Heart & Home (Cindy’s) Childcare

(licensed)

Georgetown (Halton Hills)

Ontario, Canada

Hi! I am Cindy Lukas, an RECE (Registered Early Childhood Educator) and mother with over 20 years of experience and knowledge providing quality licensed home child care in my Georgetown, Ontario daycare. I offer little ones a home environment that is warm, loving, and comfortable yet also has places full of safe, interesting, educational and fun things to explore. I thoroughly enjoy providing childcare! I love playing with my young friends, and guiding them through fun activities, games and adventures. You will see below, a list of my qualifications. Somewhat dry, I know, but they and the many courses and seminars I have taken, are some of the tools available to me to ensure that your children love coming here each day, leave safe and happy, and that when they finally move on to school they will have the skills, knowledge and experience to do so with confidence. ** Please note: I have no open childcare positions for the forseeable future. Highlights About My Home Childcare: • My childcare is now licensed (through the Little Leaders Home Daycare agency). • Typically children in my care will be in the age range from 10 minths to 4 years. • Located on a quiet crescent, near George Kennedy Public School, and not far from Mountainview Rd, in Georgetown, Ontario, Canada. • A structured, yet “flexible” program that is based on the current needs of the children that I care for, incorporating: o Music, singing, dancing, stories, art & more o Lots of educational and fun toys o Large fenced back yard with outdoor toys and climbers o Outdoor walks and play (2 parks within walking distance) o Trips to the Early Years Centre, parks, gymnastics centre, splash-pads, orchards, etc. o Nutritious meals and snacks o Smoke-free, pet-free environment o Lots of pictures and updates about your child! Oversight: • It’s important to know that your child is being taken care of by a licensed childcare provider that benefits from extra eyes, verifying history and qualifications, reviewing safety and current learning processes, or who can just “drop-by” for a visit. Recent examples include: o Satisfactory safety, program & procedures inspection by Little Leaders Childcare Agency o Satisfactory inspection by the Ministry of Education o Satisfactory inspection by the local Fire Department o Police Criminal Records and Vulnerable Sector Screening Clearances o Covid-19 safety policies and procedures from the Ontario Government and the Little Leaders Child Care agency have been implemented and are overseen by these organizations About Me: • Early Child Educator (ECE) diploma with High Honours (now working on ECE B.A.) • Member of the College of Early Childhood Educators (RECE) • Current in Infant and Child CPR and First Aid • Ontario Ministry of Health Certified Food Handler • References available upon request • Past board member and facilitator for the Halton Home Child Care Training Program (ministry sponsored training for home childcare providers) • Member of the Halton Child Care Providers Association • Member of The Halton Resource Connection (THRC) • Member of the Child Care Providers Resource Network (Ottawa) Testimonials: • Parent testimonials of my home childcare are available for review here. All children shown on this website, have moved on from my care, and their photos are posted with parental permission. For additional information about my home child care, please email me. Thanks! Cindy Lukas, RECE
