Footprints Family Childcare

I try to set a pretty structured, yet flexible schedule for the kids.  I believe that kids need consistency, but they also need some flexibility.  My schedule is designed to incorporate the children's physical, emotional, and intellectual needs.  One my goals is to make sure that the kids have fun!  One of the things I love about my job is the fact that there is never a dull moment.  Kids are funny, goofy, and also very creative!  My idea is to cultivate their unique talents and personalities, and incorporate them in our daily schedule.  Our schedule also includes trip to the nearby park.  On some occassions, (with the parents' permission) I like to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese or Bowling as a reward for being so good.  We also attend the weekly Story Time at Barnes and Nobles.
