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.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blast Off!!! November 2014, at Judy's Little Gems




Zoom, Zoom, Zoom,We're Going to the Moon!!
This month I am excited to say that we are going to explore our solar system.  From Rocket Ships to Moon Rocks, Astronauts to Aliens, we will get messy, get active and learn about our amazing world and beyond!

Back on earth, our yard is muddy!  We are going to take advantage of this amazing stuff and create an outdoor kitchen to make mud pies in.  We will paint with pine cones, make some garden decorations, plant some bulbs, make muddy boot prints and take a walk with our umbrellas.  If your child owns an Umbrella, please send one Tuesday November 4

 Other special days this month:  Friday November 7, Hug a Bear Day. Does your child have a Teddy Bear that they would like to bring in?  We will have a beary fun day! :)  Wednesday, November 12, CRAZY HAIR DAY!!  I think there is probably no need for further explanation here!  Thursday, November 20 is National Child Day.  Some ways to celebrate?  Attend a special event with a child, donate time or money to a children's charity, send toys, books, clothes or food to children in need, read a book with a child, write a story together and listen carefully to what a child is saying.  Check out our National Child Day poster which states Children's rights in child friendly language.  

 We will be closed November 11 for Remembrance Day. 
Some virtues we will touch on this month will be Peacefulness, Respect and Curiosity.  We will be making Helping Hands and doing random Acts of Kindness.

I am really looking forward to a fun month with our little Gems.
Happy November Everybody!
Judy.
