Jennifer, gardienne d’enfant - T3S Calgary

Hello, my name is Jenn and I am opening a private dayhome in the community of Shawnessy in December.

To introduce myself, I am a mom to a 6-year-old boy and a wife to a wonderful husband. I am also a highly trained, certified Child Development Supervisor with 12 years of experience in the child care field (with my last 3.5 years teaching preschool children). I have extensive knowledge of, and follow, Alberta Health and Safety Protocols as well as Alberta Child Care Licensing Standards. I also have numerous references from parents, up-to-date first aid / CPR certifications, food handling certifications, a police clearance check and I will provide receipts for income tax purposes.

In my dayhome, I ensure that your child will be provided with the following:
- 2 homemade meals per day
- 2 snacks per day
- lots of room for explorations
- high quality care that emphasizes respect and independence and encourages all areas of your child's development
- a well balanced approach to learning where emergent learning and "play" is balanced with scheduled / planned activities
- a variety of activities that will support your child's needs and interests
- outdoor play at least twice per day (weather permitting)

I believe that when I am interested and excited for something, it shows and my excitement or interests encourage children to explore, create and engage in different experiences. And this is why I also believe in providing a balanced curriculum where children have the option to participate in scheduled or planned activities as well as to play.
I believe that Albert Einstein said it the best when he stated "Play is the highest form of research".

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and the care that I will be providing. If you would like to learn more, please contact me as I would love to meet with you.

Jenn
