Welcome!
We are a small family child care home located in beautiful Sebastopol. I open my home to little ones 2 to 4 years old. I use structured and unstructured play as the method for children to learn. While in my care, children have the opportunity to participate in water and sand play, creative art, painting, building, baking, STEAM/STEM projects, dramatic play, loose parts, nature, math, and science exploration. Physical play is an important part of my program. This will include active indoor and outdoor activities, such as stretching, nature walks, gardening, dancing, music, and movement. I participate in a program called Healthy Apple which encourages fun and healthy living through interactive physical play and healthy eating. Social and emotional support is also an important part of my program. Through dramatic play, books, games, songs, and lots of support and modeling, my goal is to help children build relationships, get along and relate to others, learn how to handle positive and negative emotions, learn how to comfort themselves and others, learn how to share, how to listen, and how to compromise. I respect each child's need for love, security, and acceptance, which by nurturing, will lead to a healthy, happy future. I look forward to knowing and loving your child! |
