Admissions

My current rates* are as follows:

$150/week - infants (6 weeks - 18 months)

$135/week - toddlers (19 months - 5 years)

$50/day - drop-in care

*rates are subject to change. No multi-child discount available. Rates are based on 9 hours of care provided per day; I only offer contracted hours. I no longer provide care for school-aged children.

For paperwork I require a signed contract by both parents/guardians, enrollment fee, an emergency medical authorization form, an up to date health assessment from the child's medical provider, a copy of all up to date immunizations (I do not accept delayed schedules or vaccine exemptions), a medication authorization form (including use of diaper cream, sunscreen, bug spray, etc.), and a signed photo release form. All paperwork will be provided via email or you can find these documents on my website. If you would like a printed copy of the paperwork, I will give that to you once I receive the enrollment fee. I require a non-refundable retainer fee equal to 3 weeks of tuition as well as the enrollment fee prior to starting care.

For supplies I require an extra set of weather appropriate clothing, diapers or pull-ups, a bottle or sippy cup to leave at daycare, a blanket to leave at daycare, pacifiers should your child need one, and any medical supplies listed on the medical authorization form (diaper cream, sunscreen, bug spray, Tylenol, etc.).

Unfortunately, no. Once I am closed I spend time with my family, run errands, and take care of all of the animals. I love spending time with everyone but please be mindful that my work hours are 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday - Friday. Early arrival and late pick-up are subject to hefty late fees and ultimately termination of services if it becomes a habit.

At this time, I am only offering full-time care when I have positions open. If I have the availability for part-time care I will contact families on my wait list once that position opens.

I am entirely play-based! I do not offer any traditional schooling or curriculum based learning. We learn through play and work on learning life skills. Examples of what are taught includes but is not limited to: sharing, empathy for our peers, taking turns, waiting in line, cleaning up after ourselves, how to open snacks and refill cups, how to say our full names, etc. We do work on numbers/colors/shapes but those are incorporated more organically into our play.
