ÃƒËœ I will provide your child with their own basket to keep their personal belongings in. Each weekend I will wash their blankets, towels, and/or swimsuit.

ÃƒËœ In the event of a family doctor appointment etc. I will have a substitute come in and watch the children or take them with me. Except for emergencies I will let you know when these times will be.

ÃƒËœ I will send newsletters concerning preschool, events, happenings and other activities during the months of September through May. And occasional newsletters home during the summer months.

ÃƒËœ I will love, hug and care for your child and provide a loving home away from home. This is not just a business to drop your children off at. My daycare families are a part of my extended family. Children need hugs, someone that will listen, guidance, someone to play with, discipline and an accepting, loving environment. My daycare children are not just kids that come here while their parent’s work. They are part of our family.
