Yes, we do work with DHS and other state subsidies

What ages do you care for?

We offer care for children 6 weeks to 6 years old. The children are able to stay with the same teachers and environment for 5-6 years.

Do you have any animals?

Our home has two small dogs that are Hypoallergenic. They are Bichon Frise's. We also have a cat that is never in daycare or home space. The children also care for two guinea pigs that they feed, water and touch. There are Chickens and rabbits outside as  pets too.

What meals do you provide?

Good nutrition is important. We provide your child with a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks. We serve natural healthy foods and limit processed food. Please let we know if your child has any food allergies. We follow the USDA food program regulations.

How do you discipline?  Children are usually fine
 

when a dispute arises if they are guided in different directions or shown other toys to play with. We observe the situation and see if they can resolve it first. They sometimes will be given a break if the behavior is hurtful to someone else. This gives them time to regain themselves and plan a change in their actions and apologize to the person he/she hurt.  Not at anytime can we ever be asked to do any form of corporal punishment

Do you  watch TV?

We do not feel that it is appropriate for young children to watch TV, play Video Games, or be on the computer. We feel that their time here should be spent building their minds, using their imaginations, & exploring the world around them. 

How many teachers per child?

Our teacher/child ratio is very low. Usually 1 teacher to 4 to 5 children. Depending on the children’s age.
