Family childcare in a “home like” setting is the best alternative there is for working parents. It provides a small secure environment for children during the most important time of their development. A benefit of family care is that I am your child’s consistent and primary caregiver for as long as they are enrolled. Family childcare offers a home away from home, providing children with “siblings” of all ages, to play, socialize, and learn from. My goal in providing quality childcare for your child is to provide…

•     A safe environment

•     A nurturing environment

•     A learning environment… learning is not necessarily the ABC’s and 123’s but is also the learning of values. The learning of honesty, respect, self–reliance, and potential, self-discipline, and moderation, the values of being dependable, love, sensitivity to others, kindness, friendliness, and fairness are the values of giving.

•     A proper approach to discipline… Since children occasionally need discipline, it is important that you and I share a similar philosophy so that your child is not too confused as to where the boundaries are and what is expected of him/her. Children are taught which behaviors are inappropriate, and why, and given alternatives that are acceptable. In this way, the behavior is being changed, without making the child feel “bad” or unloved. This helps develop their self-esteem and teaches them how to manage uncomfortable situations themselves in the future. I express my disapproval (without attacking character). I state my expectations and show your child how to make amends. I give choices, and in certain situations a child may be given a “time out;” because at times a child be having trouble making choices of their own and they just may need a couple of minutes to calm down and think about their choices.

•     And to foster unconditional love… this kind of love is especially important to me because children should not grow up feeling that to be loved and cared for, they must meet numerous conditions.

Communication is key to a successful childcare arrangement. The parent and provider need to have a good working relationship so they can communicate and work together. Parent and provider need to exchange family cultures and values pertinent information in the child’s life such as changes in routine, special events, or activities, as well as changes such as death, divorce, separation, moving, visitors, etc. All this information can be important in understanding the child’s feelings, behavior, and well-being.

I invite you to share with me in writing, by telephone, or schedule an appointment to talk about you concerns on any area that you feel I am neglecting, and I will do my best to improve in that area.

Prior to regular attendance child and family are required to attend a meet and greet so that the children are not as uncomfortable when they get dropped off their first day. Typically, this will mean a brief introduction, a tour of where the children are allowed to go throughout the day and then the children will be allowed to play in the playroom (attached to the office) while the parents go over the more intricate details of enrolling into the daycare.

Parents are welcome to visit my childcare program at any time during the hours of operation unless parental access is prohibited or restricted by a court order. If so, I will need a copy of the order. Please understand that I cannot legally limit access to a parent if there is not a copy of the court order on file at the center. Tiny Tots Daycare LLC does not discriminate based on race, color, creed, nationality, sexual orientation of parents, or identification as a gender other than that which was designated at birth.

Parents have access to all records and reports for their own children upon request unless restricted by court order.
