Home Daycares in Westford

I believe that providing a positive and nurturing environment will instill lessons that will last a lifetime! As an avid practitioner of play-based learning, I am always looking for fun themed activities, games and crafts that will be interesting for infants and toddlers using a lot of materials that is readily available around the house. I also use Funshine Express buttercups curriculum for themed arts and crafts designed for ages one to three years old. With a background in Business Administration and long-time business owner, I run my daycare with a healthy mix of flexibility and the predictable structure that children thrive on. I like to spend my free time with my two teenagers and husband traveling to different places, cooking healthy foods, trying international cuisines and watching movies together as a family.

I've always cherished being around little ones and encouraging them to learn while playing. My own children grew up around my home daycare and have gone into the education field, as well! You could say I was born to care for kiddos! My favorite thing about caring for children is that they are all different. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 30 years of experience. People have said that I create an environment that is nurturing and engaging. I focus on learning through play, and I especially love to sing and dance with them. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've taught and watched grow. That's what makes this work so special.

I became a mom over 7 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 comfortable, friendly 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 grow and learn. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

It’s really rewarding to create an environment where young children can learn and thrive together. Daycare-aged kids are at such an exciting point in their lives: they are gaining independence, and they are figuring out how to make friends outside of their immediate family. In the nearly six years that I worked at daycare programs, it was great to work with so many different children, and to jumpstart their love of learning. I gleaned a lot about how to orchestrate a harmonious learning environment. It’s important to take every individual’s personality, strengths, and interests into account, and having a small program will really allow for that. Fostering a supportive program where children can be themselves can lead to remarkable things.
