Meals and snacks are included with the exclusion of formula and jarred baby food. I offer dependable care at reasonable rates in a stable, safe and fun environment. Before and after school care as well as full time placement is available. Multi-child family discounts. First and second shift preferred. I am located less than half a mile from Dempsey Middle School, close to the Delaware County Fairgrounds right off of Pennsylvania Avenue. I've worked with children for almost 20 years while raising my kids and have worked with children from all walks of life, including children with physical, psychological and social disabilities. I have been formally trained as an EMT-I and have undergone other medical training. I've also worked with elderly dementia patients in their homes as well as within a facility. My home is very relaxed and informal. The activities are fine tuned to meet the needs and interests of the children who are here. For those who are in preschool I do offer classroom type instruction focusing on letter shapes and sounds, vocabulary, writing, and crafts. We spend a lot of time outside learning and playing. It is my mission in life to provide the best care possible for children, whether they are mine or yours!

Hello: (As of March 2015 I'm full) may have an opening starting August when school starts again but on limited hours.Which is great for a back up. My name is Sandra and my oldest daughter is Tiffany. We have teamed up to provide Childcare in my home. There is still more remodeling to do but I'm excited that I'm now Licensed by the State. Signed up at JFS and Action for children. I have a fire inspection completed and required classes, with updated classes to come. Our CPR, First Aid, and trainings are up to date. I have a single family home with a nice big fenced in yard. Most of my weekend is set aside for improvements inside and outside of the home. But one of us can still provide services if needed on the weekend with early notice. Our main purpose in life is to be "Happy. Healthy. Wealthy. Wise." Self awareness with love is key,I believe children have a voice. I've raised 5 children and provided childcare for over 15 years then 13 year of watching disabled children. I'm now going back to my other passion of childcare. My daughter Tiffany took childcare at DACC and loves this interaction as much as I do. I have one opening for AM age 2-11 and a 2 openings on 2nd or third shift, I provide for private and county children. While only 6 at a time are permitted, it allows more one on one time. I'm located in Delaware city on the west side. Let me know if you would like to meet and see if we're a match. Meals are included. We are walking distance to a nearby park. Love to visit the zoo and hoping to visit Cosi this summer. Located off 36 west meals are included with full/part/and hourly. All shifts have some openings. Estimate pricing is: 24.9 hrs=$120 part time 25hr=full time $150 hourly $7 (this does vary with age of the child and summer time). Tax Deductible as well. Thank you and be blessed. Tiffany 740-972-2975 or Sandra 740-972-4954, call or text.

I have been working with children for 11 years now, through out High School and College. Coming from an amazing experience as a Teacher at an Early Learning center for 6 years. It has allowed me to build rapport with children of all ages. From my experience in caring for children, I have gained patience, time management and multitasking. I am full of energy when working with children and enjoy being active as well as educational teaching. I have always loved working with children and find nothing more rewarding than caring for them. Now that I had my first child in February, I decided I would love to open up my home, to care for other children. I will provide an educational, safe, fun and loving environment for children. I believe in creating a safe and positive environment in which children can thrive from. My experience has taught me to be proficient in cooking, cleaning and catering to each child's individual needs. Working with children is rewarding in the sense that it provides a mutual learning experience. With my passion and qualifications for caring with children, I believe I am a good candidate. Please message me with any questions! Can't wait to hear from you!

I just built a brand new home in Lewis center. It is so wonderfully set up for in-home daycare with a huge playroom that is on the main level. I can always keep an eye on the children even while prepping meals. I provide breakfast, lunch, and healthy snacks. I am a Christian mother of two children. We attend church every week. My kids are a 8-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old boy. I can service the Glen Oak school area and get the kids on and off the school bus. When you leave your children at my house, you will know you are making the right choice. It is newly built and very clean, but we also have toys galore. We love to play outside every single day that weather permits. We have a swing set and small children's pool for summer. We will have so much fun learning to count and sing our ABCs. I utilize awesome websites for reading and math when they are older kids. We have two iPads for fun toddler apps like tracing numbers and matching games and color/shape recognition. I am very creative with our craft ideas and also love teaching by way of sensory fun such as drawing letters in sand or shaving cream. My hours are 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. These are my set hours, but I am available for times outside of this for an additional fee so that you can work late, grocery shop, doctor appointments, or date night. I have so much more information to give, so feel free to contact me for anything you need. I look forward to hearing from you and giving your family a tour of our home.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Delaware, OH

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Delaware, OH, 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 Delaware, OH.

When looking for a preschool near you in Delaware, OH 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 Delaware, OH who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
