Hello and Thank You for your interest in "Once Upon a Dream" in home daycare. Starting an in home daycare has been a dream of mine since 2008. I started out in the childcare field the summer of 2007, not knowing years later this would be my life. I worked in two different daycare centers May 2007- April 2009. Starting late March of 2009, I took on a side nanny job a few nights a week for 1 child. In April of 2009 I became a full time nanny with a family of 3 kids. August of 2012 I changed families, and gained experience with special needs kids.I teach Sunday School at the church I attend for ages 5-9 and babysit on the side for many different families. Kids are my pride and joy!
"Once Upon a Dream" is a Christian based atmosphere. Each day the children will be involved in bible stories, Christian music, prayer, and taught basic Christian manners. I am not one for "kids go play all day." Children at this age are so easy to shape and mold and I like to take advantage of that and use time wisely. Daily we will be doing age appropriate "fine and large motor skills", as well as basic ASL. Daily adventures, crafts, meals, snacks, nap time and some "free play" will also be part of the routine. I do not claim to be a professional but I do try different methods to see what works best for each child. Your child is unique and one of a kind, and its my job to take what I know, and work it best with your childs needs and wants.
