Child Care in Acton

I have a degree in Child and Youth Studies, as well as an extension diploma of Children's Mental Health. I focus mainly on optimal health: specifically with self esteem, emotional intelligence, and positive self talk. However, a lot of mental health stems from physical health, and thus physical activity and proper nutrition are key as well. I previously lived in Calgary, AB before moving to the Waterloo Region, and finally settling down in the beautiful town of Acton. I believe in: having a caring environment, learning through play, healthy meals, routine weeks, and exposure to community settings (libraries, early year's centres, learning programs etc). I am looking to care for children in my home (or yours) who attend MSB school. I have one daughter who is six, and I'm looking for families who are interested in helping their children succeed, grow, and love life. I am walking distance to MSB. I utilize programs in the community and have taken children to swim lessons, gymnastics, kindergarten readiness programs, splash pads, library programs, and more all within my home daycare (of course depending on age.)

| Hello. My name is Megan, and I am 21 years old. In June of 2018, I married my high school sweetheart, and we have been very much enjoying this new chapter of our life together since then. In 2017, I graduated from Sheridan College with an Early Childhood Education diploma. For over a year now, I have been working in a child care centre, and have enjoyed it so much. I have experience with all age groups, but you will usually find me in our infant room. Although working with children can be a challenge and is stressful at times, the rewards of it far outweigh the challenges. I love the field I am in, and I can wholeheartedly say that I chose the best profession for myself.
