The Home

Our childcare home is located on a quiet street in the  Pinewood Gardens neighborhood in Virginia Beach. 

We have a fenced yard with playsets, a sand and water table, several riding toys, and plenty of room to run and explore. 

Our house has lots of age appropriate books, toys, and activities. No one in our home smokes or drinks. The home is pet friendly and childproof.

The Provider

I am from a large family and am the oldest of 6 children, so I have been babysitting since I my early teen years. I opened my own home daycare in 2002 and love my job! 

I have taken several Early Childhood Education classes at Tidewater Community College as well as attended many training classes through the Professional Family Child Care and Early Education Association of which I am a member. 

In 2004 and 2006, I became the proud mother of 2 wonderful children of my own. 

 

The Childcare

My aim in creating this daycare is to provide a secure loving home away from home for children of working and student parents of Hampton Roads. 

This is a well child daycare. I will only watch children that are not ill for the safety of all of the children in my care and their families. 

Parents are always welcome to call or stop by anytime their child is here to see how they are doing.

               

 

The Preschool

I use a literature based pre-K homeschool curiculum that does an excellent job of creating a love of reading and learning.

I also use The Creative Curriculum for Preschool and Family Childcare for most of our activities and to create a developmentally appropriate learning environment.

*Circle Time (Good Morning Song, Weather, Calendar, etc.)

*I read aloud to the children many times throughout the day 

*Daily activity related to one of the books we read.

*Dramatic Play

 

In addition to the daily activities, the following activities are done one or more times per week:
