Shaw Family Home Child Care And Preschool

Philosophy: As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth at their own pace. I offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. We take a small number of children in order to provide a fun and safe atmosphere for each child with one on one care as well as socialization.

Attending Shaw Family Home Child Care and Preschool should be an enjoyable experience for the child as well as the parent. While at child care, your child will be exposed to many kinds of learning experiences including:

*Arts and Crafts,
*Music and finger play,
*Story time,
*Large and small muscle play,
*Self initiated play,
*Numbers and counting,
*Letter recognition,
*Social development and kindergarten readiness.
