I have been a stay at home dad for 8+ years. I have 5 years+ of experience in the child care industry and I exceed the state requirements and qualifications.
I participate in ongoing training in the areas of child growth and development, healthy and safe environments, developmentally appropriate practices, guidance, family relationships, cultural and individual diversity, and professionalism. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I have my Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) certification as well.
I look to engage children with knowledge and fun while encouraging their interests. Through our 1000+ children's books library, puppets, STEM toys, and a wide variety of age appropriate toys I look to make learning fun and entertaining. I'll be silly all day if it means the children are enriched by it. I have been a children's entertainer for more than 20 years in my other business Amazingpete.com.
I have 8+ years of experience as a mom to a wonderful son and daughter and 5+ years participating in childcare professionally. I work closely with Peter on all aspects of the daycare but primarily assist with behind the scenes tasks. I work full time for Cornell but step in as a second pair of hands at the end of the day and substitute for Peter if he needs to take a day off.
I love reading and singing and some of my favorite things to do with the kids are reading out loud and making up silly songs together.
Like Peter, I also complete annual training hours in the areas of child growth and development, healthy and safe environments, developmentally appropriate practices, guidance, family relationships, cultural and individual diversity, and professionalism.
We hope you'll be excited by our space and look forward to having you join our small community.
