[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like a cute waldorf-like home daycare. I hope you are successful. Do you have your own children in addition to the 5 that you're willing to take on? 5 is a small number for ages 2-6. More than likely no more than two children of the same age. We have a preschool near us that takes children ages 3-5 and they take up to 8 with typically half in a first year pre-k program and the other half in a second year pre-k program so there were always three to four children of a similar age and ability. Discovery Woods used to be like this daycare and probably still is under their new name, but it was a little bigger as well and they also watched their own kids. What kind of transportation do you use for all the outdoor activities?[/quote]

OP here :)

First of all, thanks! We really do work hard every day to create the space here and can not wait for little ones to come in! It's an ongoing project and if you pour your heart and soul into it, I don't think you are ever 'done'!

We are in Fairfax County and currently working with a permit - that means we can only take a maximum of 5 children. We don't have any children of our own yet.

We are hoping to find 5 children in the younger age range (2-3 years) that stay with us until they turn 7! We want to form lasting bonds with the kids and really make a difference in their lives, so the longer they stay, the better. We have two spaces for under 2 year olds within our maximum 5 spaces. The 2-6 year age range is meant to let parents know how long their child will be able to stay with us, rather than trying to fill our group with 5 children all different ages. Should I clarify that on the website?

Little Gnome Home is just starting out so the small group size is actually very important to me. We wouldn't be able to go on our regular field trips if we had any more children! We might think about taking the step into upgrading from permit to license in a year or so.[/quote]
