Why Choose Otter's Couch Home Daycare?

​
Our daycare is designed to be a safe, play-based learning environment which also provides the comfort of home, where all children are challenged physically, mentally, socially, and creatively, while receiving the utmost care and nurturing possible. At this daycare your child will be recognized and appreciated for their unique individuality. Your child will be encouraged to grow and develop, explore and play, question and think. Their distinguishing gifts and talents will be embraced to help others and themselves succeed. Your child will be welcomed with open arms and offered unconditional love, reflective of a home environment. This feature, coupled with a structured play environment, allows children the security, encouragement, and freedom necessary to grow as individuals. Each child's current level of development, interest, and ability are taken into consideration when planning the daily and weekly programs. Each individual child participates in activities targeted to help them build their unique character, meet their developmental milestones, and enhance their fine and gross motor skills. Each child will be encouraged to grow and learn in an environment that is appropriate for their abilities.

Our home environment allows children to feel as though they are a member of the family, their home away from home, rather than an institution. Children will interact with various family members, and engage in a wide variety of activities and events which will play a role in developing the whole child, as programming is designed to be flexible and meet the needs of both the client and the household. Each child is appreciated and respected for who they are, while being nurtured in a warm and caring environment.
