Description:
Happy Tots Daycare is primarily located in the main floor of my ranch home.
We have a capacity of 10 children, not including my own four. We have a large play
area with various interest centers (housekeeping, blocks and building, reading),
an area for art and unstructured learning activities, and a bathroom for the children's use.
The playground consists of a large fenced area with a variety of large muscle apparatus
and a sand play area. Meals and snacks are served in the dining area. This is my family's
home as well as a childcare. Children are not allowed in the bedrooms, without a teacher
being with them. This is to preserve my family's privacy. I appreciate your respect in this matter.
You may bring your child to the front door and ring the doorbell, which rings in the childcare area,
in the playroom.
Qualifications:

Philosophy
The major goal of the childcare program is to support the growth and development of young children.
Each child is given the opportunity to learn in a secure and loving environment.
Each child is treated as an individual with specific needs and interests.
Comparisons with others are avoided. The child is encouraged to attempt projects,
but the results need not be perfect. Whatever children accomplish on their own is
worthy of recognition. Each child is given responsibility for completing projects on his/her own.
Each child is encouraged to respect the rights of others. Physical violence is discouraged.
Children are instructed and encouraged to use words to solve problems. Children learn to be
responsible for their own actions.
Christianity is emphasized in the Happy Tots Daycare program. There are occasional
Bible-themed activities..
