Hi Moms &amp; Dads! My childcare offers the comfort of being in a small and family home, while at the same time, my childcare program is learning based. I am a stay at home mom with 2 children (my son is 6 and my daughter is 19 months). I have over 15 years' experience working with children &amp; families, and specifically spent the last 4 years working with children in foster care. My son has autism spectrum disorder and I am more than comfortable working with children with special needs and making accommodations for them as well as working with their therapists. We have a very warm and happy home that is completely kid friendly. We have a large backyard, with a large 2 story deck that has 2 locking gates and a covered concrete patio that can be used for outdoor activities. I will provide a safe, caring, homelike environment for your children while at the same time, providing for their physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. I will provide a structured day with play based learning, daily story time, art, yoga, and outdoor play while also adhering to the schedule that you have for your child. During the school year (September-May), we work on a preschool curriculum for children that are 2 and up as well as potty training assistance when you are ready. In my home, I will provide: Daily routines, breakfast, lunch and snack for children 1 and up. Art, outside play and daily reading time. I will provide care for newborns on up. I also provide before and after school care~Freer Elementary is one block from my home and the bus stop is in front of my house! I have excellent references, am CPR/First Aid certified and have a current, and clear Family Safety Care Registry and fingerprint check. I am located in Barnhart, in Bayberry Farms, just 2 minutes from highway 55. If you are interested in meeting with me, please feel free to give me a call anytime to schedule an interview. My phone number is 314-814-5463. In my home, your child will be cared for as one of ours.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, central to our educational philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning.

Little Einstein's is a very small, exclusive in-home preschool/daycare. I have limited openings available and encourage you to make an appointment as soon as possible. Children are given the individual and personal attention they need as well as the skills necessary for entering school. PHILOSOPHY &amp; BELIEFS: Little Einstein's Home Daycare recognizes the importance of early childhood education today. I provide a quality program that will support and contribute to the success and well-being of each child that walks through my door. In order to ensure this, I will only accept up to 6 children at any given time. Each child is given the individual attention and love they need to nurture their strengths and build on their weaknesses. I am committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment that will enable each child to learn at his/her own pace while developing self-confidence and a love for learning. PURPOSE: To provide quality, loving and individualized care for children, ages 2-5 years of age. CURRICULUM GOALS: - Strengthen communication skills necessary for listening, reading writing and speaking by providing an environment rich in the practical use of words. - Stimulate cognitive problem-solving skills with an emphasis on the concepts of cause and effect, classification, serialization, space, time, numbers, shape and colors. - Support the development of social skills such as sharing, cooperation, generosity and empathy. - Foster positive self-esteem. - Provide opportunities for creative expression. - Enhance fine motor and gross motor skills. - Develop safe and healthy habits in young children with an emphasis on proper hygiene, sound nutrition, exercise and physical care. Developmentally appropriate activities are planned and implemented at Little Einstein's. The daily schedule provides for a balance between student-directed and teacher-directed activities, quiet and active time, and inside and outside learning. Students have daily opportunities to read books, use a variety of art media, explore math and science materials, experience music and work alone or together with friends. SERVICES / PROGRAMS: Toddler Care (2-5 years),

I offer a safe, smoke-free, and fun environment for children to grow and thrive, while offering peace of mind for mom and dad. I accept children from Newborn - Jr. High. If your children are in the Brennan Woods/Woodridge school area, I have a bus stop at my driveway. I've been caring for children off and on for 15+ years. I love being able to watch children discover new things and to enjoy being a child. I have flexible rates and offer sibling discounts. I will not offer child care to more than 4 children due to the fact that I like to focus specifically on a few children. I feel that any more than that, and I wouldn't be able to offer the quality care that I would demand for my own children. I keep daily records of what your child's activities included. I also prepare meals (breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack). I am cloth diaper friendly. I am married to my best friend, and am mother to 3 (13 year old stepson, 9 year old daughter, and 5 month old daughter). I also have a dog. She's a 3 year old yellow lab mix, and will be kept separate from the children in my care. I look forward to being a part of your family, and welcoming your children into mine!

Erin A. says "Very caring and attentive to not only the children's needs, but to the family's as well."

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Imperial, MO

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Imperial, MO, 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 Imperial, MO.

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