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.

Wow, it's June already!
This Father Son moment makes me laugh every time I see it! 
There is so much to celebrate this month: Father's Day, Birthdays, Summer, and School is Out for the big kids!
Some other themes this month will be: Bubbles, Balls, Bicycles, Lady Bugs, Butterflies and Moths, Frogs, Turtles, Goldfish, Birds, Picnics, Fishing and Sailboats.

 Our Learning Themes: Alphabet Jive Aa-Zz, Review of sh, ch, ph, th, wh, and new this month: aw, ew, ow, ow.  Also new will be the introduction of Actress Annie, Dr. Ollie Ostrich, and Daisy Dragon each with their own song.  Numbers: 1-30, Focus 0-9 with poems.  The alphabet sign language and name recognition cards will continue.  Science: now that our plants are outside and our new little seeds are starting to sprout we will continue to monitor their progress by measuring, comparing photos, and watering.  Our little watering team is a tireless group.  They are really enjoying filling up their watering cans and running back and forth between gardens.  Thank you so much for all of the help!
 Thank you for bringing in the sunscreen and hats, we will be needing them more and more these days. :)

               As the months go by I become increasingly grateful that I work with children.  Your kids are amazing little miracles and I am so lucky to be a part of their early childhood years.
