Hello! Thank you for looking into my home daycare.

What I am:

I am a State-Certified family child care provider in the South Portland area. I am proud to meet the State of Maine’s highest standards & regulations for child care. My home is open to children aged 3 months - 5 years old. My goal is to offer high-quality childcare in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. I am a fun, loving, professional, energetic, clean and organized child care. I take my job and responsibility seriously and I will make every effort to meet the needs of your child and provide you with peace of mind.

What I value:

• Keeping your child safe

• Open communication between parents and myself

• Healthy and nutritional daily meals and snacks

• Daily routines that meet the needs of the age group

• Outside play when weather permits

• Developing social skills

• Play based learning

Who I am:

• Mom to two wonderful boys and one basset hound mix

• Received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at Salem State College, MA

Fully licensed by the State of Maine

Infant/child first aid and CPR certified

What I offer:

• Two snacks (am & pm) and lunch (following the USDA food program)

• Fully fenced private back yard

Clean and well organized home (100% green, no harsh chemicals used)

• Smoke free home

I am a play based learning environment which helps children grow. Play is learning! What may look like simple fun to grow-ups, is actually what is needed to develop strong minds, bodies, and imagination in young people. We have inside and outside play/learning time as the weather permits. To add to the daily schedule we will learn manners, kindness, sharing, giving, caring, fairness, friendliness and patience.

Please email me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
