At TLC I strive to give the best possible care to your child. I combine the advantages of a caring home setting and small class size with the standards and training of a professional child caregiver. You'll find that I offer so much more than many other at-home daycare services. Experience I have worked in the corporate daycare world as a lead teacher of the infant room at Sunrise Preschool in Phoenix, Arizona. As Lead Teacher I developed and used lesson plans for infants up to 1 year of age and assisted other teachers in toddler rooms and preschool rooms to develop their lesson plans. I am also the mother of three children ages 13 years, 11 years, and 5 yrs. My goal is to create a nurturing, family atmosphere for your child to grow in while at the same time providing structured, enriching learning experiences along with professional service. Awards I was honored to receive the Parent's Choice 2008 Family Home Provider of the Year , given by the Child Care Resource and Referral of Northeast Georgia, a Bright from the Start Georgia Department of Early Care and learning program.. Licensing TLC has been fully licensed with state of Georgia as a Bright From the Start State of Georgia Daycare Provider since 2003 - License # FR000012761. I also am fully First Aid/CPR qualified and I renew my certification every two years. I serve nutrionally sound meals and snacks using the USRDA Food Guidelines.
