Home Daycares in Whitman

It has always been an absolute dream of mine to have my home daycare. I’ve raised my three children and have an associate, bachelor and master’s degrees in early childhood education. I did pre-practicum in preschool and kindergarten in the public schools. I started working with children as a teacher in a daycare center 4 years ago. I have so much to provide to little ones. I especially love to read books, sing and to tell stories to the children, but the truth is that so many parts of the day bring a lot of joy and fun. Through it all, I focus on allowing children to express themselves. One of the best parts of working with children is that they are all different. 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. I am very proud to be a part of my community. This gives me the opportunity to create the welcoming. Nurturing environment that I think is so important. I believe children learn best when they have a good relationship with their teachers. This creates a positive interaction with secure attachment that make the children feel good about themselves in their surroundings. The children learn how to play cooperatively, take turns, improve their language as they communicate with one another.  Having 2-5 years old in my program requires me to know zone of proximal development of each child in order to I use modeling, and scaffolding strategies with visual aids to support an individual child’s learning. This experience will give them unforgettable feelings of being loved that they will carry into their adulthood, and help them to build a positive relationship with others. As a teacher, of young children, I must meet goals and expectations for each child’s learning.

I was in corporate and when my second child was born and the company folded, I was thrilled to be able to be home with my children. Thus began my family child care almost 30 years ago! I wouldn't have it any other way - helping children grow in a warm and loving environment is my passion! For me, one of the best parts of working with children is watching them learn and grow. I feel so fortunate to experience that every day and to share my skills and experience with families through my home-based child care program, where I focus on allowing children to express themselves. I aim to create an environment that is happy and engaging for the children I care about so much. So many parts of this job are fun, but I especially love to sing and dance with them. I can't imagine spending my days any other way. I’m also proud to do this important work. That’s especially true when I think about all the children and families I've impacted over the years.

My mother was a teacher in DR for her whole life and now owns her own school. I grew up just loving working with little children - teaching them and guiding them. It's no wonder I had to open my own home daycare, it's in my genes! My favorite thing about caring for children is watching them learn and grow. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 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 welcoming and comfortable. I focus on helping children work through challenges, and I especially love to take children outside to explore and play. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've taught. That's what makes this work so special.
