Angela's Family Day Care

Hello Parents! Five Peas in a Pod is a very small in-home daycare that has been in operation since 1994. A little about me, my name is Angela and I'm a 44 year old married mom of two daughters ages 22 and 19 years old. My husband, Dan, is a teacher in our local school district. We have one Boston Terrier, Spencer, who just turned 6 years old. The children in my care do not have access to him although he is as friendly as can be.
I currently provide care for three little girls, ages 5 years old, soon to be 3 years old, and soon to be 2 years old. The five year old has been with me since she was 18 months old. She will be leaving to join her older sisters at day camp in mid-June and will then move on to kindergarten in September. So as of July 5th I will have 1 full-time opening available. A. is the three year old and she has been with me since last June. I met her family through a mutual friend. M. is the youngest and has been with me since she was 10 weeks old. I met her family via another daycare site.
We spend our days doing crafts, singing songs, reading books, playing with toys, & weather permitting we are outside every day. I have a nice assortment of outdoor climbers and slides as well as bikes. We also devote time to kindergarten readiness. B. is able to recognize and write her entire alphabet (both upper and lower case), spell and write her first and last name, count and write her numbers 1 through 100, she is able to identify most letter sounds with the exception of the vowels (but we still have time!), and she can complete patterns. Just if not more importantly, she has developed problem solving skills, is kind and considerate of those around her, is able to share and take turns, and is eager to learn. She is ready for kindergarten! I take this responsibility very seriously and enjoy finding creative ways to engage the children in learning.
I've included a link to my Facebook page, here you'll get an idea of what we do every day. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a visit. Thank you for your time!
