Private Home daycare provider for 9 years and childminder for 13 years. Mom to 3 children and to a pug and kitten. My program is outdoor based and we attend drop in programs daily during the cold days. I teach through socialization, independence, exploration and play and run my daycare with a relaxed approach rather then a strick routine. I believe children of all ages should be exposed to the outdoors and learn threw nature and exploring.
