Butterflies and Bumblebees, Bloomfield Hills

Home daycare for children ages 6 weeks to kindergarten. Emphasizing nurturing the child. My philosophy in child rearing is found in the golden rule, treat everyone the way you want to be treated. In Deuteronomy 6:7, we teach our children as we walk along the way and as we rise up... In other words children need continual instruction and everyday is filled with teachable moments. Moments that can be used to help guide and direct their behavior that can be used throughout their life. I had five children and I home-schooled them in their early life. I found that being a stay at home mom was a great opportunity to pass on my values as I am a Christian, and to ready them for learning. Another goal of Butterflies and Bumblebees is to prepare your child for a lifetime of loving to learn. Our days will be filled with exploration and readiness skills that will prepare the child for kindergarten. I will actively monitor your child to determine when they are ready for introduction to phonics, math with manipulatives, fine motor skills that ready the hands for writing, an introduction to science by Creation, the reading of classic children stories and many other tried and true tools that ready them for the next adventure in life. I strongly believe that children should not be warehoused in a mass produced setting during their formative years. This is the time where the phrase, "less is more" is most important. Every child has a special gift and early childhood is the time to prepare your child to begin the journey to discover who God created them to be. If you are interested in an environment that your child can thrive and is specialized to help them discover how they will shape the world in the future, then this is the place for your little Butterfly and/or Bumblebee.
