Hello and thank you for taking time to read my ad! We are a very small home based daycare in the Morrisville/RTP/Cary area. Our rates are comparable to the large day cares in our area but we truly believe we offer a better service because of our very low ratio and loving environment. We come with great references and welcome you to use them as childcare is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. I currently have two part-time openings starting July and August 2021. I was a licensed child care provider in the state of WI about 15 years ago, until we moved to NC in 2006. I do run my business as if I am still licensed. I have a handbook with info. available for parents as well as a contract detailing how we care for your child. I have a very low ratio of children. I have a daughter who is 17 &amp; is in 11th grade &amp; 12 year old son in 6th grade. I have a very structured environment I follow on a daily basis. My goal is to give your child the best personalized care and attention while providing a fun and stimulating environment. I have a degree in Psychology which included course work in Child Psychology. Thanks again for reading my ad &amp; considering my day care as your child's home away from home where they can be loved and nurtured in a caring place to call their own. CPR/SIDS certified. As mentioned great references available! Ask about drop-in, temporary &amp; after school care. Serious inquiries only please!! Thanks!

Our story: As a working, single-mother of three kids, Stacy Shannon faced the challenge of getting her kids to and from their various activities while balancing her work responsibilities. Stacy realized she was not alone in this struggle. Stacy found that parents across the nation, needed a safe and reliable option for their child s transportation. Other ride shares were not designed with the level of care and safety required for families. As a result, a new kind of service needed to be created. GoKart was designed for parents. The service offers parents with safety and reliability so that kids can get where they need to go, when they need to go. Parents can have peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. GoKart hopes that by providing a safe and reliable option for child s transportation, kids can stay involved and engaged in school, activities and their community. In cases of separation, GoKart offers a seamless way for kids to get to and from their parents homes. For kids in the foster system, GoKart provides stability as it allows kids to attend their home school rather than transferring schools. GoKart was also designed to provide safe employment for local heroes. Whether those heroes be fire fighters, police officers, EMT or EMS, our company offers them employment in their off-duty hours. Driving for GoKart allows local heroes, who commonly face high-risk situations, to work in a less high-risk environment in off-duty hours. They continue to serve their community as they provide relief to parents and impact the lives of children. Furthermore, our service provides a way for stay-at-home parents to make extra income. With the ability to set their own hours, our service is readily available to parents that wish to stay at home with their children while also bringing in extra household income. As parents, our drivers understand the level of safety and care that a child s parents entrust in them as they drive their child to and from activities. Our first long term mission is to help children, of all needs, get to and from activities that they may not be able to have participated in without a means of transportation. Often, we see this with kids who have working parents, unable to leave the office. We also see it with foster care children, who rely heavily on the availability of social services. Whatever the case, GoKart acts as an extra set of hands and wheels for parents and kids. The second part of our mission, is to offer safe employment for

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Cary, NC

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Cary, NC. 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 Cary, NC for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Cary, NC, 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 Cary, NC.

When looking for a preschool near you in Cary, NC on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools. Be sure to check any reviews from other families in Cary, NC who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
