Miss Tarah's Home Care

"Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me."
-Fred Rogers

I am dedicated to providing high quality home care with engaging age-appropriate learning experiences for children 18 months to 6 years old. I have a loving, nurturing and educational environment in which children develop to their full potential; physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively and academically (Language with Reading and Writing, Math, Science, Music, Art, Motor Development and Social Studies with special subjects like American Sign Language, Manners, Spanish and Yoga). With my education and license, I can successfully meet these goals. I also have 4 yrs. experience as a Kindergarten Teacher and 3 yrs. experience in a Preschool/Pre-K setting. I ensure that your Pre-K child will be ready for Kindergarten and the elementary school experience. I start out young with the Infant/Toddler Guidelines, moving on to Preschool and then to the Kindergarten Standards to ensure that each child is learning to Ohio's Standards. I am a State Certified Instructor and teach the Infant/Toddler Guidelines and many other Child Development classes (such as Obesity and Challenging Behavior) to Home Care Providers and Center Teachers. I teach and model behaviors based on the theories of Piaget, Vygotski and Reggio Emilia. Daily sheets/ Journal Entries are provided about each child's daily activities (food, bathroom, interest centers).

I have a few part time positions available. I am open Monday-Friday, 7 A.M.-6 P.M.

I do Assessments/Screenings such as Ages & Stages Developmental (Cognitive & Physical), Ages & Stages Social Emotional (SE), Kindergarten DIBELS and general preschool/Pre-K assessments.

I provide a safe, pet-friendly, smoke-free environment.

I do not provide transportation. Private pay only; no vouchers at this time.
You provide your child's breakfast/lunch/snacks daily with the appropriate healthy foods for him/her.
