Little Angel Wings Daycare Inc. -Landline

ve, building self-esteem. Licensed and CPR certified since 2002. Little Angel Wings Childcare is a licensed in-home daycare located just East of Sagewood Elementary School. I believe that all children should always feel like they are welcomed and loved, have a healthy atmosphere to grow and learn in, and are truly happy in their home-away-from-home. Children should have the opportunity to laugh, have fun and just be kids while they are small; life is too short to have it any other way. This is why we make are daily lessons fun and exciting...not everything needs to be taught with pen and paper. Communication is a key aspect for both the parents and myself to ensure the best possible care for your little ones while in my daycare! I encourage input from the parents and feel that this is a partnership in raising your little ones the best we can. By providing daily notes, updates on new or changing requirements per the state, and periodic sit-down chats, I hope to achieve my goal in wanting to meet your child's needs and helping them to grow into healthy, mature little people. ABOUT ME
My name is Sonya Reckling. I'm originally from Norfolk, NE and the middle of five kids. I absolutely LOVE being from a big family-every day was a new adventure with never a dull moment. My love of children started when I was still a child myself. At the age of 10 I begged my parents to let me take a CPR/First Aid class, so I could get certified, allowing me to start babysitting on my own, and ...I have be caring for little ones ever since. My weekends mostly consisted of babysitting until I moved to Omaha in 1994 to further my education in Interior Design, graduating with Honors. Throughout my life I have had all sorts of interesting jobs, but none as fulfilling or rewarding as when I was working with children. I have experience working at a number of childcare places, such as a commercial daycare center, I was a nanny for three wonderful families here in Omaha and then started my own daycare in 2002. Wanting to do more for children to allow them to discover their own little personalities and develop friendships with other children, I bought my home in January 2002 and one month later I opened my daycare. My belief is that kids deserve to have the opportunity to learn respect (not just for others, but for themselves as well), manners, patience, build self-esteem and how to communicate, all while having fun. It is my goal to make sure that every child that enters my daycare feels comfortable, as if it is their home away from home! I want all the kids that come into my home to know that they an just be themselves and feel safe. Every day is an adventure learning new things together and finding new ways to make learning exciting. My home daycare is pet-free, smoke free and I clean the toys and books on a regular basis in hopes that we can create a very healthy environment with fewer illnesses. I have purchased a new Rainbow vacuum cleaner to help reduce allergens in the air during cold and flu season and freshen the air when it just feels stuffy. We leave our shoes at the door so the babies won't be crawling through dirty carpet and in turn get it in their mouths. I started my business with the thought of having my own little ones one day. After 10 years of establishing my daycare and preschool , I welcomed a daughter on May 29, 2012. I am now experiencing the love and joy for myself that I have seen in all of my daycare families for so many years. I am so blessed to be working in a job that I truly love and being a stay at home mom at the same time. My life is full of joy being surrounded by little ones every day! DAILY LOOK
