Values

My approach to child care.

Play based learning

I follow the Reggio Emilia approach which supports children’s development by providing open-ended materials and toys that help children learn while they have fun exploring. I include music time in the schedule where I play the piano and invite the children to get musical instruments and sing along with me. I value happiness, equity, empathy, emotional regulation and love so I help children learn those values while they interact with their peers.

Love the outdoors.

We spend at least two hours per day, morning and afternoon, outside of the house. The yard is equipped with climbing structures, swings, slides, push cars, bikes, balls, a play house with a play kitchen, where children can develop their motor skills and engage in dramatic play.

Focus on happiness

I focus on safety, happiness, independence and emotional regulation among with learning of discipline.

Love for kids

I treat the children like my own because I believe every child needs to be loved, accepted and welcomed with their unique personality.
