Welcome to my family child care home,
I have worked with children for many years as a licensed child care provider and in addition, I have been a very active member in my local child care association, the Howard County Family Child Care Association. I provide a safe and nurturing home environment where children can engage in activities that will allow them to learn and play at their own pace. Childhood is a happy wonderful time and I want to create an environment that is rich with children's laughter and curiosity while providing opportunities for learning through hands-on play.
Johns Hopkins School of Education states, "Early childhood, birth through grade three, is a time of rapid growth and development. Research has shown unequivocally that during these critical first years, young children go through a long period where play and hands-on experiences are vital to learning. This process is essential to later success in more complex tasks. Early learning seems so simple that it is tempting to devalue it as merely a child's recreation rather than recognize it as an extremely complex and absorbing effort to build a rich understanding of the world. Sight and sound, size and shape, must be experienced by a child through all the senses, at his or her own pace." (http://education.jhu.edu/PD/newhorizons/lifelonglearning/early-childhood/).
I offer a flexible daily program where the needs and interests of the children are priority. Children will engage in play centered activities, where they can use their imagination, work on social skills and learn to work together.
We will be entering into a partnership where open dialogue and communication are essential in meeting the needs of your child. It is through our shared knowledge and communication that will encourage your child to learn, grow, and feel secure in home child care.
Childhood is a magical time that only comes once and my goal is to make it a fun, exciting time where opportunities for learning happen every day. If you are truly looking for a second home for your child, look no further, my child care is "Your child's second home." Feel free to fill out the contact form.
I look forward to working with you,
Debbie
