Jackie's Kids

13 Pineridge Drive Smithfield, RI

Hello! I am certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED from the American Red Cross. I have a very small home daycare of 2 to 3 children at a time, enough for socialization while also offering very specialized individual care. Because of the small numbers, we are able to be active indoors, outdoors and in the community. I specialize in newborns through preschool years as well as having many years of experience with older children. I provide the transportation, meals and any entrance or activity fees. Our day may involve apple picking, story time at local libraries, a visit to the zoo, going on a nature walk, painting, climbing a tree or hanging from a tree branch, sewing, baking, bouncing a basketball or kicking a soccer ball, cuddling in a rocking chair while reading a stack of books and the list goes on... This is the perfect age to instill a love of learning through physical exercise and adventures. Life is great and children are awesome! A little about myself... I played sports in college and have a degree in health education. My children were also Ivy League college athletes. Everything I have done in my life has involved teaching. I have been a mental health counselor, a teacher for disabled children, stayed home with my own children to teach them in their early years, a preschool teacher then began my own home day care business 11 years ago. I take pride in being a support system to parents even if it's just to listen or share one of my experiences. References are available from any and all of my former families including residents, fellows, and TopDocs. I look forward to meeting you!

Looking for one child to join the child I currently care for in my home, when my daughter goes to school in the fall. Tuesdays and Wednesdays during school hours. We'd be spending lots of time outside in our big yard and garden, baking, making music and doing lots of hands on creative projects. I went to school for art, play guitar, love to cook, and am generally crafty and handy.

WONDERKIDS passion for child development has enhanced the learning experience in young minds by bringing out the greatness within children since 1987. WONDERKIDS Early Learning Center of RI offers exceptional early learning programs from Infancy through Pre-Kindergarten. Because of our commitment to healthy eating, we offer fresh fruits and vegetables daily in addition to a healthy breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. More than anything else, what defines WONDERKIDS is the success of the students whose parents come back after graduating and share stories of how their child's WONDERKIDS experience gave them the tools they needed to excel. From our skilled teachers to our administrators... warm, responsive care coupled with a secure learning environment is our core vision. Each WONDERKIDS team-member knows that the quality of relationships which your child experiences during their first 5 years of life have a deep and lasting impact on their future development, and that knowledge guides them every step of their day as they care for, enrich and teach your child. WonderKids offers 6 different classrooms which provides a more appropriate learning environment for each age group. Our younger Infants have their very own classroom until they are ready to join the older Infants. Our Toddlers advance from the younger Toddler classroom to the older Toddler classroom when they are developmentally ready. And the Preschool classrooms work beautifully by having the 3 year olds and the 4 year olds learning in their own separate classrooms. Our families at WonderKids are very grateful for the flexible schedule that we offer. Whether it is one half day or up to five full days, we can accommodate your needs. All our staff are C.P.R. and First Aid certified. We would be delighted to show you around our center where your child can interact with their particular age group and you can meet the teachers in the classroom. Tours are scheduled by appointment. We may be contacted by phone call. Thank You!
