My name is Esther and I provide Home Child Care through Compass ELC. I am a mother of 4 children and granny to 3 grandchildren. My journey in Child Care has come full circle in 40 years. For 25 years I did Home Child Care, then started working supply for Compass ELC (Kawartha Child Care). During my time at the centres I decided to apprentice to become an Early Childhood Educator and completed the program over 3 years. Over 10 years I had the opportunity to work School Age which allowed for opportunities to work with other age groups like infants, toddlers and preschoolers. As life changed and opportunities become available I made the decision to go back to doing Home Child Care.
What I offer depends on the children’s interest and where they take things. Some activities have included: geocaching , sewing, experience/learning more things, ability to go on bus, doing community things, baking, making slime, arts , crafts, playing outside, making mud pies, having fun, being around family and friends.
