Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a State Certified Home Daycare provider who provide childcare in my home. I am a 3 Star Rated Program through Step Up to Quality and Cincinnati Preschool Promise certified! I have been in the child care field for about 12 years now. I have an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Cincinnati State Technical Community College. I graduated with my Associates in 2007. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I attend monthly training through the child development program in Hamilton County to keep up with updated information regarding child care. I provide an outstanding, safe environment for all children in my care. I am very big on education and child safety. While the children are in my care, we go over age appropriate learning materials such as My Baby can Read, shapes, colors, alphabets, counting, name writing and activities sheets. We also do sensory, fine and gross motor activities, math and science. I like to promote the Ages and Stages of all children. I don't consider myself as a Home Provider, I like to consider myself a Home Educator because we are consistently learning new things. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Jennifer B. says "She is awesome with my boys and does great with keeping me informed on what is happening. My boys love it there!"

Daycare in Anderson Township! (Teacher's children are also welcome) . I provide childcare for children of all ages. I started my home business 18 years ago, when I decided to stay home with my children who are now 18, 23, and 25. I wanted to provide quality childcare at an affordable price with all the comforts of a home setting. I fell in love with the job and can't imagine having any other job. I have a natural love for children and treat all children as if they were my own. I feel that taking care of children is very rewarding and can make a difference in a child's life through love and care. I guarantee that while you are at work, you will have peace of mind that they are happy and in a safe environment. I provide various art activities, painting, coloring, drawing, and various crafts. I also have many learning activities, games, puzzles, flash cards, and literacy activities. I have creative time which includes story time and music time. I have an outside play area in my backyard and an inside play area in the basement. I provide hot, healthy meals. I would love the opportunity to speak to you further regarding your child care needs.
