Little Lights Bright Minds

Hello! I am the owner of Little Lights Bright Minds Christian Home Daycare and Preschool (www.LittleLightsBrightMinds.com), a state-registered family home daycare! I have my FBI and state child-abuse clearances, and am certified in CPR and first aid. I am conducting interviews for immediate openings for my program and would love the opportunity to speak with you as you plan your child's future!

I am a former private school teacher with over 15 years of experience working in such capacities as a nanny, preschool assistant teacher, nursery primary care provider, Sunday school teacher, high school summer science instructor and music teacher for grades K-8.

My caregiving style can best be described as warm, loving, cautious (toward safety), and organized. I follow a daily schedule and offer two homemade, nutritious meals and snacks per day (our menu is comprised of organic and natural foods!!). Our home is very organized, with five main areas designated and prepared for the children: a classroom, baby and toddler room, nap room, playroom, and enclosed outdoor play area. In each room/area there are safe areas and age-appropriate materials for all of the children in our care. The classroom materials and layout are more geared toward preschoolers, while the baby and toddler room materials and layout are geared towards the younger ages; however there are special areas and activities suited to all age groups in both of these rooms. We rotate throughout the rooms in the house as a group. Our home is clean and orderly.

I offer a customized, structured preschool program with daily lesson plans, incorporating Bible stories, math, science, social studies, foreign language, phonics and much more! Our program consists of a combination of traditional, Montessori, and Christian (loving and non-denominational) approaches. Please visit our website at www.littlelightsbrightminds.com/about.html to learn more about my program philosophy and caregiving and teaching methods. Our website also includes information about our menu and daily schedule.

Infants and young toddlers receive loving care that respects their routines and includes them in our activities in an age-appropriate way. Each area has a safe place to secure baby, such as an infant swing, bouncy seat, exersaucer, or playpen (all used according to the baby's age), or a child-safe space to crawl and walk.

Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you!
