Etta's Home Daycare
Ms. Etta’s House
Licensed Family Child Care
Thank-You for your interest in my child care program!
I believe that all children are special and unique. It is my goal to provide children with a safe environment that nurtures self-esteem and security. I provide a preschool program that promotes learning through hands on play and discovery. I encourage parents to discuss expectations they have and/or want for their child and myself. I am always open to any feedback about myself as a provider. It is important that parents and providers communicate together and establish a good relationship, which is in everyone's best interest... especially the child’s.
About myself:
I have lived in the Fort Bragg area since 1998. My husband, Tony and I have three children: Tawnya, Trisha, and Tyler.
We have been a military family for about 15 years. I love being a child care provider and working with children I am a member of USDA food program. I have and continue to attend classes and seminars that provide specialized training for child care providers. I am CPR certified and have First-Aid training.
I am certified through FCC
I am allowed to have 6 children:
Of those 6 I can only have 2 under 2 and 3 under 3. *My own child of 3 is included in that count.
My child care program is semi-structured with individual activities, group activities, supervised free time, and supervised outdoor play.
Meals & Snacks:
Nutritionally balanced meals and snacks will be served. The children are offered the food and encouraged but not forced to eat. I participate in the USDA Program and weekly menus are available for review. Special meals will only be prepared for children with documented medical or religious exemption.

Programs include: 1. Small muscle: coloring, puzzles, playdough, and a variety of blocks and other activities. 2. Large muscle: crawling, marching, running, jumping, dancing stretching, exercising, and sports participation such as; bowling, softball, and kickball.
3. Creative play; (stimulate child’s imagination, and language skills) play areas that may include; kitchen, store, doctors office, post office, dress up, and puppets.
4. Arts & Crafts: projects emphasize creativity/technique and most importantly '' trying'' rather than final outcome.
5. Music: daily use of songs, rhymes, poems, piano or recorded music.
Opportunities to experiment with different musical instruments.
6. Science: activities that encourage investigations, observing, discovering and problem solving.
Example: cooking, growing a plant, bug hunts, etc.
7. Math: counting is a part of every day. Other activities involving concepts such as volume, size, shape, and measurements8. Language Arts: Story Time will occur daily. Children will be encouraged to participate in group conversations, social conversations, story telling, puppet play and role-play. Speaking in full sentences, talking turns, expressing oneself fluently and being an attentive listener will be encouraged.
9. Outdoor Play: We will go outside daily, weather permitting. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately. Activities for outdoors will often be planned that develop large muscle coordination. On days when we can not get outside we will have some activities planned such as dancing, or our exercise video.
10. Responsibilities: Each child will be responsible to perform daily tasks such as clearing their own lunch and snack dishes, and hanging up coats.. No child will be "punished" for not performing a certain task but rather rewarded for attempting and/or carrying out the task.
This will help build self esteem and independence
