Rascal Roundup Offers The Best of Both Worlds -
We're Like a Center for Learning and Like a Home for Nurturing
Hours
of Operation Rascal Roundup's regular hours of operation are
from 6:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. I am flexible to open
earlier with advance notice or to meet your work schedule. Tuition rates may be adjusted to
compensate for adjustment of the regular hours.
Accreditation
Rascal Roundup is nationally accredited through the National
Association of Family Child Care. We hold an "Experienced
Provider" license which allows for eight full-time children in care
with several license type options. The requirements to obtain
national accreditation are much more stringent than those to obtain a license
through the Department of Human Services for the State of Colorado. You
may see the requirements on the
NAFCC website.
Safety
We have installed a variety of safety items throughout the home
including outlet covers, window cord fasteners, safety gates, fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire
extinguishers, window escapes, fences, and playground surfacing
material.
Handicap
Accessibility The main floor bathroom has been modified with a
wider door, wheelchair accessible sink and wall grab bars. My daycare van
is handicap accessible with grab bars on the back of each seat, stair steps, and
storage for two wheelchairs in the back. I do not have a wheelchair lift,
but I can lift children up to 60 pounds and provide assistance to walk others.
Allergans
We have a non smoking home with no indoor pets. Our furnace has
an electrostatic air filter and a humidifier attached. A portable HEPA
filter is also available.
Outdoor
Area The outdoor play area contains a patio area
for Little Tykes cars, a large grassy area for group games, shade canopy and
trees, and a large
playground area with two climbing structures to help develop children's gross
motor skills.
Indoor
Area The indoor floor plan is arranged in a preschool
environment allowing the children choices. Shelves
and storage containers of toys are clearly marked to aid in making choices,
raising self-esteem, and independence. Each child has their own cubby
for a sense of privacy.
