Elicia's Childcare

Elicia’s Childcare offers a safe, nurturing learning environment where your child will get the attention, care, and love that he/she deserves. I have been working with children for 10 years and wouldn’t have it any other way. I started out babysitting four to five days a week when I was a teenager. As I got older I wanted to work with children even more, and went on to study Early Childhood Education at Eastern Gateway Community College. There I earned my Associates degree for Pre-k through 4th grade.
I have put in at least 110 field hours while attending EGCC. Also, I am certified in Adult, Infant, and child CPR and First Aid. I love children, and provide a more personalized child care service out of my home. I work hard to make sure that I provide a clean and safe environment. My home is fully child proof, and is a fun and positive environment.
I will use my knowledge to offer stimulating, developmental activities when your child is ready for them. They include music, movement and outdoor play. In addition I will provide practical life and sensory activities, arts and crafts, pre-reading and pre-math skills. I also have quite story and sharing times, manipulatives and dramatic play. I strive to meet your child’s physical, intellectual, social, and emotional needs. I feel that children learn the best in a natural and more personal learning environment. Your child will learn important values such as sharing, patience, communication, responsibility, and teamwork. They will also learn some basics of education such as recognizing the alphabet, colors, numbers, reading, writing, shapes and name. Also, how to cut with scissors, color, play with dough, and paint.
