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.

September 2014, Judy's Little Gems Update

Horne Lake Caves
It is September and with my oldest child turning 18 this month, I have been on a trip down memory lane.  My children are an amazing gift and it is indescribable how much I love them! Watching them grow and change year after year has made me so proud of all that they have achieved and excited for their future.  It won't matter how old my kids get, I will always be their proud Mama and biggest fan.

 2014 has been filled with significant milestones for us as a family.  My youngest became a teenager, middle child a 16 year old who will soon be driving, and now Linden is turning 18.  We celebrated 2 graduations:  Kaiya, from elementary school and Linden has now graduated high school and completed his first year of college.  I had my 20 year reunion with my fellow graduates of the Early Childhood Education program this summer.  I also turned 40!!

At Judy's Little Gems this month we have a big milestone for the Twins who are graduating from Preschool and are off to Elementary school!! I have been lucky enough to care for them since they were 3 years old.  Congratulations Girls!   This month our themes will be Back to School, Friends, Fall, and 5 Senses.  We will learn about the numbers 10,20, 30, 40, 50 and letters s, t, u, v, w.  Colors this month are silver, teal, brown, red, and yellow, shapes are star, triangle, +, square and octagon.  We will be focusing on sensory experiences, developing caring friendships, learning to hold a pencil and print our names, tell a short story, telling time and letter sounds.

The seasons are changing and our young ones are noticing.  The mornings will be getting cooler and we will soon change our routine so that we begin our day indoors.  We will continue meeting outside for the first two weeks of September.  The children will be needing sweaters, coats and rain gear as we move into Fall.  I am really looking forward to sharing the activities that I have planned for this month!

Watch for the summer photos that I will be posting soon on our Facebook page :)

Wishing you a lovely Back to School and Fall, with a focus on all of the Beauty this Season offers.   Thank you for bringing your little Gems to me <3
