Welcome to Sweet Pea Daycare!
My name is Jen and I am a home daycare provider. I am also mom to two wonderful kids. Caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have formally worked in childcare for over 9 years. I have worked as a private nanny and a head preschool teacher as well as running my own home daycare. I have excellent references available from both past and present clients.
Sweet Pea Daycare offers a loving and caring environment just like home. We spend our days playing, learning, and exploring. We offer age appropriate toys and activities to allow your child to explore their creative side. We have weekly themes and daily lessons to help your child discover their love of learning. We offer both indoor and outdoor playtime each day, arts and crafts, daily story time, and music appreciation in a smoke free home environment.
Safety and Cleanliness
We value cleanliness and safety at Sweet Pea Daycare. I take pride in the condition and cleanliness of the child care areas.
Sweet Pea Daycare is a smoke free environment. Smoking is not permitted in my home or on the property.
Sweet Pea Daycare is an animal friendly place. We have a Labrador Retriever who lives here. He is kept in a different area of the home when the children are here, but after hours he has free roam of the house. If your child has allergies, please let me know.
The childcare areas and toys are cleaned and sanitized on a daily basis. I sweep and mop the floors everyday and do not allow shoes on the area rugs since this is where the children play and crawl. I use child friendly, natural cleaners during childcare hours. All toys are cleaned and/or disinfected on a daily basis to prevent the spread of germs and hand washing/sanitizing is mandatory for all children and myself throughout the day.
The childcare areas are baby and child proofed. We practice safety drills at least once per month and check the batteries in the fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors at least once per month. All doors are locked when we are inside to prevent anyone entering without my knowledge and to prevent little ones from running outside unattended.
I maintain an open door policy for parents during child care hours. All parents are welcome to drop by or call at anytime during child care hours.
No child will be released to anyone other than a parent without written permission. ID is required for anyone other than parents who are picking up a child from daycare. This policy is not meant to make pick up difficult, but to ensure the safety and security of your child and the other children in the daycare.
Sweet Pea Daycare maintains a strict sickness policy. Please email me and I will send you a copy of this policy.
