Carla's Montessori Home Daycare in Ottawa daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

I am an AMI certified Montessori Instructor and hold a diploma in the Assistants to Infancy program (0-3 years) from the Montessori Institute in Denver, CO. After ten years of caring for toddlers in private schools, I now run a small daycare in my home in Greenboro. I provide a positive, nurturing environment that supports your child on their natural path of development.

In keeping with Montessori theory and tradition for this age group my focus is on:
* the development and refinement of language through a variety of language materials as well as through conversation, singing, and being read stories and poetry;
* the development and refinement of movement, both gross-motor and fine-motor;
* practical life activities involving care of the self such as hand washing, dressing, independence in toileting, food preparation, self-feeding etc.;
* practical life activities involving care of the environment, such as setting and clearing the table at snack and lunch time, food preparation, wiping the table, sweeping, dusting, caring for plants, etc.
* Your child will have the opportunity to play outdoors twice daily, weather permitting.
* Your child will have the opportunity to do art work daily, if they wish to.
* We go to the Greenboro Library at least once a week to select books and/or attend story time.

I currently have one spot available. If your child is 24 months or older, the spot is available immediately. If your child is under 24 months, the spot is available as of January 2016.
