Little Rockers Daycare

Hi, I'm Amanda, and I offer full or part time daycare, as well as occasional or as-needed babysitting. I will make sure your child is in a fun, loving, safe environment; will provide opportunity for your child to explore, imagine and create; and will nurture your child with lots of hugs, high fives and praise when they succeed and encouragement when they are challenged. I have spent 9 years creating a rich, child-centered, healthy environment for my own children and I'd like to do that for your child as well.

My daycare is licensed and I offer full and part-time care for children ages newborn to five years old. My hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. I prepare a healthy breakfast, lunch and two snacks a day for the children. I can adapt meals for a child with allergies (daughter has a serious nut allergy). My discipline policy, depending on the age of the child, is to use reinforcement, discussion and/or redirection when misbehavior occurs, with time out as a last resort. I keep a daily log and can send pictures and/or texts about your child. I taught my two daughters (now 7 and 9) how to sign when they were babies and would be happy to do that with your child. My fee is $50 a day for full-time and I offer discounts in certain circumstances. Fees for occasional or as-needed babysitting are negotiable and depend on the number of children and when the care is needed.

Our day will include age appropriate activities, with a preschool curriculum chosen to ensure your child hits all the developmental milestones. We engage in pre-literacy activities and read every day, celebrate holidays around the world, have a cooking class once a week, sing songs and engage in imaginative play. We will slay dragons, put on puppet shows, explore the garden with all its creepy crawlies, do science experiments and arts and crafts. Every day will be a happy, educational day for your child. I will guide your child in the acquisition of communication and language skills, self confidence, respect for self and others, manners and kindness to all living things.

My experience includes current volunteer work as a Sunday school teacher, leader of two Girl Scout troops, multiple courses in child development, organizing and teaching VBS at my church and weekly volunteering in the library at my daughter's school.

I would love to meet you and your child to see if we are a good fit. Let's talk!
