CrunchyLand Home Day Care
Hello! I am a stay at home mom of two wonderful boys aged 8 and 3 and a 10 month old girl. I am currently on leave from my Education degree of which I have been training for 4 years now and I have my BA. I have been involved in childcare for 10 years and I just adore children.
My Childcare Philosophy:
I believe that children should be nurtured, but also able to explore in a safe and fun environment. Toys, books, games, arts and crafts, are all essential to child learning and development, but so are real life experiences such as learning to express emotions properly, use language, learn manners, share, and empathize with others. I believe that children should not be pushed into rigid time schedules that serve only adults, but should learn at their own pace in a place that they feel comfortable and secure. Routine is important to make daily transitions go smoothly, but adaptability and spontaneity in life are also of value.
Childcare Provisions:
* Meals and snacks (focus on healthy, fresh, and homemade foods is a TOP priority. Most of our food is whole, locally sourced and organic.)
* Toys for all ages including:
Wooden kitchen set, food, dishes, etc.
Wooden blocks (large and small set)
Train track set (Thomas)
Lots of puzzles
Fine motor activity boards
Kid's pop up tent/tunnel with balls
Playmobil sets
Marble Run
Plasma car
Toy garage
Stuffed animals and baby dolls
Trucks, cars, etc.
Kid sized musical instruments
Hand and finger puppets
* Many books, art supplies, homemade play dough, craft materials, stickers, and work books (Kumon and similar)
* Large fenced in backyard and deck with outdoor toys (ride ons, walkers, slide...)
* Relaxed playtime
* Flexible naps and mealtimes; routine, but no rigid schedules
* Story time at least once per day (books available all day)
* Safe, eco-friendly environment (no harsh cleaners or detergents used)
* BPA, phalate, and lead free dinnerware, sippy cups, and toys
* Music, rhymes, games, finger puppets
* Comforting, gentle, and patient nap time routine (no long cry it out techniques are applied)
* Potty Training (I've done 3 already!)
* Cloth or disposable diapers welcome
