A Home Away From Home

The endearing smiles of a thriving baby and the joyful prance of a two-year-old are heartwarming, but the daily care of an infant or toddler is a demanding task that necessitates expertise and dedication.

Why Choose In-home Childcare?

Family child care is the prevalent choice for infant and toddler care, as well as for preschoolers and young children. The intimate setting of family child care homes typically results in reduced noise, lower stress levels, and less regimentation for the children. Furthermore, the smaller group size creates a more sheltered environment, which is especially beneficial for babies and young children who may be prone to catching colds and other infectious diseases.

A Good Caregiver

Below is a list of qualities that, in our view, epitomize an exceptional caregiver:
  1. Loving and Responsive: A caregiver who embraces affection, comforting with hugs, rocking, and cuddling, establishing meaningful eye contact, and deriving joy from witnessing children’s burgeoning skills and interests.
  2. Sociable and Engaged: One who is naturally outgoing and genuinely interested in the children they care for.
  3. Understanding and Supportive: A caregiver who comprehends and celebrates children’s developmental milestones and actively encourages their growth.
  4. Expansive: Someone who continuously seeks to enhance each child’s experiences, fostering learning and exploration.
  5. Respectful of Individuality: A caregiver who respects and values each child’s uniqueness, allowing them to flourish as individuals.
  6. Attuned to Personal Rhythms: Recognizing and harmonizing with each child’s distinctive rhythms, personal style, strengths, and limitations.
