Pollywogs Play & Learn

Hi, my name is Sara and I am currently preparing my home to begin providing childcare for preschool aged children in the area. I do plan to pursue getting licensed as both a childcare and preschool program. We are doing some remodeling of our downstairs/childcare area and in the process of having a six foot privacy fence put up around the backyard. Although I will not be licensed yet, I do plan to begin providing care Monday, August 11th. Additionally I am in the final stages of also being licensed as a foster care home. I believe in quality over quantity and a lot of one-on-one attention and hands on learning, so I only plan on taking 6 full time children, ages 3 years old - 5 years old. I may leave a couple spots open for children 12+ months old but you must provide what is needed for their care; diapers, wipes, formula, bottles, safe sleeper, etc. The focus of Pollywogs is quality early childhood development, education and care. Rates are $150/week ($30/day) and are due bi-weekly, hours are Monday-Friday 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Here is a little background information on me; I love young children, early childhood is such a magical time in a child's life, and I cannot imagine any career for me that does not involve working with kids. I have an AS degree in Special Education & Early Childhood, and a BS degree in General Studies with an area of emphasis in Elementary & Special Education. In addition I have a great deal of course work in Child Development. I formerly taught preschool for four years. I am excited for this new career adventure! Depending on enrollment, I may sometimes have a friend helping me part-time, she is also a former teacher and holds a BS degree in Early Childhood Education. She is absolutely amazing with young children. I look forward to working with your little pollywogs!
