Sonya’s Family Daycare provides a loving, supportive and educational environment for infants, preschool, school-age children and their families. My goal in childcare has always been to foster the whole child; emotional, physical, mental, social and spiritual needs. Nurturing these precious needs are met in a stimulating and safe environment conducive to learning.

Sonya’s Family Daycare has selected the Teaching Strategies – The Creative Curriculum to assist with meeting the educational needs of child from ages 0 – 6 years of age. The selected program is a State recognized program to support early childhood literacy. This curriculum is developed to include stories, math, science, free play, shared and conversation time, creative art activities arts/crafts, food preparation and science and nature activities. Each child is exposed to age-appropriate activities to learn phonological awareness/reading readiness, letters, colors, numbers and social interaction. To accompany the educational activities, I provide a variety of learning areas which include: art, music, housekeeping, science/nature, math/manipulative and reading. The children have access to various learning tools such as a computer, puzzles, outdoor nature trails, age-appropriate games, playground, books, etc. As well as, weekly visits to the local library to become acclimated to being in other learning environments other than daycare.
