ABOUT ME
Welcome to my Home Daycare page. Im an active mom of this little lady and have made the decision to open our home to our community for working parents looking for a nurturing and wholesome atmosphere for their little ones. I hope to give peace of mind to our parents & Guardians by providing the children in my care the benefit of a warm caregiver in a structured environment.
Our home is located in south St Vital/ River Park South and backs onto the lovely South St Vital Trail. A great place for adventures year round, within walking distance to HS Paul Elementary School, Dakota Community Center and the Bois-des-Esprit Forest/Park.
We are also right by the Louis Riel Library! A great place for me to introduce your little one to the love of learning and Magic of Reading. The library offers great programs for us to enroll in such as Preschool story time and Baby Rhyme time where children can interact with our community and their peers.
Im very passionate about giving kids the tools they need to foster independence in a respectful nurturing way and strongly believe children benefit greatly from meaningful play outdoors, healthy home made meals and periods of structured learning interactions!
Safety
Your childs safety is my priority and with that in mind my home is set up with a large bright child proof day room full of toys and child size tables for meals and crafting. We also have a peaceful child proof napping room with many lovely books and acess to soft music to help ease the transition between activity and rest periods. Older children who do not nap will get this time to do a quiet craft or enjoy a child friendly program like Sesame Street or Daniel Tiger.
Healthy Life
Early childhood is and important time for kids to establish healthy habits and a love of the outdoors. Learning to balance and jumping in puddles are just as important as a variety of healthy foods. At Lil'Critters I will provide 2 healthy snacks and a well balanced lunch.
