I believe my goal for quality child care is to provide your child with a
safe, comfortable, clean, home-like environment that your child can
grow in socially and intellectually. The children in our care will receive
love, guidance, and understanding in a nurturing environment. Children
learn best in a supportive atmosphere where self-esteem and respect is
given. On a daily basis your child will learn patience, responsibility, and
compassion. They will also express imagination as well as
self-expression. We believe that through play, language, creative art, and
most importantly fun, a child can express themselves which will lead
them into a bright future.
As a Professional Provider, I feel that raising your child is a partnership.
A good relationship between parents and provider will be enriching and
rewarding for the growth and development of your child. In order to
provide your child with the best possible care, the parents and the
provider are encouraged to keep open lines of communication. Giving
tender loving care to children of all ages is the focus of my child care
service as well as making a safe environment where your child can learn,
play and have fun. It is only through parent and provider cooperation
that the goal of a quality, nurturing child care can be achieved.

We have a laid-back atmosphere and the children enjoy our home as if it
were theirs.
Welcome to 1-2-3 Family Day Care. I decided to open a daycare home
after going through four baby sitters in a year and discovered that it was
hard finding care for my Son. "Baby sitters" aren't daycare providers.
They are not very reliable or trained. I wanted to be someone parents
could count on being there when they needed quality care for their
children. In March 1996, I was open for business.
Childcare Providers and everyone living in the home have to go through
rigorous criminal background checks, fingerprinting, fire inspections, and
health department inspections before receiving their licenses. Everyone
living in the home must also have a physical. We are re licensed every
two years. This requires a new application and a visit from a licensing
specialist. We also have off year surprise visits from a licensing specialist.
Fire inspections are done yearly. We must have a first aid kit that is kept
well stocked. We must also have a substitute in case of an emergency.
However, I have two substitutes. One of my substitutes is my best friend
Melody Beamon),and my husband.
I keep in touch with many of my past daycare children and I have enjoyed
watching them grow into young adults. I hope that your stay with us is an
educational and uplifting experience
