ABOUT US




DESCRIPTION OF MY DAY CARE

Edith's Home Care is a smoke free and pet free environment. We welcome all age children (6 weeks to 12 years). My staff and I are dedicated to children. Our goals are to help each child build a confidence in their own unique abilities, no matter how old they are.

We work hard to meet the needs of each child on an individual basis. We inspire children to laugh and have fun while they learn. We put forth every effort to offer children our love and laughter on a daily basis.

We encourage children to use their imagination and creativity to prepare them for success throughout their educational journey.

Edith's Home Care also provides a nutritious breakfast, lunch and two snacks per day, along with a wonderful preschool and pre-kindergarten curriculum. We have a large fenced in playground area and lots of age appropriate toys.

We transport to and from Christa McAuliffe Elementary School. We also offer a homework help program for our School-agers after school each day.

We also take all children on fun as well as educational field trips. We strive to build a wonderful foundation for all children, by offering a fun, safe, nurturing, loving environment and an educational atmosphere.

CURRICULUM

Edith's Home Care offers a terrific preschool and pre-kindergarten curriculum. We offer each child the opportunity to develop their minds through daily learning activities. Such as reading, music and movement, arts and crafts, food crafts and circle-time.

Our preschoolers and pre-kindergerteners are registered in a wonderful reading program. Other daily activities the children have the opportunity to learn are: shapes, colors, numbers, letters, the four seasons, manners, their five senses, health and nutrition, personal hygiene and to write their name.

Our curriculum helps the children develop their fine and gross motor skills. Our schedule is structured but flexible enough to allow us to meet the needs of each child. We fully understand that children learn through imagination and fun.
