Sweet Home.

 

 

The experienced teachers at Home Sweet Home Child Care are dedicated care providers with an array of education and credentials. Our teachers pride themselves on taking care of your child with warm, loving care. Our programs focus on the development of the whole child, enhancing your child’s growth educationally, emotionally, socially and physically through use of a strong curriculum program, play-based activity, and nurturing guidance from our qualified and caring staff.

Because of our specialized program and selective enrollment, our programs offer a low child -to-teacher ratio that allows us to provide appropriate levels of supervision and individualized attention for each child. We believe in a strong partnership between parents and caregivers are essential to a positive child care experience.

Our staff members are selected based on their caring attitude, education and experience. They must be of a caring and nurturing nature with the ability to work with children along with their families. Our teachers participate in regular educational training that enhances their individual strengths and effectiveness with the children. All of our staff are caring, dedicated teachers develop authentic relationship with the children and are sensitive to the need of each child. We are passionate about what we do and committed to providing the best care for your child.

Our approach is informed by years of experience, professional credentials, formal education, and a commitment to staying apprised of best practices for early childhood care.
