Mommy's & Daddy's Creation

Mommy's & Daddy's Creation strives to provide a safe, comfortable, stimulating and fun educational environment in my home with a semi-structured day and night plan. Activities include free playtime, structured playtime, large motor skills playtime, small motor skills activities, story time and theater activities, arts and crafts, music and dance activities, and other educational yet fun activities. Mommy's & Daddy's Creation will also provide nutritious meals and snacks, and encourage good personal hygiene and manners.

The television will rarely be on during regular care hours and then only to watch educational programs or activities which I have personally pre-screened to be appropriate for even the youngest viewers. An HP computer will be available for all ages to use, but only under supervision. School-aged children may have internet access, upon written parental consent, but again, only while supervised.

Through a mixture of guided and undirected creative play, children in my care will have the opportunity to learn about color, shapes, textures, numbers, letters, animals, season, feelings, senses, nutrition, personal hygiene, manners, basic Spanish, science and math concepts, and creative concepts such as "pretend" play, art, music, drama, and dance.

These may sound like lofty goals for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but children can learn all of these things and more through creative play. Mommy's & Daddy's Creation will not make a child feel pressured to achieve any developmental milestones. By providing the right kind of fun and safe environment, Mommy's & Daddy's Creation believes that children will learn at their own appropriate pace.
