Home Daycares in Wareham

When I say I've been doing this for over 30 years, I mean that my own children grew up in my childcare and now I have my grand babies, too! I find so much joy in creating a safe and warm environment for little ones to grow and learn - it's my true passion! My favorite thing about caring for children is witnessing their curiosity and joy. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 35 years of experience. I have worked as a mom in my home, and most recently I have been running my own program. People have said that I create an environment that is welcoming and happy. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to watch them express themselves. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. That's what makes this work so special.

I started working at a daycare when I was looking for a summer job, and it turned into something that I love. I worked for five years at that daycare, first in the toddler room and then with preschool-aged children. I loved all parts of the job - working with parents, circle time, story time, activities, implementing the curriculum. I transitioned to working as a nanny for individual families, and I learned so much from each family I worked with. I learned more about the family side of raising children; I became part of the village for each child I cared for. I also learned lots of specific skills - speech therapy, techniques to aid physical and cognitive development - because of the individual needs of the children for whom I was a nanny. I loved working one-on-one, but I missed the sense of the classroom and the community that I always build there. Now that I have opened my program, I get to combine the best of both worlds. I have a classroom community, a curriculum, and a daily routine while applying the personalized attention and love that I learned so much about as a nanny. I am an educator who is shaping children for the future, and I would like to make an impression on every child.

I have always loved taking care of children, and have raised two of my own. I am fascinated by children’s psychology, and I am inspired to find different ways of working with children based on their individual needs and personalities. The most important part of what I do is making sure children are safe and feel secure enough to learn and grow in my care.

Children have so much wonderful energy! I discovered what a delight it is to engage with kids while working as a hairstylist, and that feeling only got stronger when I had my own children and grandchildren. I couldn’t have known it at the time, but having four children under five was excellent practice for what I’ve realized as my calling – taking care of little ones. I love the constant bustle of activity in my home daycare, and all the laughter and special milestones I get to be a part of. Creating a happy, nurturing place for children to spend their days is so fulfilling, and I’m proud when I think of all the children I’ve helped learn and grow.
