Child Care Provider / Early Childhood Educator Supply Position
Home Comforts Childcare is a Family Age Grouping facility caring for children ages 0 - 4 years of age.
Our Vision
We believe that children are competent capable members of our community. We believe in engaging children in the community by giving them the opportunity to be productive members and that we learn through our experiences with nature and the environment around us. By making use of resources available in our community, we can provide opportunities for children and families to build a stronger relationship and connection with the community. Through walking field trips throughout our town, children will learn social skills, make community connections, and gain an appreciation for the environment in which they live. Our home-like environment will provide a safe and inviting space for children to express themselves through creative experiences, reflective learning, and group activities. Our staff will focus on building relationships with each child and their family. This will encourage children to learn social skills, self-regulation, meet developmental milestones and will give them a solid foundation for the future. It is our goal to facilitate a strong connection between families, the children and their community that will last beyond their childcare experience.
