Family Child Care

I am a certified teacher who has had trouble looking for adequate child care for my own 1-year-old son in the Morgantown area. Frustrated with long wait lists, nanny nightmares, and home daycare woes, I've decided to start caring for children out of my home. I am CPR and First Aid certified and my husband is a physician. We moved to Morgantown three years ago for his medical residency. Since then, I have worked in a local daycare and taught and coached in the public schools. We live in a charming home in South Park (near a public school bus stop) and have a cocker spaniel. I use cloth diapers with my child and make all of my own baby food using fresh fruits and vegetables. Likewise, meals provided for your child will consist of fresh fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains.

Since I run a very small operation, your child will be able to eat, play, and nap on his/her own schedule, unlike the larger child care facilities. We have a large backyard for outdoor play and a family garden. Television and gaming systems are nonexistent in our home. We prefer active play, reading, and hands-on discovery. Your child's safety, well-being, and happiness are my number one priority, and my educator experience will provide appropriate structure and educational opportunities to help your child grow and develop.

My hours are 7:00 AM-5:30 PM, Monday-Friday, but I can work out a schedule based on your family's particular needs. I offer full-time or part-time care for $35/day. After school care and extra hours is $10/hour. I offer tutoring and music lessons for older children.
