Carousel Daycare is a home away from home environment for your infant/toddler. I primarily specialize in infant care, and tend to a small group of four infants/toddlers. Being your child's primary caregiver for their first 3 years establishes an environment in which meaningful and lasting relationships develop between myself and your child. Continuity of care during the first 3 years has many bene
fits. Close relationships between your child and myself will flourish. When your child says goodbye to the ones they love every morning, they do not have to say goodbye to the person who is helping them to adjust to life in childcare. I will be the one person who will connect with your child, getting to personally know them and meeting their every need. These early relationships give the child a foundation for success. Secure attachments will enable your child to have trust in their surroundings, and explore their world with confidence. Continuity of care during the first three years is so important as babies learn and grow in the context of relationships. Their first attachments with parents begin the process of learning about the world and creating a secure base. When babies enter child care, the circle of care is expanded to include partnership with their childcare provider. In order to provide personalized and sensitive care, I will do my best to get to know your child and family well. Secure attachments enable children to have trust in their surroundings, explore their world with confidence and develop a positive sense of self. I will create a special bond with your child and will be responsible for all their needs, and for monitoring and supporting your child’s development, and keep open communications with my families. I will learn your child's style, cues and rhythms, so they have a secure base from which to develop. Maintaining these caregiving relationships over several years provides stability and consistency for the child and the family.
