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

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Leo, IN

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Leo, IN, 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 Leo, IN.

When looking for a preschool near you in Leo, IN 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.
