Home Daycares in Barre

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.

I have been around children my whole life! I started babysitting when I was 12 years old and as I grew older and had my own child, I babysat more and more for single mothers. After many years working in business, I decided to combine my love of children with my business skills. I started taking courses and learning about program planning and learning and development in children. I loved it! While I worked for a little while in a daycare center, I decided to open my own program because my own son went to a family child care program growing up. The provider was so helpful to me and set up a loving environment for my son, so I felt very comfortable. I aim to give that same comfort to parents who want their child in a smaller home setting for child care. Not only that, but development is one of the most important aspects of my program too. I love seeing how quickly children learn and helping them grow is a joy for me.

I have 9 years of experience taking care of young children. 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 learning through play. I aim to create an environment that is welcoming and happy 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 I've helped grow and learn.

Children are so sweet and so innocent and it brings me such joy to work with them. I mean, I've fostered kiddos, tutored, substitute taught - any way I can work with them, I do with a smile! I'm so proud to be offering loving and educational care to the littles in my neighborhood. My favorite thing about caring for children is that they start to show you their little personalities. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 22 years of experience. I have a lot of experience as an teacher in an elementary school People have said that I create an environment that is engaging and nurturing. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to read books to them. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. That's what makes this work so special.
