I was a pre-k teacher for over 4 years and I totally loved it. I have had my in home daycare for over 4 years. I have been CPR certified, drug/ tb tested, full background checked, finger-printed, and I have several childcare and teaching training done. I am safe sleep certified. I am also continuing to get more training done. I have a portfolio available. I am a Mom of a 24 year old son. He is married and has a 1 year old baby girl . He graduated from Vincennes University, down in Vincennes, Indiana. He studied to be a law officer. I am so proud of him. I am married and have been for a little over 5 years. My husband is a gem! I have babysat children for years while raising my son, our home was always the neighborhood kids' hangout. I am excited to keep on this journey of taking care of children in my home. I was working in a state licensed level 4 childcare academy for a year and I loved it. I learned a lot and want to keep helping children get ready for school and have a safe, fun place while parents are working. I was a single Mom for years so I know how important safety and trust is. I plan on teaching what they need to know to start kindergarten and have fun playing games, doing crafts, coloring, and just learning how to get along with others. I love to cook, so the children will get healthy, good, home cooking for breakfast and lunch. Snacks will also be provided. I am always available for any questions. I have several references. As a Mom myself, I would suggest, please visit all the daycares you are interested in before your decision. Going cheaper isn't always better. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you. Tammy McClain

As a small business in Fort Wayne, Little Thinkers School of Early Learning has only ever had a single goal, to make sure that the children of our community are prepared for the road that lies ahead. To meet this daunting task, we've developed a child care center and team that are light years ahead of the competition. Every step of the way, your child will receive our all-around approach to child care, which mixes social interaction, physical play time, and personal development in equal parts with traditional learning. Learning through play allows the child to develop and grow while also exploring their interests when it comes to different topics of the academic curriculum. By providing a comprehensive education, we're able to help those in our care progress rapidly and be ready when it's time to start attending school. We focus on more than academics. We focus on well-rounded individuals through social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being. While some Fort Wayne preschool programs offer rigid instruction, Little Thinkers School of Early Learning prefers to create a dynamic environment where behavior and social interaction matter just as much as letters and numbers. Your child's care provider will take the time to respond to all questions fully and deeply rather than only giving superficial answers. All in all, we here at Little Thinkers put your child first in all aspects of their life including academics. We look forward to servicing you and this community.
