Child care with Registered Early Childhood Educator
Description
For ages twenty months to five years old, availability for the summer of 2023. Available up to four days per week.
Montessori and Reggio-Emilia inspired care that children are capable learners, and following their lead. This means play-based, and exploration learning, with some instruction to help practice school-based kindergarten skills. These include but are not limited to, Math and Literature, Social and emotional regulation, Belonging and Contributing, and Problem-solving skills. We can practice these skills easily by engaging in fun activities like cooking and baking, music, reading, risk-taking, observing the world around us, and more.
Believing that the environment is also a teacher, the home is set up for children to practice their autonomy by being capable to complete tasks on their own. Child-sized chairs, stools, snacks within reach, tools, and space to encourage their independence help children grow with pride and a sense of, "I can do it!"
We are a multilingual home therefore your child will be exposed to French, and some Spanish language and literature.
Our typical day begins with a gentle entrance, open snack and open play between 8:30-10am. A quick, one-on-one structured lesson is encouraged between 9:30-10:30. We play outside with elements of Forest Schooling in mind, weather-permitting. We play rain or shine, and have water play on warm and hot days. We have a park down the street that we walk to, and children practice their life skills such as safely crossing the road. Homemade lunch is prepared and served between 11:30-12pm. After lunch clean-up, quiet time begins and children choose books to be read to. Children can sleep or choose a quiet activity. Between 2-3pm children come back to play outdoors along with an open snack.
My documentation happens daily, taking pictures of children but never exposing identifying features to social media, unless given permission.
Caregivers are encouraged to stay as long as they'd like.
I am CPR certified and I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator. There will be a maximum of 4 children at any given time, therefore ratio is super low, allowing highly responsive care.
If you're interested in a tour, have any questions, and/or would like to sign your child up for high quality care, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
