About Me
Hi parents, I’m the owner and main caregiver, and I have 11 years of child care experience. I hold a Child Development Associates' Degree and CPR & First-aid certifications. If needed, I can administer over-the-counter and prescription medication since I’m also M.A.T trained. I decided to work in the child care and early childhood education industry because I grew up around many kids myself and have children of my own, and I also enjoy interacting with them. At my daycare, I treat all kids as if they were my own and give them plenty of individual attention (I can only take a maximum of 4 children).
Curriculum
I follow the Play-based learning principles that allow children to learn through play and fun activities. In my child care home, they always enjoy our arts & crafts, story and circle time, music, and outdoor activities. For infants, my focus is to help them meet milestones with tummy time, crawling, speaking, and motor skills. I read books and sing songs for younger children that help them identify colors and different parts of the body. I believe that kids learn really fast at a young age, so I want to teach them as much as possible. I always keep my lesson plans up to date and creative. I teach the kids the alphabet, colors, and how to share and interact with one another. If the weather is nice, we play outside and go for a walk to learn more about nature. In addition to English, I speak Urdu and upon request, I can teach your child this foreign language (though my daycare is not a bilingual program). I have a large play kitchen, books, activity sets, and organized labeled bins with hand toys, blocks, and puzzles. My walls are decorated with cute stickers, posters, and educational charts.
Program
Lake Pleasant Little Playhouse is open all throughout the year from 6:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I offer full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 4 weeks and 5 years old. All kids attending full-time are provided with peanut and tree-nut free lunch and snacks, which are already both included in the tuition.
Safety
My COVID-19 safety precautions include wiping down surfaces thoroughly and regularly with sanitizing wipes, as well as taking temperatures every morning for parents and children. Parents have to call before picking up and are not allowed inside the child care space. Thanks for visiting my profile :) Please contact us through CareLuLu to schedule a visit, I would love to meet your family in person.

My son has been at this daycare since mid-August when we unexpectedly had to change from our previous center. She has been great with him, he gets so excited to see her when I drop him off in the morning. He has become a better napper and eater since starting there. And I can tell the activities he does there nurture his development. This is my first child so was naturally nervous about starting daycare at all, and then having to change... more

From the moment we met this caregiver, we felt comfortable leaving our first child in her care. We were so nervous to leave our child with anyone we didn’t know, but she was just so knowledgeable and caring, and put our fears at ease. Jordan always looks so excited when he sees her in the morning and is so happy in the afternoons when we come for pickup. He has learned so many things at Daycare. We could not be any happier with the care he gets... more
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m glad he’s learning things and showing it at home!

This provider was very nice and reliable. She made the transition into a new daycare much easier for my daughter and was also understanding of our needs. We would have stayed longer but my family and I are relocating, however we really enjoyed our time with this provider.

It is a true pleasure to share our wonderful experience with this provider. This provider is a top-notch professional and she provided excellent childcare for our son for two and a half years (2013 until 2015). When we first met this provider, our 5-month-old son was attending one of the most highly regarded childcare facilities in the region. However, we were not satisfied with the quality of care and attention he was getting. The contrast with... more

This provider's home daycare is always clean, welcoming, and full of toys, books, and activities. We felt very comfortable the first day we visited her. I simply cannot say enough about what she has meant to our family. She provided the best care services out of her own home with flexible hours that catered to our working hours. Due to both my husband and I working different hours, she never hesitated to care for our daughter over time when we... more

Thank You so much Lee Lor I'm glad both you and your family are comfortable and I appreciate your kind words.

This was an incredible daycare for our son Adrian. We were with this caregiver for over three years until he was ready for preschool. Under her love and care, he thrived and learned so much. This provider treated him as though he were one of her own, and we looked at this provider as an extended member of our family. The care, support and love she provided were unparalleled. We will always be eternally grateful to this provider for the role she... more
