My child care philosophy is based on the importance of connecting, be empathetic, and being consistent. I love working with children because of their curiousity and enthusiasm for life. If they want something they go for it. These are qualities that need be nurtured and encouraged. They are amazed by the world and all the opportunities it provides and we are here to help them develop emotionally, physically, and mentally to be able to achieve life goals. I encourage exploration; try new foods, turn the rock over and see what is under it, make that craft. I’m there guide and say okay we used the scissors but if we run with the scissors there’s a likely chance we could get hurt. Make chalk drawings on the sidewalk but the street is for cars and here’s is why. To teach in a manner that is kind but will also be remembered Read more and then always enforce and be consistent with those teachings. For newborns and infants I focus connection and including them in daily life. To help them touch water from the sink, to feel the puppies fur, to hold grass and smell flowers. To go places and see new things. To introduce them to children, go to reading class learn to sit still for 5 minutes at a time. To know that they have someone that cares about their needs and emotions. For the parents and the childcare provider its important to have open communication and relay information as needed. If necessary to create schedules so the parents know what’s going on and where or if plans change, send a quick text. “Hey, Sarah’s being a extra cranky we are leaving the reading class and going home to check her temperature and see what’s going on. I’ll send you an update soon”. I love working with families to create a worry free, happy, and healthy lifestyle for their children.
