We are a Family Day Care located in beautiful West Irondeqouit, Rochester, New York.
I am within walking distance to the zoo, Southlawn and Rogers schools, wegmans plaza, the library and more!!
We have a FLEXIBLE daily schedule that we keep which includes meals, activities, projects, story time, outdoor play, lots of free play to learn and grow!!! In this hectic world we live in, we sometimes forget that children need bunches of time to dream and explore... I also teach the kids about manners and getting along with others.. Learning to explore their own interests and abilities they have as INDIVIDUALS, I don't like to see the children bring home carbon copy projects, so expect their art work to show their individual styles and personalities......I believe that children need to able to have the kind of childhood we has when we were kids, and if they are allowed to explore their own interests.... they will develop of loving of learning and be ready for school when they start!!

MY RESIGNATION...........
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an
ADULT. I have decided I would like to accept the
responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to
McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a
sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&M's are better than
money because you can eat them. I want to drink kool-aid,
eat lemonheads and red hots with my friends. I don't want
to change clothes because I got a little dirty and my
friends didn't care cause they were even dirtier than me.
I want to enjoy everyday like its summer vacation.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all
you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and TV show
theme songs, but that didn't bother you, because you
didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All
you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully
unaware of all the things that should make you worried or
upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is
honest and good. I want to believe that anything is
possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life
and be overly excited by the little things again, like a new
hot wheel car every Saturday.
I want to live simple again. I
don't want my day to consist of computer crashes,
mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive
more illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in
the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice,
peace, dreams, the imagination and mankind. I want to
"dream of Jeannie", and "bewitched". I want to go to
"fantasy island" and take a trip on "the love boat".
I want to be in the roller derby and actually believe the
three stooges are real.
So...here's my checkbook and my
car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements, my
pager, my cellphone, my palm pilot, my fax machine
and my dvd player and last but not least my mortgage
book. I am officially resigning from adulthood.......
