Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a State Certified Home Daycare provider who provide childcare in my home. I am a 3 Star Rated Program through Step Up to Quality and Cincinnati Preschool Promise certified! I have been in the child care field for about 12 years now. I have an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Cincinnati State Technical Community College. I graduated with my Associates in 2007. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I attend monthly training through the child development program in Hamilton County to keep up with updated information regarding child care. I provide an outstanding, safe environment for all children in my care. I am very big on education and child safety. While the children are in my care, we go over age appropriate learning materials such as My Baby can Read, shapes, colors, alphabets, counting, name writing and activities sheets. We also do sensory, fine and gross motor activities, math and science. I like to promote the Ages and Stages of all children. I don't consider myself as a Home Provider, I like to consider myself a Home Educator because we are consistently learning new things. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

We focus on the social and emotional development of each child with an emphasis on learning to foster healthy friendships and relationships. Balance Our caring and experienced staff is dedicated to the development of the whole child. Through a variety of creative, academic and social activities, they will ensure your child leaves our program ready to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond.

You can also check your options in Cincinnati, OH for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Cincinnati, OH, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.
