I aim to provide love and positive attention in everything we do at Linda's Nest Daycare. It is so important that children learn the basics-like numbers, letters, shapes, and colors-but I also ensure they learn the value of kindness, compassion, and teamwork. Everything children learn now will help them later on in life, so I adapt our activities to each child's needs and learning style to make sure they can do their very best. I love art and like to put a creative spin on learning activities whenever possible. We also have lots of story books to jumpstart kids' creative thinking. What is NeighborSchools?

I follow a routine that is appropriate for a mixed-age group. My curriculum includes lots of activities to stimulate kids of different ages. Every day brings something new and unexpected, but I use a schedule and routine to help structure our days while being flexible when necessary. I believe that learning comes from play, so I provide kids with lots of opportunities to discover, imagine, and be creative throughout the daily schedule. When we're outside, we look at the birds, the squirrels, and even the worms. Circle time, reading time, music and dancing, and meals are also important parts of our day. Circle time includes singing songs, learning routines, games, previewing the daily schedule, and other community building activities. When I read to children, I also work to instill in them a love of books so that they'll keep wanting to read. When they're older, they'll learn so much from reading! What is NeighborSchools?
