QUALITY CARE: NOT MORE THAN 4 KIDS AT A TIME. HOURS: 6AM-6PM FULLTIME, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Dear Parents, My name is Pari and I am a Licensed child care provider. I am First-Aid and CPR certified. I have also been Live Scan fingerprinted and background checked. I speak fluent Farsi, Spanish and English. Children are my passion. Before opening a daycare, I was a personal Nanny of two kids, from the time they were born until were six years old and off to school. My Philosophy: As a child care provider, I believe that having Passion, Love and Respect for the Children is Number one and it's my Priority. If we treat children with Love and Respect, they grow to be happier and more confident and with great self-esteem. By providing a child with a nurturing environment, they will be more responsive to their education and every day tasks. My main focus is to respect their physical and emotional needs in every moment. A child who knows that he/she is loved has a great head start in life. Which is why I provide a safe, fun, loving and educational environment for your little ones. I will provide a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. [No junk, frozen of microwaved foods.] A copy of a monthly menu will be provided to the parents and can be adjusted to accommodate for food allergies. I provide a Preschool Curriculum. Our daily activities are created to help and enhance your child's fine and gross motor skills and other areas of development. Activities are designed to help your child recognize numbers, shapes, patterns, colors and the alphabet. We also include story-time, music time and fun arts and crafts throughout the day.

Preschool
The first five years of a child's life are the most crucial for the development of their mental, physical, emotional, social, and cognitive skills. Children learn about the world around them through play. When offered developmentally appropriate activities, opportunities for discovery and exploration are encouraged. It also helps to promote self-esteem and build life skills necessary for growth and development. Our mission at PLAYSCHOOL is to provide the tools and environment that foster self confidence and a life-long interest in learning. We provide only the best quality care that you can expect from a preschool environment. Our program uses Developmentally Appropriate Practice and will enable children to learn at their own individual pace through play and discovery. At PLAYSCHOOL, we believe in a holistic and developmental approach to education. This means that we believe in fostering the growth and development of the whole child. We want children to graduate from our program with a love of learning, an excitement to go to school, and the social and emotional tools and skills to successfully interact with and engage their peers and any adults. Our child-led curriculum grows with your child and becomes more advanced as they master more difficult concepts. It is based on things that your child is interested in from their natural environment. This makes learning relevant and exciting to them. Children learn naturally through everyday experiences with people, places and things. Your child will have the opportunity to explore projects and exercise curiosity about fun, engaging and interesting ideas and concepts and learn through physical and sensory experiences, discovery, play, and trial and error. Play is children's work, and we firmly believe that. We genuinely care for each and every one of our children, and enjoy seeing them grow, thrive, and develop through our program. We look forward to being a part of you and your child's life and helping your child build the best foundation for a successful future. Thank you for sharing your children with us.

Hello! I am a loving mom of 2 beautiful baby girls, ages 6 months & 16 months. I know firsthand how hard it is to go back to work after having a baby. I promise to give a loving, nurturing and safe environment for your little bundle of joy. Children should be spoiled with fun & love as long as it is safe and structured. If you provide a safe-haven for your little ones, they can grown and develop to be smart, sweet, fun-loving and well mannered children. I also follow an age appropriate preschool style to promote early learning with crafts and exciting activities. I also work on providing a schedule of feeding, napping and playtime for a happy baby and the sanity of parents. We enjoy going for walks and playing along the green belt. I was taught by the best NICU doctors and nurses after my youngest was born prematurely. Before your child is discharged, you go through a long list of requirements to be sure you are trained to care for your special infant. I was also an instructor for My Gym, teaching children of all ages. I can also care for your newborn siblings for a deep discount for all day, part day or after school care. I would love to be the home away from home for your child(ren).

No need to get your kids ready. You can drop them off in PJs and I can get them ready for the day of fun. All meals and snacks are provided, both hot and cold (with the exception of formula).
