Tinker Time Childcare & Preschool

Tinker Time is the perfect combination of a childcare center and preschool in a loving home environment. In our home, we strive to provide only the very best. We offer a clean, safe, healthy and fun experience for your child.
Tinker Time was organized to provide learning opportunities for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, and School-Age children in the community. Specializing in early childhood care and cultivating healthy development for toddlers and preschoolers.
My program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children. I provide experiences that challenge and support each child's cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and creative development. During the course of the day each child has opportunities to create, explore the environment, develop personal interaction skills, and learn problem solving skills and concepts through first hand experience. I encourage exploration and involvement. I also believe that each child should have a developmental screening in the early years through a free community agency.
I am supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child. I respect the parent as the primary and most important person in the child's life. I try to compliment your role by allowing the children to feel secure and enjoy themselves when they are in my care. Everything I do is designed with the express interest of nurturing your child when you are not available.
Vision Statement/Philosophy
My program philosophy is based on beliefs that:
Each child is an individual, unique in his/her background.
Children have different rates of developing and ways of learning.
Learning at the toddler and preschool level is play based.
Self-esteem and the ability to learn are interdependent.
Music and motion are essential to development of circuitry in the brain.
It is my responsibility to ensure an environment that provides:
A wide variety of play-based learning.
Play centers with age appropriate toys and media.
Seasonal or themed play and activities.
Group & individual games and activities that use large muscle groups.
