Ruthies Rubies Child Care

Family child care in a "home like" setting is the best alternative there is for working parents. It provides a small secure environment for children during the most important time of their development. Family child care offers a home away from home, providing children with "siblings" of all ages, to play, socialize, and learn from. My goal in providing quality child care for your child is to provide...

1.A safe environment
2.A nurturing environment
3.A learning environment... learning is not necessarily the ABC's and 123s but is also the learning of values. The learning of honesty, respect, self-reliance, and potential, self-discipline, and moderation, the values of being; dependable, love, sensitivity to others, kindness, friendliness and fairness are the values of giving.
4.To foster unconditional love... this kind of love is very important to me because children should not grow up feeling that in order to be loved and cared for, they must meet numerous conditions.
