About Melanie

I am committed to keeping children happy, healthy, and safe. I make sure the environment reflects one that is beneficial for the child's overall well being and learning, while still having fun and staying engaged. Since children learn through play, I love to encourage children's natural curiosities and discoveries through child-led play and activities, limiting the use of screen time. I allow children to get messy and support them through mistakes, as my focus is on creating foundational skills to build long-term benefits, such as developing emotional intelligence, resilience, confidence, independence, a love of learning, etc. My expertise is working with toddlers, although I have experience with children ages 3 weeks to 14 years, with up to 6 children at a time. I would love to connect with your family to see if we would be a good fit!
