A few FAQs…
- Hours: Monday through Thursday 7:45 - 5:30 and Friday 7:45 - 5:00
- Location: one mile off of Hwy285. Take Rosalie (where the Giggling Goat used to be) to Ranchettes, then S. Random Road. Exact address only given to enrolled families and those interested in a tour.
- I provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. Meals are nutritious, well-balanced, and organic whenever possible (especially for meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruit). I serve either organic cow’s milk or water with snacks and meals. If you choose to send food or alternative milk with your child that is fine.
- Our daily activities include… reading and group story times, music and dancing, arts and crafts, science experiments, nature exploration, movement/exercise, meditation and yoga, and more! Children are also encouraged to help with daily tasks such as meal prep, clean up, and caring for animals. We will have themes based on seasons, holidays, and the individual interests of the children in my care (i.e. If “Johnny” is interested in garbage trucks, we will learn all about garbage trucks, recycling, landfills, etc. for a week!) While our schedule focuses heavily on group activities, children are also given opportunities for free play, where they may engage in solo or parallel play.
- What do I mean when I say “small”? I will have a maximum of four children in my care at a time (1:4 ratio). My husband will also be available much of the time to assist. My vision is to create a space where children can socialize in a low-stress environment and parents can feel at ease knowing that their child is getting the attention they need. I have both professional experience and personal experience as a mom myself in centers with 8+ children in a room, and even with two caregivers (which is still a ratio of 1:4) the environment is naturally more chaotic and therefore sometimes overstimulating for the children, which distracts from my goal of encouraging healthy social emotional development.
