When operating my in-home day care, I use the highest standards of affordable quality care by implementing a developmentally-appropriate curriculum and providing children with rich, stimulating activities which foster all areas of development physical, emotional, social, language, and cognitive. Each week in my day care a new thematic approach to learning is enhanced where children can make connections with themes they can relate to and use in real life, play is their vehicle for learning and a refection of their development, and a balance between structure, active and quiet activities are provided. Uses of learning centers is incorporated in my program to help children develop abilities and competence through all the domains physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and language for example book area, manipulative area, art area, and cooking. Parents can feel confident in leaving children in my care to meet your child's needs for health, happiness, and safety.

I work with many special needs children and I so enjoy helping them achieve milestones and meet higher levels of development. My favorite part is when we've been working very hard to advance the child to the next stage and then something clicks. Parent's relief in that progress and the role that I get to play in helping the children grow is a huge motivator for me to the best provider I can. I want to see as many kids as possible come through my program and leave as strong as they can. Education, particularly learning through play, and socialization are huge in my program. The first day of kindergarten can be difficult and starting the process of socialization beforehand makes a huge difference. I want to make the kiddos and their parents' whole journeys as easy as possible. What is NeighborSchools?

At Miles of Smiles Childcare, we are always focused on learning, but in ways that are fun and engaging. I think everyone-children and adults-learns best when they're having fun. Even when we are doing something ordinary, I'll sing a song about it; the kids think it's so funny, and it really keeps their attention. Throughout the day, we review the alphabet and other lessons, dance and sing songs, create arts and crafts, and read and tell stories. I always incorporate lots of sensory play into our days. In the backyard, I fill buckets with water and place toys inside, so kids can explore the different textures and really let their imaginations run wild. I also make boxes with sand or shredded paper and bury objects inside. Sometimes you can create the best toys out of the simplest items! What is NeighborSchools?
