I believe children learn best when they are having fun. For that reason I provide creative and educational toys that allow children to learn through play. Lesson plans incorporate songs and games to keep children engaged. I believe parents are teammates with whom I share the common goal of helping the child succeed. For that reason I encourage open communication if the parents have any questions or concerns. I post weekly recaps online and send home monthly newsletters so parents can reiterate current topics at home and be informed on what their children are learning. I believe the environment should be stimulating and meet each child's individual needs. For that reason I divide the room into play stations, giving children the opportunity to play together in small groups or apart when they need space. I believe that the provider should be accepting of all children regardless of their race, ethnic, economic, or religious background. For that reason I celebrate diversity and include imagery of people from other cultures in the center. I will be a role model to teach children to accept others differences and that everyone is special. I believe that the health and safety of the children is my primary responsibility. For that reason I have a safe environment, including childproof outlets, safety gates, and proper supervision. There is also a health policy to prevent children being exposed to illness. I believe that good nutrition is the foundation to learning and growing. For that reason I serve nutritious meals and snacks. I serve fresh produce and purchase organic when I can. I avoid preservatives, added hormones, or highly processed foods. I serve whole grains everyday, and have a reverse osmosis water filter. I believe that guidance is most effective when children are encouraged to identify their own, and others, feelings. For that reason I talk with children about what happened, why it happened, and how it affects others.

About me: My name is April and I have been a Preschool and Kindergarten teacher as well as an Early Childhood Director for 7 years. I also have my degree in Early Childhood Education. My husband, an Associate Principal in the Appleton School District, and I have three beautiful children ages 6, 4 and 2. What to expect from me: I am looking for one child to join in the daily fun and activities while my oldest attends school. Anywhere from infant to age 4. I will provide safe at home care as a mother and a teacher. I will have an educational setting that will include numeracy and literacy learning on a daily basis. I will encourage healthy eating and sleeping habits. I will also be fostering structured learning and play times that incorporate important social behaviors. Cost: Fees will depend on how many months of the year and days of the week the children will be attending. Lowest cost will be children attending 5 days a week/ 9 months a year. Payment would be in cash on the last day of attendance every week. I am flexible enough to charge for the days that you use, however, please give me one week's notice for planned absences or vacation days. Starting: Care can begin in late August!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Appleton, WI

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Appleton, WI, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.

From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Appleton, WI.
