My current certifications: New York State Permanent Certification in Special Education (7-12) September 2009 New York State Permanent Certification in Secondary English (7-12), August 2006 New York State Permanent Certification in Childhood Education (1-6), May 2005. I have been teaching for 9 years and thoroughly enjoyed being a teacher. However, after attempting to find daycare for my children I've noticed that there is a lack of high quality programs available and the monthly tuition can be outrageous. My son, Ethan, is six and enjoys going to elementary school and tae kwon do. My daughter is 2 years old and enjoys singing and dancing. My daughter was with a phenomenal caregiver while I was at work last year and every time I went to pick her up, she was smiling- she loved going! I'm excited to bring this enjoyment to other children and a sense of security for parents; as your child will be in a loving environment in which learning is taking place. I know mornings are a whirlwind of chaos when we go to work, therefore, to assist I will be providing lunches and snacks. If you are interested in having me watch your child or have any questions please contact me. I'm available to start immediately. I have many more photos, unfortunately, the website would not let me download them because the file size was too big. My resume is available upon request.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Albany, NY

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Albany, NY. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Albany, NY for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Albany, NY, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Albany, NY.

When looking for a preschool near you in Albany, NY on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
