The Cozy Nook

Hi! I'm a dedicated stay at home mom with a passion for fun learning and caring for children. I have 2 children of my own ages 4 and 3. (11 months apart) I have been a caregiver, of some sort, for years. Other than raising my own two,I have over 20 years of experience in caring for children of family members of all ages, throughout through the years. Here, at The Cozy Nook, I offer a safe, loving, friendly, clean family environment for children to flourish. Our focus is fun learning. Your child will be able to explore free-play and even play dress-up in our dedicated brightly decorated playroom. They can opt for a little personal time in our reading nook exploring the treasures of books at their disposal. Participation in our more structured fun-learning activities in our dedicated "school" learning zone, is encouraged, but never mandatory. This is where your child may opt to l explore fun activities with media-time, art, vocabulary, letters with phonics, numeral recognition and counting, songs, q&a story time and have a great time striving toward overall school preparedness (using the VDOE school readiness plan as our guide to fun ideas for productive learning). We also have plenty of outside play space and an onsite playground. I am open for day shift starting at 500 am-5:00pm M-F and we also offer overnight care options between 9pm-600am (space permitting) M-F; before and after care options, are available as well for the Hardy Elementary school zone. For dayshift lunch and 2 snacks is included, I am accepting applications for children ages 18months-5 years old for dayshift and 18months-12 years old for overnight. If my in-home childcare service, sounds as though it may fit your needs please contact me anytime. I look forward to speaking with you.
