WELCOME TO EVERYDAY SUNSHINE HOME DAYCARE
My goal at Everyday Sunshine is to enhance the mind and safety of your children and prepare your children for the next stage of their lives through the development of motor abilities, thinking skills and healthy interactions with their peers. Due to COVID-19 I know a lot of parents are worried or uncomfortable with putting their children back into public daycares which is why I am starting a small group home daycare to ensure that your children stay safe and healthy.

ABOUT ME
I have a passion for working with children of all ages. My dream job is to be a neonatal nurse practitioner ( newborn nurse ). This will be my first home daycare, but I have two years experience with all ages. As of right now I’d like to test out my home daycare before getting the state involved so I’m only taking 5 children due to state laws stating “anyone can provide care for no more than 6 children or no more than 3 children under the age of 2 years in their home without a license.” My ideal group would be ages 2-5 years old.
Learn & Explore
At Everyday Sunshine, I’m proud to provide a caring and safe environment for your children. By following my mission, vision and values, I’ll create a nurturing, stimulating and welcoming learning environment for all children. I’ll provide my students with the tools they need for future happiness and success, while always keeping the child’s best interests in mind and allowing for hands-on, experiential learning.
EVERYDAY SUNSHINE MISSION
Unique and Valuable
I believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, I’ll guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.

INCLUDED PROGRAMS
FIELD TRIPS
I have plans to make your children’s summer fun, adventurous, and educational. I will be playing it by ear due to COVID-19 but with parent and or guardian permission I would love to take your children to the Columbus Zoo, COSI, and every other Friday go to Slate Run Metro Park ( diverse open space ranging from meadows to wetlands with wildlife viewing, fishing, picnicking and much more). Some basic guidelines about my field trips are you will have to pack your children’s lunches or provide them with a small amount of money and I will provide them with a lunch. Feel free to provide them with anything you may want them to have on our trips. I will have a personal backpack for each child to use specifically for field trips. If your child uses a car seat you will need to leave it here with them so they can use it while we travel. There are no extra charges or fees you will have to pay for, for your children to go on any trips I will pay for everything! I will ensure that I triple confirm with each parent if your children will be attending any field trips that we have. Once everything is purchased if your child does not attend the field trip after i’ve confirmed with you that your child would be attending you will have to reimburse me for any items I have purchased for your child of course showing you proof of the receipts. I will make and provide matching outfits for every child, on the shirts will provide the name of my daycare along with their first name if given your consent. I will also make necklaces with my name and personal phone number along with your phone number also if given your consent in case of any rare unfortunate event. On every field trip I will have my mom and my sister joining us to help keep your children safe and out of harms way during our outings. If you have anymore questions about my field trips please don’t hesitate to ask!
GROWING A GARDEN
As a daily activity your children and I will start a garden, getting the experience of watching fruits and veggies they’ve planted grow!
PARENTS NIGHT
The last Saturday of every month I will have a parents night meaning your children will be able to come to my daycare Saturday night 5:00pm-9:00pm. It does not cost anything I will provide food, drinks, games, movies, and art activities to entertain your children while you enjoy yourselves for a few hours.
MORE INFORMATION
I will provide anything and everything needed for your child including food, water bottles, cots, new blankets and pillows, toys, books, and later on educational tools like ABC mouse depending on age. I will have extra diapers and clothes just in case, but they will need to be provided with their own diapers and extra clothes. Due to COVID-19 I will still continue to check temperatures including mine and keep a recorded of all temperatures checked. I will frequently wash mine and their hands and wash all clothes during nap time just to be safe. During nap time I will also sanitize all toys and objects your children or I have touched. More importantly there will absolutely be no visitors or anyone allowed in the house while your children are here. Please contact me for prices and late fees. If there are any questions I have not answered feel free to ask!
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
I’ve heard many stories and mistakes made by other people with home daycare’s which has provided me with the knowledge to make sure I get everything precise. With that being said you will have to sign at least a 5 month contract stating your child will be attending my daycare no less than 5 months. If failed to do so and you unenroll your child you will still have to provide me with the remaining months worth of pay. My daycare is not a babysitting service I will not care your children every so often it has to be consistent. Which also leads me to there is a flat rate each week that needs to be paid every Monday before entering the daycare so whether your child is here for the full week or just a day the price does not change based on your children’s attendance. There will be a late fee for late pick ups and late weekly payments. I will not start charging you late fees until you’ve been late three or more times. For more information about pricing and late charges please contact me directly. If you have anymore questions regarding my terms and conditions please let me know. Thank you!
