Home Daycares in West Boylston

I have been an Early Educator since 2001. I am Lead Teacher Certified for Infants, Toddlers and Preschool, along with Director I & Director II Certified. I am a member Of NAEYC, MAAEYC & FCPRA organizations where I attend monthly developmental trainings. I am also a member of Early Childhood & Elementary Education Club, an outreach program to children and families through Mount Wachusett Community College. My CPR & First Aid Certifications are current. In 2014 earned my CDA (Child Development Associate) credential through the Council for Professional Recognition in Washington. I am currently working towards Level 3 on the Massachusetts QRIS (Quality Rating and Improvement Systems) state rating scale. This program guides Educators to continue improving quality in Family Childcare. My outdoor program is certified by The National Wildlife Federation. We spend time outdoors everyday (weather permitting) where the children can fully engage all their senses, free to explore in a safe, fenced in backyard, and inspire an appreciation for the natural world.

My name is Salma, and I am the owner and Director of Mini Miracles Family Daycare of West Boylston Massachusetts. I'd like to first say thank you for taking the time to review my program and to congratulate you on taking these first steps towards an early childhood education for your child. I have worked in early childhood programs for over a decade. I have taken all of my knowledge from years of experience and created a program that parents will feel good about. Being a parent myself, I understand how difficult it is to choose a childcare provider that you are comfortable with. It is extremely important that you and your child feel respected and cared for at Mini Miracles. The safety and well being of all of the children we provide care for is extremely important to me. I am a true believer that children thrive best when their parents as well as other caregivers work together in their child's education. I treat children with the same loving care as i would want someone to treat my own child. Parents will not have to worry about their child not getting the individual love and attention they need in my program.

I've been in early childhood education since 2007! I started doing home daycare to be with my son when he was just a year old. I figured I'd get to teach him, love him and offer the same to the kiddos in my neighborhood. Maybe I'd do it until he was in school. He starts high school this year - 2020! I could never tear myself away - I just love what I do so much! I started working with children in my home daycare program in 2007. Opening my own child care program in my home gave me the opportunity to create the nurturing, comfortable 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 learning through play. 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 I've helped learn. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

There is a moment in every child’s life where they learn how to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. It’s so exciting knowing that you’ve helped them come out of their shell! For example, there was one student in my program who struggled around lunchtime. He had a hard time eating on his own, but we worked on it together, and then it was one his favorite parts of the day. Working with young children means that I am often there to cheer on these personal triumphs.
