Hi, My name is Susie and I am an in home child care provider. I
have been a licensed provider for 8 years. I'm first aid/cpr
certified along with many certificates in such things as creative
learning and health issues and am in the process of furthering my
education.

I am 39 and a single mother of a 15 year old daughter and have
lived in Maryland City, Laurel for 17 years.

I am truly blessed to be able to do the work that I do and I do
not take the responsibility lightly. I feel as a childcare provider it
is my job not only to love and care for the children but to also
teach them in all areas to prepare them not only for school but
for the daily challenges in life.

At Happy House we work with the Learningbox curriculum which
challenges the children's small motor skills with creative works of
art along with identifying the basics ( ABC's..123's...shapes...ect..).
We also have a multitude of work sheets we use to work on our
reading and writing skills.

We are very blessed here to have a large back yard and lots of
play equipment! We try to go outside for play time at least twice
a day (weather permitting).

My discipline policy is a very simple set of principles:


A.   Setting realistic limits and consistently enforcing them.

B.   Re-enforcing positive behavior.

C.   Providing children choices based on their interests, age, and
or ability.

D.   Intervening before a situation gets out of hand.

E.    Modeling appropriate behavior.

You will find this further explained in the contract.

I hope you have found this site informative and a delight to view!

There will be more to come!

Have a beautiful day!
