About Me
I am a stay-at-home mother of two children. Abby 3 and Logan 1 have taught me invaluable lessons that I believe have helped develop my ability to care for children. I have an Early Childhood Education Diploma from Mount Royal College in Calgary AB, and am only a couple classes shy of completing my Child and Youth Care degree at University of Victoria. I have decided to focus my time on staying at home with my children for now. I have worked in Preschools as a teacher and substitute teacher, infant and toddler programs, before and after school care, and have worked with the Military Family Resources center developing parent discussion groups, drop in play groups, and child development programs. I am excited to start this new adventure working with you and your children!
Mission Statement
My program strives to meet every aspect of your child’s development. I believe that children deserve a safe, nurturing, and positive space to learn. Playful Learning childcare will provide a child-centered, safe, caring and nurturing environment that encourages, stimulates and fosters a child’s self-esteem, natural curiosity, imagination, and growth. I promise to provide families with daily written and verbal communication about there child’s day. I will make every effort to provide additional support and resources to families. I promise to provide your child with collaborative learning through community resources, literature, programming, activities, and experiences.
Philosophy
A child’s work is play! Playful Learning childcare is a play based family childcare home in which children will learn through play. Play experiences will be taught in the form of imaginative play, daily outdoor explorations, arts and crafts, and story time. My belief is that each child should be given a safe, comfortable, and diverse environment to explore and learn. Each child is unique and will be treated as an individual while given opportunities to add their own opinions, likes, and dislikes to the daily routines. Children in my care will be given a flexible environment to learn and grow with some guidance and discipline conducted in a positive atmosphere of learning and development.
