Welcome to Nanny Judy's

Welcome to Nanny Judy's. A Place to Communicate with the Families in my Care.

I believe quality childcare makes a difference in the lives of children and their families. I hope to be a good support for working parents. Working in partnership with parents ensures that the needs of the family are met and promotes a sound foundation for children.

There are so many benefits to children being cared for at home. Home is warm and secure; the ideal setting for children to learn and grow. I strive to provide a nurturing and encouraging environment, with age appropriate activities and opportunities to explore. Each child will be cared for according to their individual needs. I believe children who are loved and cared for will in turn learn to love and care for others.

About Me

My photo
I am a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and Professional Ballet Teacher. Over the past 20 years I have taught preschool,daycare, managed my own LNR Family Daycare, and worked in private homes as a Nanny. My newest adventure is opening a Licensed In-Home Multi-Age Childcare. I have now opened Judy's Little Gems. Having a Licensed Childcare Facility in my home is so rewarding. Each day is brand new and exciting for both myself and the children! The word Nanny is very special to me. My British grandmother asked her grandchildren to call her Nanny. I hope to build great memories and relationships with children and families in my role as Nanny; just as my grandmother did.

Wild, Wonderful Winter


January has brought with it snow, wind, rain and everything in between!  Our winter theme has been fun.  We have been making Marble Paintings to brighten up our play room, and Fuzzy Snow People and Creative Mittens.  We've been talking about winter clothes and practicing our self-help skills.  I'm thinking that our kids are now experts on hand washing since we practice this one alot!! I think we are also pretty good at the virtue of enthusiasm!!  This month we have also been discussing penguins and polar bears.  I am looking forward to painting like a polar bear this week.....and making ice sculptures in the sensory table. :)  At circle time we have continued with our Alphabet Jive Program. This month we will have learned up to the letter Pp.  The kids really enjoy this activity, since we get to jump up and act out movements and ideas that go along with the letter.  I am really impressed at how many the kids remember now!  We have also been practicing the numbers 0-9 with number poems.  We write the number in the air with our finger as we say the poem. :)  Last Friday I witnessed a very cute scene:  Children conducting their own circle time during free play.  I love it!! Every time I write a post on this blog I feel so thankful and lucky.  Your kids are amazing and I appreciate every moment!
