Cherished Children Childcare

I am a licensed childcare provider since 2000. I offer childcare for all 3 shifts in my home. Our day normally goes as follows: Breakfast between 8-9, free play, with some dancing exercise or outdoor play. Snack at 10:30 with learning activities. This is based on what the children are interested in, they might be fascinated with butterflies or bugs. So we would have drawing sheets and arts and crafts a few books to read from the library. We will incorporate color, numbers, shapes, whatever we can to learn but still make it fun! We have our morning clean up at 12 with lunch to follow then it is our quiet time/nap. Afternoon snack is 3-4 depending on kids coming and going. Outdoor play or active time based on weather. Children with homework will work on it from 5-6, for younger children this is their learning time also just like we do with the kids in the a.m. Dinner is between 6-6:30 and more free play. We have p.m. clean up at 7:30 then snack at 8. We will begin to mellow out and do quiet activities or have movie night. Bedtime will follow.
I do not accept DHS payments for weekend care. Cash only at time of service. I will take your children if they are sick but not if they are contagious. I will give you a calender for the entire year so you will know all closings way in advance. With the exception of power outage and funeral. I began because I was worried about my children who would watch them when I went to work and would they really be good to my kids. The daycare began! I take great pride in hanging out with the little ones when parents cannot. I have a 21 year old that is a nanny and going to school. My 17 year old is dual enrolled so she attends college also. Then I have a 15 and a 14 year old. I could of stopped when they all started school, but I really enjoy what I do.We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats plus one fish! My discipline policy is simple always try to explain and/or redirect but if need be we have 1,2,3, if we get to 3 it is a time out based on child's age - a 3 year old would get 3 minutes. This is even followed with the dogs! I would love to talk more or give you a walk through if you are interested.
