Daycare description / philosophy
Home away from Home Childcare in McKenzie Towne, Prestwick. For fulltime days, Monday - Friday 6:15am-5:30pm. I have flat monthly rates based on the needs of each child. I also give a 10% discount for siblings.
I have been caring for children for 18 years now, I have references upon request. I have lots of toys, playpens, highchairs. I also have a separate sleeping area for the children if needed. Everything is included in my rates, all snacks, meals, diapers, wipes, smiles, tickles and love.
Just a bit about me and why I have chosen to do what I am doing. The need for affordable childcare in this city is tremendous. I have so much patience for children and love having them around. We have a large home with an open concept so the children are always in my sight.
I do not run a "dayhome", I like to make the children feel like they would if they were at their own home, life needs to be as normal as possible when little ones are away from their parents.
I do not usually have the TV on, unless we have what I call a pajama day, usually that consists of a really wintery/rainy day where we all wear our pajamas and watch movies and eat popcorn. In the winter, this happens about once a month. We have outdoor play every afternoon from 1-3 pm, weather permitting of course. I also have a park next door to my home that we frequently go to. We have theme days each month as well, like costume day, superhero, Disney etc.
I believe in interaction play, I love to sit and color or do crafts of the season with the kids, but structure is very important to children of all ages, so mealtimes are the same time each day, as well as snack and nap times. I also have one of my bathrooms for exclusive potty training needs.
You need to be comfortable with whomever you choose to leave your child with, also the provider needs to be comfortable with your child and with yourself. You should be able to walk away each day and not worry about your child. Communication between myself and the parent is key when your children are in my care.Daycare Features
