This strategy allows us to support the children as they play, encouragement instead of praise, and taking a problem-solving approach to conflict. Children engage in both individual and social play, participate in small-and large-group activities, assist with clean-up, socialize during meals, develop self-care skills, and exercise their small and large muscles. Our CURRICULUM offers the children opportunities to explore different approaches to learning, social and emotional development, physical development and health, language, literacy, and communication, mathematics, creative arts, science and technology, social studies, educational field trips, free play, outdoor activities, weekly library, and meals. Our program takes the learning process beyond traditional subjects by applying methods that promote independence, curiosity, decision making, cooperation, persistence, creativity, and problem solving in young children. We believe that children learn best through play. Therefore, we allow ample opportunity for children to enjoy themselves while learning to become life-long learners.

Titi is what my family calls me. As the mother of a blended family of 5, ages 16 years old to 1 years old, I have tailored Titi's Kiddie Care around the type of care that I wanted for my kids. I am an artist with a Bachelor's Degree in Science and coursework in early childhood education, and have been taking care of children for over 20 years. Fun, educational learning where everyone is treated like family! We provide healthy lunches and snacks and believe that childcare should be an extension of the home. Parents really do know their children best! At Titi's Kiddie Care, we believe in co-parenting in order to give the best care to your child. This means getting and giving as much information about your child in order to collaborate as to what works best at home and in the classroom. By doing this we create continuity and stability for them. Babysitting is not what we're about. We believe that everything a child experiences is an opportunity to learn and that learning should extend beyond the classroom. The goal is to achieve both academic and life success for your child. Our curriculum includes art, dramatic play, music, math, reading, science, practical life lessons and more! Check out my website for more information.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Dunkirk, MD

Drop-in daycare near you in Dunkirk, MD can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Dunkirk, MD, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Dunkirk, MD may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Dunkirk, MD, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
