ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m JoAnn Fryman.  I have been a licensed childcare provider for over 12 years.  I am a mother of 4 grown children. I am a wife of a Retired Air Force Man.  My College education is in Business Administration and Early Childhood Education. 

In my program you will find: 

Y Creative experiences through music, reading dramatic play (pretend) and art activities.

Y Toys & play equipment that are right for each child’s age and stage of development.

Y A schedule that meets young children’s need for routine, but is flexible enough to meet the needs of each child.

Y Clean, Safe & Early literacy-educationally based.

Business Hours: 6:30 A - 5:45 P (I also offer hourly evening and weekend childcare)

PHILOSOPHY:

I believe when a child comes into my care, a very important relationship begins to grow, and that the parents and I form a strong partnership in caring and guiding the child.  I know my schedule needs to be flexible for the mothers and fathers who work outside their home.   

It is my honor to serve my local community by offering a stable, flexible, loving and educationally rich environment so that the mothers and fathers can meet their commitment.     I promise at all times to give the very best care possible to your child. Every child is an individual who has his/her own rate of physical development and own pace of learning. Each child is accepted, loved, nurtured, and taught as an individual. I will encourage and build each child’s imagination and creativity to instill a greater sense of self-worth and encourage self-confidence.

Every child is guided through the day with positive reinforcement in all activities, always encouraged to try and try again, and is never pressured into participation of any activity. 

Our daily activities are designed to provide appropriate experiences in the following early childhood development areas: Social Development, Cognitive Development, Language Skills, Physical Development, and Emotional Development.

EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM:

1.    Fireflies Curriculum along with my customized program introduces letters, numbers and words that start with the letter of the day.  I use this letter with my daily lesson to include science, math, social studies, geography, art, music and American Sign Language.

2.     American Sign Language “Sign to Me” (ASL) using 165 words, phrases and songs to create a bridge for communicating to non speaking infant and toddler, offering Preschoolers an opportunity to excel using ASL as a second language

3.    Healthy Alternatives for Little Ones (HALO)- is similar to the DARE program you find in the Middle schools, but built for 2-5 year olds using songs, art, craft, dance and stories.    It is a series of developmentally appropriate lessons emphasizing the importance of growing in healthy ways.
