Dawn's Daycare

I am an experienced Nanny of 9 years along with a home daycare provider for 7 years. I have two children of my own that are 10 & 8.
I have openings in my home for your child. Children are bussed to Aux Sable and Minooka Primary Center with the bus stop in my front driveway. I live next to a park.

With all the love and open arms I have to give to your child, I also provide a daily structured schedule with reading,learning, playtime etc
A normal day would include:

For ages 24 months and up
8:30-9:00 Breakfast, wash-up/clean up

9:00-9:30 circle time (mother goose curriculum)

9:30-10:00 arts & crafts, story-time

10:00-10:30 music- song and dance time

10:30-12:00 outside playtime (weather permitted)

12:00-12:30 free-play and or stuctured play interactive video (mickey mouse club, little Einstein or sesame street, etc)

12:30-1:00 lunch time, clean-up/wash up

1:00-3:00 rest time or quiet time

3:00-4:00 free play or stuctured (puzzles, books, learning toys)

4:00-4:30 afternoon snack, clean-up/wash up

4:30-5:30 outside play/indoor play

For younger than 24 months I'll follow schedule above but along with parents schedule on naps, feeding times etc.

I provide breakfast, lunch and snacks. I just ask for you to bring diapers, baby food and anything extra that you provide your child. I have expeience in children with Type 1 Diabetes and allergies to any foods.

For children 24 months and younger I keep the parents updated with an app called daily connect. Which will allow you to know time of feedings, what they ate during the day,sleep etc
For children older than @4 months i will send home a sheet daily on what they ate, played, learned, etc

I look forward to talking with you and meeting your child. You can leave your child in a open, loving home filled with cuddles, love and affection.

My home is a smoke-free environment
We do have 2 friendly dogs :)
