Home Daycares in Townsend

Hello, Families! Thank you for taking the time to learn about Peachtree Playschool! I'm Beth, and I come from a background including 14 years experience as a group child care provider, ultimately serving as a program director, and 6 years as an Early Intervention Developmental Specialist. Working with children has always been my favorite way to spend my time. I believe that when you run a child care program, you become an extension of the family. I know it can be hard to leave your child each day, but through my program, I hope parents will see that their children are not only well cared for, but they are also learning and growing with their friends.

I’m a mom of two, who used to work full-time in the healthcare industry and in public health, so I have first-hand experience of what it’s like to find child care. I know how frustrating the process can be! So when I opened Day Street Discovery School, I wanted to create the child care program that I wish I’d been able to find for my own daughters. At Day Street Discovery School we put families first, and we see parents as crucial partners in developing a child care experience that best fits their families’ needs. We do this by developing open lines of communication, so no questions ever go unasked or unanswered. From nap schedules to potty training concerns, I am always willing to collaborate with parents and families to find a solution that works for everyone! I feel very lucky to be able to draw on the passion I have for my children’s education and development, my own experiences with navigating child care, and my professional healthcare and public health knowledge to provide a service that I know is really needed for local families.

Having a home daycare is my joy! The children I care for are with me for years and grow with my own 3 children. What could be better? I started working with children as a child care professional in daycare centers 18 years ago, and I have been caring for children ever since. Opening my own child care program in my home gave me the opportunity to create the engaging, welcoming environment that I think is so important. I especially love to watch them express themselves, but the truth is that so many parts of the day and the week bring me a lot of joy. Through it all, I focus on academic and social readiness. One of the best parts of working with children is watching them learn and grow. The work is incredibly rewarding, especially when I think about all the children and families I've impacted over the years. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

My favorite thing about caring for children is watching them explore and discover. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 8 years of experience. I have worked as a nanny in private homes, and most recently I have been taking care of my own children. People have said that I create an environment that is nurturing and welcoming. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to take children outside to explore and play. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. That's what makes this work so special.
