Thank you for inquiring on my Home Daycare. My program is very hands-on. I provide an almost home atmosphere, so your child will be comfortable and at ease in my care. I am laid back and always finding opportunities to teach the children something new. ******** I am only able to accept kiddos for the upcoming summer months only****** I have availability starting the last week of June through Sept 1. Fairfax County has limitations to the number of children providers can have in their care, I am already full for the upcoming 2016-2017 school year. But please check back, availability could change at any time. I try to keep my profile updated as soon as I have an opening. I am a mom of three boys, ages 21, 16, and 8. I am very passionate about being a mom. For years I worked in the financial world and missed out on so much with my older children. Now that I have a small child, it is so important to me that I be able to stay home and provide him with the best possible care available! I am very creative, kind, flexible, easygoing, down to earth, crafty and love to teach my children about the simple things in life. I am not looking to become a BIG family daycare with lots of kids, I prefer to stay small so I can continue to provide the best possible care available. I am excited to offer flexible hours for childcare and the best atmosphere available - a clean, loving, fun home! We play outside whenever possible. We are also involved with a Pet Rescue group, I foster puppies until we are able to find a "furever" home. It's a great opportunity for the kiddos to learn about taking care of pets-we usually only foster small dogs or puppies. My home is within walking distance to the local elementary school and I provide transportation service to and from school. I also provide care on teacher workdays or student holidays for an additional charge. I am registered with Fairfax County and do hold my Fairfax County Childcare Permit. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Many years ago, when my oldest son was in daycare full-time, I compromised on so much for him because there were not as many options available as there are today. When I had my daughter, I decided that I wanted to help out other families in need of finding someone they could trust, while they were away at work. I am a mother myself to 4 children. I operate my daycare on the main level of my home. I offer the following services: Full-time, part-time, before and after-school, and summer care. I can provide excellent references upon request.

Care Member says "Ms. Sherri at Kiddyup Childcare is an absolute gem. From the moment my first son started with her at only 4 month old, it was clear how much love,...

At East Gate Montessori School, our curriculum is designed to: -Allow students to work at their own pace, with the teacher introducing new materials only as current materials are mastered, to ensure success rather than frustration. -Put emphasis on the process rather than the product of learning. -Promote mastery of self and environment, self-discipline, and social competence. -Explore math, language, geography, botany & science, social studies, art and music, involving children in a series of sequential, manipulative, and sensorial activities that lead them from concrete to abstract learning. The Montessori classroom aids in the development of concentration, coordination, order and independence. Children learn self-confidence and refine their motor skills.

Small ratio home daycare with a certified teacher. I have a Loudoun County home daycare license and I am part of the USDA food program. I have positions open for children between 3 and 5 years of age. For convenience I can provide pick up or drop off for a small fee. I live in a single family home and have set up my basement as a preschool classroom. I will never take more than three children other than my own unless it is an older sibling for after or before school care. I have my Master's degree in Education; have taught for 7 years, taught swim lessons, ESOL, and many day camps as well. With such a low ratio I will develop individualized lessons appropriate for the preschool level in the home. We go on outings almost everyday such as the farm, zoo, library story time, parks, stream hikes or other age appropriate learning activities. We will get lots of exercise, including sports instruction. Healthy meals will be included in the cost of care. I run my daycare as I did my classroom; staying very organized and preparing lessons based on the needs each child. I would like to start as soon as possible.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Gainesville, VA

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Gainesville, VA, 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 Gainesville, VA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Gainesville, VA 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.
