Searcy Family Child Care

I am a licensed in home child care facility. The children that are enrolled here witness diversity, and they learn acceptance of each other as friends. I begin pre-school learning activities at 18mo-20mo (depending on the childs ability to communicate). For example, I have a four year old who has a year before entering kindergarden, his mother took him to enroll in pre-school, they turn him away because he was already prepared, and the school wanted children enrolled who need the help.

I make sure the children have well balanced meal at every sitting. All meals will have a fruit, a vegetable or both. The children have snacks in between meals, and they have water and 100% juice with their meals. I also make sure my parents have a date night, which is about every 3 months. This is a free night because I have a pajama party, where I invite all children enrolled in Searcy Family Child Care.

It is imperative that parents communicate with the provider, and the provider with the parent. So, not only do I speak with them on pick up about their childrens day, but I also have a time where we meet or have a cookout where we get to know each other and keep it open.

The amount of time the children are allowed to watch T.V. is minimal, because the activities involved in a day amounts to, too much to sit in front of the boob tube for 10hours. However, we do incorporate movie's from time-to-time and even sometimes during quiet time.
