After teaching in preschool facilities for 7 years, I have passed inspection for a home child care license to provide high-quality direct care for children in my home. I will have 6 children ranging in ages 6 weeks to 5 years (including my daughter) with possibly 4 school-age children during summer or school closures. My home is organized to be a functioning preschool environment with bountiful indoor and outdoor play-learning opportunities. I will also maintain a weekly lesson plan that includes adaptions for all age groups to participate in arts, music, language, literacy, math, science, and gross motor learning domains. We have pets (be cautious of allergies), and require families to provide a lunch box with packed meals &amp; snacks. We are open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Full time weekly rates and part time days-per-week rates are available. Schedules must be reserved and payment is advance of care.

At SCEIC, large classroom spaces, small student to teacher ratios, access to therapists and handicap accessible equipment are integrated to create individualized plans for each child to best fit his/her educational need. Typically developing and gifted students act as Role Models for those with disabilities in their classes and each child is able to learn at his/her own pace with unique goals based on individual abilities. Children of varying abilities are placed in classrooms by age (1, 2 and 3 year olds) where they work together with their teachers and therapists to ensure they meet age appropriate milestones in cognitive, gross and fine motor, language, social/emotional and sensory integration skills. SCEIC partners with the State of Florida to provide free Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten to children of all abilities. Our high quality program is designed to make certain that every child has the social, emotional, and educational skills they need to succeed in elementary school. Our aftercare program is designed to provide stimulating interactive learning activities for elementary age children, this inclusive program offers children with mental, physical and social delays and their typical peers opportunities to engage in meaningful creative learning activities in a structured but fun, safe and non-stressful environment. Parents need recess too, especially moms and dads with special needs children. Finding quality childcare for special children can sometimes be difficult. Twice monthly, Project Recess offers parents of SCEIC students the opportunity to drop off their children for a little down time, with the assurance that their child is safe and well cared for. Children with and without disabilities are welcomed. Brain training improves how the brain thinks, learns, and remembers. It changes the brain not for a single class or academic year, but for every class and in every area of life from now on. Brain training strengthens the connections your brain uses in a fun, enjoyable setting. Our students, who range from 5 to 85, receive individualized attention, working one-on-one with a Brain Trainer.

I am a loving and safe child care provider located in West Melbourne. I am a Mommy of 5 (3 are off at college). I am a licensed Paramedic who has plenty of experience working in the ER, and the field. I am certified in CPR, Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. (PALS). You can rest assured that your little ones are safe and will be well cared for with me. I also have a lot of experience with special needs children. I have worked in the special education dept., and I was a manager for a residential/day school for children with severe autism and MR. I have immediate openings in my home for little ones, and I can accommodate different work schedules. I'm a firm believer in the smaller home settings for childcare. It gives the children more one on one attention, plus there are fewer illnesses due to overcrowding of day care centers. I look forward to speaking with you about your childcare needs. Please message me with any questions.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Melbourne, FL

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Melbourne, FL, 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 Melbourne, FL.

When looking for a preschool near you in Melbourne, FL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
