In-Home Daycare
287 Cherry Street, West Newton, MA 02465
Hello ! My name is Ivana, and I opened my Licensed Family Child Care program in August, 1981. I offer Full-time, Part-time and summer care.
I believe that it is important to provide a safe, nurturing and educational environment for your child, one where social, emotional and intellectual growth are promoted and encouraged. I care for children as if they were my own, and I have structured my program to be an extension of your home environment. The atmosphere is one of a large family, and respect for oneself and others are encouraged through love, praise and positive reinforcement.
My current license capacity is 10, as posted on my license. I work with a full time and part time licensed assistants. All family Child Care Educators must carry out a routine that is flexible and responds to the needs and interest of children in care. The routine must include activities that foster the physical needs of the children in care, with at least 60 minutes of physical activity everyday. Child-initiated and educator-initiated activities and daily outdoor play, weather permitting, is always something we strive for.
We have developed a curriculum that engages children with developmentally appropriate activities and specific learning experiences. Our curriculum includes learning self-help skills that foster independence, opportunities to gain problem solving and decision-making competencies, and leadership skills and opportunities to learn about proper nutrition and personal safety. I am also responsible for providing an environment that promotes cultural, social and individual diversity.
Progress reports will be completed periodically for all children in care. I will also provide daily written reports for children 12 months old and under. We provide healthy well-balanced breakfasts, lunches and 2 hearty snacks daily. I am full-blooded Italian, and truly love sharing healthy meals and snacks with my children!
Daily curriculum varies depending on group ages and needs, but a variety of activities are always provided throughout the day: coloring, painting, play dough, puzzles, free play, singing, dancing, reading books, listening to music, talking about weather, water play, sand play, bubbles, slides, nature walks, blocks, toy trucks and cars, trains, animals, dolls, dress up clothes, and circle time--just to name a few! Life with children is always active and exciting!
