*First Aid/CPR Certified, Medical Administration Certified, Certified Teachers Assistant, member of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) (requires healthy and well balanced meals). *ABOUT ME- My name is Tonja. I am a 35 year old mother of a hilarious 4 year old boy. I have my bachelors degree in Psychology. I have worked as a Socio Therapist/ Youth Care Professional, and a Teachers Assistant at Hillside Children's Center for 11 years. I also coached girls travel soccer for several years. I love doing anything active and creative. *MY HOME- convenient location-off of vintage just east of 390. Safe, quiet neighborhood, on a low traffic circle (perfect for daily walks and bike rides). Safe, clean, creative environment. Private, fully fenced yard with playground, playhouse, lots of toys, and even a sidewalk racetrack for bikes! *PROGRAM-I believe in having a structured yet flexible and most of all fun environment. I want my kids to be excited, (and parents to be at ease) when they arrive in the morning. We will have daily activities that focus on developing fine and gross motor skills as well as appropriate social skills, (story time, music, dance, crafts...) We will take walks and play outside everyday weather permitting. Having worked as a teachers assistant for 11 years education is very important, (and fun) for me. Along with my son I will teach your child the ABC's, 123's, shapes, colors... as well as follow their school curriculum. Please keep in mind I make sure my program and environment is safe enough, fun enough, and developmentally stimulating enough so my own son can thrive and be happy everyday so rest assured I will keep up that standard for your child everyday.
