Natalie's Child Care

Our Teachers

Hello! I am so happy you’ve stopped by my Wonderschool child care page. My name is Natalie Hanna and I am an early childhood educator with a family child care in my home. First and foremost, I am a mom of two wonderful and amazing daughters and the wife to my awesome husband of nineteen years. I have been a licensed child care provider since 2007. I believe in being a life long learner and am an active member in many local initiatives to improve and constantly upgrade the quality of the services I provide. I am excited to meet you and your child(ren) and show you around my child care. Welcome! I’m excited to get to know you and your family!

Philosophy

Combining both ‘onboarding philosophy’ and ‘additional philosophy’ results in: “My philosophy centers on providing a safe, happy, and nurturing home-like environment where children learn through fun activities, socialize, and engage in independent play. I believe in honoring values and fostering open communication with parents to support each child’s development uniquely, guiding them through various stages and focusing on their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language development.”

About our program

My goal as an early childhood educator is to provide all of the children in my care a clean, safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can play and learn. Respect towards self, others, and the environment is always emphasized. I believe in the value of both structured and flexible schedules. Structured activities include the use of developmentally appropriate curriculums and environments for young children, regular reading times, arts and crafts, computer time, and musical activities. Outdoor play, free play, and birthday parties are some of the more flexible activities we participate in. The most important priority is to be safe and have FUN!

A child care position will be considered open and available until a signed child care contract and non-refundable payment fee equal to the first week of care has been received by the provider. For expecting parents and/or families that cannot start child care right away, a holding fee equal to one week of child care services will be due each month until the child can begin services. This fee is required by the 1st of each month for the following month to hold the spot until care can begin and/or takes effect the day the parent announces their pregnancy and fully intends to start the baby in Natalie’s Child Care at a later date in time.

The following forms are required and need to be completed, signed, and returned before child care services will begin:
