Shirley

Hi, I have 2 full time openings available. And.. one opening for just the summer. I live in a great area on the west side of Springdale. My openings are usually filled pretty quick. I have been taking incredible care of children ages infant through school age for over 30 years and I have excellent references. We have a colorful playroom that is used solely for the children, but the children do have access to the other rooms. I not only help children learn their basic ABC's, numbers, shapes and colors, but I also teach manners, how to interact with others, and most of all how to have fun while learning. We enjoy all types of activities... We paint, color, listen to music, play instruments, dance, do crafts, flash cards and much more including my favorite...reading books. We also have just play time to give the children time to explore their imagination. We have our own puppet stage and puppets that the kids just love. A lot of times, we will teach something very important to the children through the use of the puppets such as sharing, manners, why it's good to eat healthy ... and then sometimes we just have fun with the puppets being silly. We have holiday parties and holiday crafts, and I throw each child a special birthday party full of fun, goodies and a gift. We also have the greatest time at Christmas, Halloween and Easter & other days of the year... special crafts, special parties, and at Christmas a visit from Santa . I supply everything except for diapers, wipes and formula for the very young. Breakfast, snacks and lunch are included. Oh and I don't exclude tiny ones from crafts, gifts or anything. (They just get a little help .. lol) I give from my heart to these children everyday and this is not just a job to me. This is my passion ...to give children the best care, with lots of love, kindness and respect. I come very highly recommended and will give you my references. I treat all my children and their parents like family; like it should be. Communication is a big part of that!! I know how much I love the kids that are here and the ones from the past. I love the parents and I know I am appreciated and loved back very much. All the parents would love to talk to you and answer questions for you also. We are all very happy with each other. We have a fenced-in backyard, and play outside everyday as long as the weather allows. My home is very safe, clean and child friendly. I know CPR. My phone number is 479-276-1905
