Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my profile. My name is Nicole and I am a single mother to a preschool aged daughter, and for about the last three years I have been blessed to stay home with my daughter by caring for other young children in my home. As time goes on children grow and move on to the next stages in life, so I am currently looking for a couple of families to support by providing a home learning environment away from home. I am not a certified teacher but have learned the importance of having a childlike spirit to connect with children in various ways. At the same time providing a consistent rhythm of the day that consists of circle time, free play, nature walks, cooking, life skills and chores, hygiene, verbal story time and verses, and incorporate relevant field trips at the end of the week. What inspires me to continue to provide childcare is the opportunity to give young children an organic childhood experience. I have adopted both Montessori and natured based principles to offer a balance to every day life to allow children to explore at their own will. Nothing is ever forced and options to choose are always given, even with mealtime. Meals are freshly homemade and consist of mainly organic and gluten free ingredients and juices are only freshly pressed. If you are looking for a safe faith based environment in a gated community, with a park to explore with learning toys galore I'd love to speak with you to answer any questions you may have and to learn about your family to see if we would be a great match! **NEW** Soccer Skill classes are available in community park **Before and After care is available for discussion. (Home is insured for Childcare)

CLOSED DURING SUMMERS AND OTHER SCHOOL BREAKS--- If you are a teacher or work for a school district, we may be a great fit! As both a childcare provider, and a mother who has previously worked outside the home myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to have a dependable, qualified childcare provider that loves your child as you do, and treats them as their own! There's nothing better than getting a picture text message during the day to see the fun your child is having, or a daily written summary of your child's moods, eating habits, and activities, and knowing that they are well taken care of in your absence. Good communication between the parent and provider helps make sure all parties are happy, especially your little one. I understand the dynamic of being a working mother and would love to get to know your child to see if my family childcare would be a good fit! Just as I take my own children to the park, story-time at the library, and playgroup, I would consider your child a member of the family while at our home, and expected to join in on the fun! I respect individual parenting styles, communicate well about routines and preferences, understand the seriousness of food allergies, teach preschool objectives while playing, such as colors, numbers, patterns, and sight words. I also enjoy sharing my musical talents of singing and playing the piano with children. The kids also love to help with the vegetable garden, which gets them excited about eating healthy! As a college graduate with a Psychology degree, I have taken courses in child development, behavior theories, and parenting styles, etc. Your child will be played with, talked to, well-fed, sung to and loved! He or she will have fun friends to play with all day, and will have a variety of fun experiences with myself and our daycare friends while you work hard for your family each day! I am both infant and adult CPR certified and First Aid certified through September, 2025. I am also a registered childcare provider with the Arizona Resource and Referral organization. Several recommendations of my childcare skills can be provided at your request. My home and yard are clean and safe. There are plenty of toys and activities to share. No swimming pool. We try to practice kindness, friendship, helpfulness, and respect in our home! Crossroads are off the 202, at Ellsworth and Guadalupe. I look forward to meeting you and your child!

Children learn best by doing. In Montessori, all learning is hands on and concrete. The children are given the opportunity to build their independence and be part of a community. They learn to love and respect themselves and their environment, as they take care of both. Nature's Path combines the philosophy of Montessori with the beauty of nature. The children have the opportunity to take care of animals, work with composting and use water collected from rain barrels to water the garden, all while having access to the amazing Montessori curriculum.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Mesa, AZ

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Mesa, AZ, 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 Mesa, AZ.

When looking for a preschool near you in Mesa, AZ 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.
