Estelle's Child Care

My daycare is a state licensed and certified by Department of Early Education and Care. The hours are from 7:30 to 5:30 Monday to Friday. The daycare space is in our clean and pet free home right off Washington Street in Franklin. I offer healthy meals which include breakfast, 2 snacks and lunch for your child. We have over an acre of land with some woods for the outdoor space for children to explore and a vegetable garden to plant their own vegetables and watch them grow. Our yard is a natural playground and our home is a warm and secure place for your child to learn and grow.

I sincerely enjoy working with children and am dedicated in my job. I can offer your child secure and loving care just as I do to my own and every child I have educated and cared for. I believe in positive reinforcement and that learning should be fun. I make sure children are comfortable with me and encourage them to ask questions so that they will become confident and interested in learning. I provide an age appropriate curriculum based on the children's interests. Curriculum is delivered by integrating language and Literacy, Science, Arts, Social studies and Math activities with children's spontaneous interests. I promote the natural creativity of children by providing materials and opportunities to present their imaginations without limitations.
