Hi and Welcome to A Home Away From Home Family Daycare. We have a laid-back atmosphere and the children enjoy our home as if it were theirs. Welcome to A Home Away from Home Family Daycare. I decided to open a daycare home after searching for baby sitters myself and discovered that it was hard finding care for my daughter. "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 September 2002, I was open for business. I immediately joined the NevAEYC. The Nevada Association for the Education of Young Children. (they also serve as an organization that helps locate child care for families). I am always continuing my education by attending workshops and seminars intended for childcare providers. These include topics on nutrition, food safety, health, curriculums, as well as business related topics. 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. We are re inspected every year, 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 also have a substitute in case of an emergency. However, I have two substitutes. One of my substitutes is my mother-in-law, Carol (aka Grandma), and the other is my Husband, Dan. 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.
