I am certified Child Development Assistant with the province of Alberta, and was until recently, with an accredited agency. My daughter is home-schooled (grade 1), so we are delving into the world of phonics, colors, letters, numbers, and patterns! My home is pet free, and smoke free. Everything in the living areas is child-centered with regards to how it is set up. My play centers are clearly defined and organized. My yard is completely enclosed with a privacy fence.
• My Criminal Record Check is clear. My CFSA check is clear, and First Aid is completed.
• I have taken the following courses at Family Center: Basic Parenting, Parenting the special need child, 123 magic.
• Also have taken the courses required by Social Services to be a foster parent. Was a foster home for about a year.
• I have completed the Orientation to Childcare course, which has qualified me with the Province as a Child Development Assistant (ECE 1). My day home program offers:
• Child centered programming
• Accessible play centers
• Transportation to and from area schools is available. Previous to becoming a child care worker, my daughter was in both day care centers and a dayhome. The dayhome fit her needs best. She loved it and has made tremendous progress. I love the format and the flexibility. My goal is to make the children in my care feel like a part of my little family. I am willing to adapt my program for children with special needs, and know from personal experience the flexibility required on the providers part to do so effectively. If this sounds like the kind of care scenario that you are seeking, please don’t hesitate to contact me through email, or a phone call. If I am unable to answer, I’m probably playing with my lovely monkey, so if you leave a message, I’ll get back to you as quickly as I can.
