fit in a caregiver for our little boy. We were looking for what we called the trifecta (attention to quality of care, intuition to the needs of the child, and above all else safety in all aspects). We were successful and found just that! Now I am looking to pass on what I know and venture into this field to help parents and children alike. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease while you are at work and for your child to feel valued and cared for while you are there! Located in central/west York. All references and clearances provided at time of interview. We own our home and it's non-smoking of course. Fenced in backyard for outdoor activities when weather permits. There will be a consistent schedule/curriculum day to day and a schedule will be provided at time of interview. Looking to open beginning November, 2015. Will be welcoming interviews in our home mid-October. Limited spaces.

3350 ALTA VISTA RD DOVER, PA

Welcome to Kids & Company Dover! This location was formerly called “Aa to Zz”, but has since been purchased by Kids & Company and now operates with our staff and proprietary programming. Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff. You can’t miss our large red building (that was previously a firehouse!) that is directly behind the McDonald’s off Route 74. Our standalone building provides a quiet and private environment for children to learn, and we have a small parking lot out front that parents can use during pick-up and drop-off. There are also bus stops nearby for families travelling by transit. Inside the building you’ll find spacious classrooms that are separated by half-walls, making it a cozy and intimate environment for children and staff. Classrooms are colorful, light-filled, and full of educational and age-appropriate toys. Outside we have a fenced-in mulch area with structures for children that are ready to run, jump, and climb. There is another fenced-in play space that is open and equipped with toys for younger children who are just developing their gross motor skills. Our 6 classrooms can accommodate 117 children in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten Prep, and School Age programs. The School Age program runs Before and After School care, School Break care, and Summer Camp. Transit from Dover Elementary, North Salem Elementary, Leib Elementary and Weiglestown Elementary is provided by the school district. Children that are 6 years and under are welcome on a full-time or part-time (3 full days or 5 half days) basis, with backup care being available on an ad-hoc basis. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them. We serve our children breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day, all prepared in our on-site kitchens. Formula is also available for our Infants. We are proud members of the Keystone STARS (Standards, Training/Professional Development, Assistance, Resources, and Supports) program, a rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-age child care. Early learning programs participating in Keystone STARS are rated from STAR 1 to a STAR 4. We have been rated as STAR 4, the highest rating, meaning our staff education, learning environment, leadership/management, and family/community partnerships meet the highest performance standards!

11 Circle Drive Jacobus, PA

My educational program includes the following: Infant (6 weeks old - 18 months old) Infants are held when bottle fed, talked to and played with. Infants are assisted to reach their milestones at their own pace with lots of love, support, tummy and holding time. Toddler (Ages 2 years old - 3 years old) My Toddlers are offered a variety of opportunities to explore their world through play. Gross motor and social skills are developed through both structured and unstructured play. Their days are filled with music, art, dance and story times. Preschool (Ages 4 years old - 5 years old) Although it may seem like fun and games to preschoolers, the curriculum I follow is packed with educational elements. Games abound that teach pre-reading skills like phonemic awareness, letter and sound recognition; basic math concepts with hands on science exploration. My goal is to produce happy, intelligent and well-adjusted children. Here you will find a nurturing, educational environment for children ages 6 weeks old to 6 years old. I recognize that each child has unique talents, learning styles and personalities. I am committed to working within each child's comfort zone, ensure optimal social, emotional and educational skills. I provide Breakfast, A.M. Snack, Lunch and P.M. Snack. Diapers and wipes are also included in your Tuition Fee.
