Daycare description / philosophy
I am currently looking for families who would like to place their children in my care, in my home, so that I may also stay home with my two year old son. I have 2 spots available for children, which would allow me ample time to focus on the needs of the 3 children in my care (the third child being my son.) I am a graduate of Ryerson University's Early Childhood Education program (October 2009), specializing in the education sector, which highlights my strengths in preparing the children in my care for school, or supporting their classroom education with school centered programing. I am registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators.
My child care experience is extensive, and is as follows:
I have worked as a babysitter and Nanny for 10 years. This experience included 2 sets of twins (ages 14mths-4 years and 4 mths-6 mths). I have experience caring for up to four children as a group in homes, as well as working as a camp counselor for 3 summers. My experience ranges from newborn baby to 12 years of age. I have worked as a dance teacher and lifeguard at the YMCA and as a swimming instructor for children ages 3-12. I was also a lifeguard for children at The National Ballet of Canada.
Throughout my university career I held 4 different placements in elementary schools and a daycare. I have recently graduated from my undergraduate degree program as an early childhood educator and am currently working in a daycare with children ages 7-11. I am also the mother of a two and 1/2 year old boy, which has given me invaluable experiences as both a parent and a well educated caregiver. This allows me to understand the needs and perspectives of both positions, and gives me unique strengths in the Early Childhood field.
I care for and teach children in a child centered way, catering to their individual needs and strengths. I believe it is important for children to learn through their experiences, to explore, ask questions and find wonder in the simple things around us. I value physical activity, positive forms of discipline, creativity, everyday life skills, and having fun! The children in my care will receive healthy meals and snacks (breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack), they will have free play time, nap times (if age appropriate) and they will participate in group activities such as crafts and games. We will also take field trips to skating rinks, splash pads, playgrounds, fairs and the cookie factory! It will be my goal to provide loving, educational, supportive and exciting daily activities for the children in my care, and I look forward to the new experiences I will have as a home care provider!
