Hello Everyone!
First let me say, Thank you to all of you who have supported us, inquired with us, spoken kind words about us, and allowed your children to be in our care. It has been a wonderful three and a half years and we are super excited to announce the expansion of our business! Below you will find some basic information about the new center. This newsletter will barely scratch the surface of things to come; but the response has been overwhelming and I didn’t want to keep you waiting any longer. We are hoping to open the new center by June or July of this year!
Meet Our Directors - Yes, there will be three of us because quality childcare starts at the top!
My name is Erica Dorsey and I started Tots ‘N Toyland in June of 2014. I am in my thirties, a mother of three children, and I bring thirteen years of experience to our team. I hold a CDA Credential in childcare; I am a nationally registered EMT with expertise in childhood safety and life-saving technique; and I insist on prevention and planning.
Reina Yeargain is in her twenties; earned her bachelors degree from Virginia Tech; holds a CDA credential for childcare; and is studying to obtain an additional degree in teaching. She has four years of experience working with children from ages birth to teenager. She is a hardworking and reliable lady of whom I am impressed by everyday.
Rose Burkholder is in her forties, a mother of three children, and brings twenty-two years of childcare experience. She is a former EMT, a former private daycare owner and a current teacher, now educating school-aged children, including my special needs son. She has extensive knowledge of academic curriculum and early childhood development.
All three of us women carry extensive experience with early learning including speech, fine motor, gross motor, sensory integration and social/emotional development. We are educated and experienced with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Epilepsy, developmental and educational delays and we are well versed in expected childhood milestones. We are dedicated to shaping your child's day into an experience that exceeds your expectations.
Location, Hours, Rates, and Ages
We will be relocating to 167 Massanetta Springs Rd. Rockingham, VA 22801. This location is right across from Preston Lakes. It is 2 minutes from Sentara Hospital, a quarter mile from the bypass and Rt. 33. It is a wonderful building with plenty of parking and a great space out back, away from traffic, for our sensory playground. We will be open from 7:30am (possibly 7am) until 6pm Monday through Friday. We will be accepting children ages birth to school age and we will also offer after school care for older siblings. Our rates will be as follows:
Birth - 15 months $175 Weekly
16-23 months $170 Weekly
24-35 months $155 Weekly
36 months + $150 Weekly
After School $60 Weekly
Part Time is $35 Daily
There will be a sibling discount of 10% for the oldest child offered to parents who have three children enrolled with us. All rates will include an organic/all natural meal plan that includes breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. *Exclusion - Infants will bring their own baby food and formula/breast milk until they are physically able to eat from our menu.
Meal Plan
The meals will meet the USDA guidelines at a minimum, but you’ll probably want to take your lunch break at the center. Our menu will always be outstanding. We will be serving homemade meals with fresh ingredients and void of harmful additives and ingredients. We will strive to have only organic and all natural foods for your children that excite their taste buds and properly nourish their growing bodies. We will be planting an on-site raised garden for the children to explore and eat from.
