It is my greatest hope that Little Helpers Child Care will always be a place where love and learning go hand in hand. I actively promote gardening, healthy eating, and natural science. The children and I plan, plant, tend, and harvest fresh produce in our community organic garden. We enjoy nature walks and participate in the city park and recreation puppet wagon performances. Each child's birthday is celebrated. The children and I participate in daily Circle Time reading, alphabet, colors, shapes, seasons, songs, and more. Our curriculum also includes music and movement, dramatic and cooperative play, cooking activities, and outdoor gross motor activities. We have fun learning throughout our day!

Listed skills include Child Development, Child Safety Compliance, Early Childhood Education, Curriculum Development, and 3 others.

  Little Helpers Child Care

  2004 - Present - Woodbury, Mn

  At Little Helpers Child Care, I help children learn and develop by partnering with parents to meet the needs of the whole child: developmental, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. A high staff-to-child ratio allows for individualized personal care. A mixed age group allows for siblings to stay together and creates long-term attachments with care-giver and peers. Each child's gifts, talents, temperaments, challenges, and abilities are recognized in a supported environment to help them reach their full potential. Specific curriculum includes:- The Creative Curriculum for Family Child Care- Learning About Nutrition through Activities (LANA) Preschool Program - Project Wild (Wildlife Education for Young Children)- The Kindness Curriculum (Introducing Children to Loving Values)- Music Play (The Early Childhood Music Curriculum)
