Why Family Child Care?

"Family Child Care" is defined as child care that is provided in the caregiver's home. The very nature of in-home child care helps enhance the growth and development of children by providing them with quality care, learning opportunities, and individualized love and attention. This attention is oftentimes lacking in big centers where there can be upwards of 100+ children. I don't mean to take anything away from commercial daycare centers as I once owned one, and many of them are high quality, but none the less, here are a few important reasons for you to choose family child care:   

• Smaller class sizes (usually 6-8 students daily)

• Consistent caregiver/teacher (no high staff turnover)

• Home-like environment (helps children feel secure & comfortable)

• Individualized love & attention (self-explanatory)

• Less exposure to germs (especially important right now!)

• Mixed-age groups (studies show children learn better in mixed-age groups)

• Low child turnover (most students stay an average of 4 yrs.)
