Our Teachers

Chivon Thorne, Program Director

Ms. Chivon is pursuing and finishing her degree in Early Childhood Education. In 2001, she began her career in the childcare field not knowing that she would fall completely in love. Her favorite thing about what she does is developing relationships with the children that she teaches and the their families. Ms. Chivon and her team believes in getting to know each child as an individual and to provide a solid and supportive foundation in the early years. She also believes, that smaller class sizes and the development of a strong community helps children grow to their fullest potential.

Could not be more pleased - knowing our child is in the hands of Ms. Chivon made the transition so much easier!

Philosophy

Our program follows a play-based philosophy. We believe that children learn social, cognitive, and emotional skills by exploring new experiences. Our environment is responsive to the children in our care, and allows children’s own interests to help facilitate their learning and engagement.

About our program

Watch Me Grow Home Childcare is located in Richmond Virginia between Forest Hill Ave and Jahnke Rd. We are just a short walk away from Westover Elementary.

We have created our environment with developmentally appropriate activities of any child’s choice. We have a home living center for learning through play, a free play center for developing social skills and meaningful interactions and a block center for gross motor skills. Outdoor time will be used to allow students an opportunity to exercise, run, play and move!
