Welcome to Smallpond Childcare's website!
We are a small childcare home that is fully licensed by the State of Alaska. We strive to provide a warm and gentle environment for small children to explore and play. We believe that the best kind of learning happens when children are involved in the rhythms of the day and are given plenty of opportunities for ownership of their activities. We look forward to days filled with laughter, singing, bread baking, dancing, outside exploration, painting, play-dough, dress up, and books...lots and lots of books!

Best. Day. Ever.

I'm finally moving into the little house. It is so darned cute and sunny I can't stand it! I forgot my camera today but will bring it tomorrow so I can post pictures of the progress. Bea and Fox helped "unpack" all day and friends came over to break in the new space with some rowdy kid energy (who would have thought a giant stuffed alligator could entertain four kids for an hour?)

For those of you who will be participating in the day care assistance program (fantastic program, btw...ask me about it if you're not in the know), I'm still in the process of getting fire marshal approval of the house. Gunner Person is sheetrocking the utility room which now has a new heavy duty steel fire rated door, the emergency lighting will be going up, the front porch is re-built and I'm just crossing my fingers that they will like what they see and sign off on me. The rest of my licensing for the state is cleared and the fire marshal is the last piece of the puzzle.

For those of you who will be paying out of pocket and who do not necessarily need to wait for my licensing to be complete, I am still planning to begin accepting kids March 14th. Keep those enrollment forms coming in! I can't schedule everyone without them. You can now come by the house to visit, just give a call ahead of time to make sure I'm there and not out doing errands.

Hooray!
