Circle Of Friends Daycare & Early Learning

Hi my name is Shauna Baldwin and I am the mother of two children. When I became a mother, I became passionate about childcare. When it was time for me to go back to work, I was very anxious about where my son would go. During that year, I came to understand that all parents must feel scared and apprehensive about sending their precious little ones to daycare and I realized that I could help alleviate those feelings. That's when I decided that I would open a home daycare where parents would feel happy, relaxed and connected to their child’s day. I think a daycare should feel like family, like a home away from home, full of fun, joy and structure. I will provide a loving and nurturing environment for children to feel safe and secure. I believe when a child feels safe they will explore their surroundings naturally which encourages wonder and curiosity. I will ensure that each child feels respected, special and important every day. I started taking care of children when I was 12 years old, I babysat regularly and watched my four younger siblings and now my own two children. This year I have been lucky to have the opportunity to volunteer at my son’s nursery school. I love children and love watching them change and grow. I am most passionate about infants and pre-schoolers because there are so many opportunities for discovery and learning. Children are like a sponge soaking in the world around them. I have been actively planning the summer 2015 launch of Circle Of Friends Daycare. I've taken several courses on safety, child development, positive discipline and child nutrition. I've created an evolving curriculum of weekly themes and age appropriate activities for 1-5 year olds that will support their emotional, social & physical development while also preparing them intellectually (Shapes Colors ABC's 123's) and with independence skills (Hygiene, Potty, Getting dressed) for Kindergarten. Please contact me for a complete Childcare Information Package and see if Circle of Friends can meet your families CHILD CARE needs.
