Creativity and Caregiving
My creativity shows in my passion for caregiving.
I believe in a well-rounded education for all students through play-based learning with a wide range of curriculum lessons and enrichment programs that are designed to meet the individuals needs academically, emotionally, mentally and physically.
Everyday is a new experience and ordinary items can become an instant learning resource.
For example, look at our “RECYCLED FASHION SHOW.”
“Beyond her responsible and dependable nature, Allison possesses a personality that is pleasant, approachable and reassuring.
She establishes strong relationships with children, parents and staff members.”
– Ashley Bryant Stough (University Childcare Center: Assistant Director)
I encourage children to make their own choices, read everyday, solve problems and explore their passions and interests independently through fun, hands-on activities. Experiential learning helps children develop perseverance and social-emotional intelligence, making them school-ready, career-ready and life-ready.
Caregiving involves routine self-help, personal hygiene, changing, bathing, grooming, assisting with meals, transportation, exercise, helping with medical procedures and therapy.
Being active, making good choices and trying new experiences leads to healthy habits!
“Our children are so excited to be with her! She provides unique and fun lessons for them each day. We are impressed with the creative activities that Allison has planned.” – Jason S (Parent Reference)
Reading is ESSENTIAL!
I encourage daily reading and studies show that reading makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. Whether listening to a story, sharing a book together or taking turns reading, literacy is important for development. Reading has many positive effects, including:
Cognitive Mental Stimulation and Brain Exercising
Vocabulary and Knowledge Expansion
