I've been working as a child care provider since 1997. Before becoming a child care provider, I was a teachers assistant for many years. When I moved to U.S. I started taking English courses and Early Childhood classes so that I could work with children. I took all the necessary classes to become a child care provider because I wanted to have full knowledge about being a provider. Even now I continue to learn and improve myself as a provider, and I recently became NAFCC accredited. I absolutely love children. I am patient and nurturing and I provide a safe, comfortable and stimulating environment for children to grow and thrive in. I am a strong believer in education, at my daycare we do not watch TV. We sing, dance, use musical instruments, and learn thinking skills and motor skills. Everyday we work on reading and writing and my program is highly focused on learning, however, I also like to give the children the opportunity to make their own choices with our activities. I don't tell my kids what to do, I let them decide, i give them choices and support their choices for learning. Children take turns acting as my helper, and this gives them leadership skills and helps teach them about responsibilities. I serve breakfast and lunch and snacks twice a day.
I always keep the parents informed, and tell them what we are working on so parents can do same thing at home. Parents like this because it keeps them engaged and its very helpful for the child to learn the same things at home as they do at my daycare!
