I believe children should have fun! After all, even the experts agree that children learn the most through play.  These carefree years are so short, and soon the children will be exposed to a much more structured form of learning.  As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy place for children where they can develop as individuals.  My emphasis is place on fostering the growth of the WHOLE child by building self-esteem and self-confidence in a fun and stimulating environment.  Promoting positive essential life skills in a nurturing manner is what Le Petit Home Day Care is all about.  This will happen through:

INTERACTION/SOCIAL:making friends, playing, sharing

EDUCATIONAL/CREATIVE:stories, songs, arts and crafts

IMAGINATIVE/MANIPULATIVE:dramatic play, puzzles, blocks

CHARACTER BUILDING:patience, assertiveness

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES:large motor development, sports, games

COMMUNICATION/BEHAVIOUR:conflict resolution, problem solving

FREE CHOICE TIME:time to rest, relax and choose books and puppets

INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION:low child/provider ratio (lots of TLC!)

LIFE SKILLS:science, cooking, sensory

As a professional, my priority with your children is to offer "quality" child care, so you as parents, will feel comfortable and secure by making your decision and with having your children in my care.
