Yes we do.  There is a program through DHS (Department of Human Services) in Oregon that helps eligible low-income working families pay for child care. This helps parents to stay employed, and children to be well cared-for in stable child care arrangements.

We are Christian and we love the Lord Jesus Christ. We incorporate our belief into our daycare by praying daily with the children at all meals. We take prayer request & pray for whatever the children feel they need prayer for. During our daily music class we sing Christian songs like Jesus loves me & other childrens worship songs. We teach Bible stories & help the children memorize scripture. Our focus is to teach Christian values, good morals, respect. To respect other people, to love one another by treating people how you would want to be treated.  Children learn most by example of what they see in our lives & in their own homes.   We focus on positive uplifting aspects in life. Not bringing each other down but building each other up. We read children's Christian books for example about Jesus birth & why we celebrate Christmas & Easter.

Certified in home care is a unique choice that can provide your child with the benefits of both center and family care. Certified homes are regulated like centers and have many of the same requirements. Every certified home goes through an annual certification process and is inspected by the childcare division and the county health department. The certifier also observes the staff working with children and  conduct unannounced visits during the year

Yes, because of the demand for quality infant care in our area we opened up another home directly across the street.

6 weeks old till 6 years old

If space is available we will take school age children during non-school days, Spring break, & Summer vacation.

Yes we do. 3 Standard poodles. Our pets usually do not effect people with the common dog  allergies because they do not shed.  Our dogs are always away from the daycare kids even though they are very friendly & safe.

For children over 1 years old we prepare all of our food from scratch using  fresh, local, natural & mainly organic ingredients.

For children under 1 years old we ask that the parents supply the formula and baby food.

We are regulated by the U.S.D.A. Food program & serve Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner  &  Snacks.

Here at Heaven Sent Childcare we take our own education as serious as we do the children in our care.

We are continually taking child development related courses. Two of our staff are in the process of obtaining their CDA's (child development associate) & one is at step 7 on the Oregon registry.

All staff must pass criminal history checks, are 1st aid & CPR trained , food handlers & take at least 20 hours per year specializing in the care and education of children.

My own school age children 17, 16, 14 & 10 years old assist me when possible & have undergone infant 1st aid, CPR classes & baby sitting courses. 

All staff are required to pass criminal background checks & drug tests. I also check all of their personal & work related references.

We use a positive discipline approach to aid with inappropriate behavior. Children will learn to make choices and begin to understand the natural or logical consequence of choice. There are many positive discipline strategies that we use based on the age and personality of each individual child. ~Love and Logic~

We believe that children can watch T.V. at their own homes and that frequent t.v. watching is not appropriate for daycare/childcare. We do on rare occasions have a special "Movie  Day"  where we will watch a G movie,  eat popcorn, & relax in the afternoon as a special treat.   Other that we don't watch T.V., play video or computer games.
