My Childcare Services

Children’s healthy development

depends on safe and

positive experiences

during the first few years of their life.

This is why the first years of a child’s life

are, by far, the most important.

A lot of parents need to work

during these early years

and it has been my pleasure

to be able to provide

loving care for their child.

I believe that exploration, experimentation,

exposure to language and reading

are all important building blocks

in the healthy development of your child.

Want to enroll your child

in one of the best

Day Care Centers?

Luisa’s Child Care is rated as one

of the best Home Daycares,

and safest Listed Family Homes,

in Amarillo Texas.

My program provides loving care and

early education to children,

aged 8 weeks to 4 years old.

My childcare curriculum plan has

been created to fill the day

with fun lessons and activities

that meet the developmental needs

of all the children in my care.

Having a well thought out

childcare curriculum

in a safe, nurturing,

and stimulating environment

ensures that my childcare program

will keep offering families

the level of quality that they deserve.

At Luisa’s Child care

your child will feel comfortable

and relaxed while learning through

one-on-one sessions and more!

I provide all equipment, furniture, and supplies needed for childcare.

They are cleaned and sanitized as needed,

and on a daily basis for the children’s health & safety.

Parents are required to provide disposable diapers, wipes,

and baby food as needed for their child.

Car seats are not allowed at Daycare due to limited space,

and because baby is required to be awake upon arrival

in order to make screening for fever and

illness symptoms feasible for Childcare Provider.

Additionally, infants are aware of their surroundings when they are awake.

Therefore, knowing they are being dropped off at Daycare

by their Parent or legal guardian and by receiving a friendly greeting

by their Childcare Provider every morning, helps infants feel secure

and adapt well to their Daycare’s environment & daily routine.

If supplies are needed at Daycare,

parents may drop them off until pick up time.

As a Complimentary Service,

Parents receive a “Daily Record” in writing of their child’s

Drop Off & Pick Up Times, meals & snacks, diaper times,

monitored temperature 🤒, and nap times 😴.

Also, I am bilingual and will be happy to speak to your child

the language spoken at home,

may it be American English or Spanish.

About My Facilities and Admissions

Luisa’s Child Care in Amarillo TX

offers the best care for children

from 8 weeks to 4 years old

Daycare has a Maximum Capacity of six children,

(three unrelated and three related),

of which no more than two are under 2 years old.

Child Care Provider accommodates kids

aged 8 weeks to 4 years old with unrelated children,

and 8 weeks to 13 years old with related children

(Provider’s nephews, nieces, or grandchildren).

*Note 📝: Daycare has a Maximum Capacity of three children,

(whether related to Childcare Provider or not),

when three infants aged 2 to 11 months are enrolled.

(ONLY ONE CHILD PER FAMILY IS ADMITTED)

AGE REQUIREMENT FOR NEW ENROLLMENTS

✅ Baby must be 8 weeks to 5 months old,

by first day of childcare, with no exceptions.

*Available Openings may be “reserved”

at your earliest convenience after your baby is born,

if enrollment is preferred before 8 weeks of age,

with a paid Three Week Deposit of $300 (non-refundable)

and with a Weekly paid Childcare Enrollment Fee

of $100 that is due every week on Friday, for as long as

your baby’s Childcare Enrollment is reserved.

However, please keep in mind that your baby may not

begin attending Daycare until at least 8 weeks of age

and must also be up to date with immunizations.

This Regulation is strictly for your baby’s Health & Safety.

An infant’s immune system doesn’t mature

until around 2 to 3 months of age.

This is very important in helping a child

fight off viruses or bacteria.

✅ Children aged 6 months and older

are not accepted as New Enrollments.

Children in this age group take longer to adapt

to a new Daycare Environment and Daily Routine,

which may cause symptoms of

separation anxiety for a prolonged time.

A Public Daycare, with more than one Childcare Provider,

will be a better fit for children in this age group.

✅The best age to start Daycare

is before your baby is 6 months old.

Stranger anxiety is a perfectly normal developmental

stage that often begins around 6 to 8 months of age.

Most babies start teething at around 6 months of age.

Baby teeth sometimes emerge with pain or discomfort.

For these reasons, you might notice your baby fussing,

or wanting to be held or comforted more often.

At 6 months of age, your baby should receive

additional vaccines recommended by your Pediatrician.

Sometimes children have mild reactions from shots,

such as pain at the injection site, a rash, or a fever.

Taking all of the above into consideration,

it is recommended that you do not begin childcare

at 6 to 12 months of age when possible.

Not every child is the same and some may experience

separation anxiety at different ages.

No matter their age, I believe that it is important to stay

consistent, and create short, fun goodbye routines.

Dropping off your baby at Daycare for the first time

can be challenging for everyone involved.

To make it easier for parents and their baby with

the transition from home care to full time childcare,

enrollment at Luisa’s Child Care is required to

take place before baby is 6 months old.

SPECIALTIES

Luisa’s Child Care specializes in accepting as “New Enrollments”

only infants, aged 2 to 5 months old, for Full Time Childcare.

My goal as a Childcare Provider for all children

that are under my care, is to help them feel at home,

play, learn, and have fun throughout their day.

I truly care for them each day,

I proudly see each new accomplishment,

and consistently help them grow and learn.

Most importantly, my Daycare Program is very well

structured to provide a safe, healthy, stable,

and trusting environment through the first years

of each child’s development as an infant, toddler, and preschooler.

✅ PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I’M THE

ONLY CHILD CARE PROVIDER PRESENT.

THEREFORE, TO AVOID FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE

WHILE I AM WORKING WITH THE CHILDREN,

ONLY MOTHERS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME

TO VISIT THEIR CHILD AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY,

WITHOUT CALLING AHEAD OR WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.

HOWEVER, MOTHERS ARE REQUIRED TO CARE FOR

THEIR OWN CHILD DURING THEIR VISIT,

WITHOUT DISTURBING THE DAYCARE’S SCHEDULE

AND KEEPING IN MIND THAT CHILDCARE

IS STILL IN PROGRESS FOR OTHER CHILDREN.

ALTHOUGH INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND PRESCHOOLERS

CAN’T TELL TIME, IT IS QUITE REMARKABLE HOW THEY

DEVELOP A SENSE OF ORDER THROUGH REPEATED ROUTINES.

MY DAYCARE’S SCHEDULE IS FLEXIBLE,

BUT THE EVENTS OF THE DAY ALWAYS FOLLOW

THE SAME SEQUENCE ON A DAILY BASIS.

THEREFORE, CHILDREN BECOME ACCUSTOMED

TO KNOWING WHEN “PICK UP TIME” TAKES PLACE.

WITH THIS IN MIND, TO AVOID UNNECESSARILY CONFUSING

OR UPSETTING CHILDREN BY THE CHANGE WHEN MOM

VISITS THEM, VISITORS ARE ENCOURAGED AND REQUIRED

TO TAKE THEIR CHILD WITH THEM AT THE SAME TIME

THEY LEAVE THE DAYCARE PREMISES.

📝 (*MOTHERS THAT VISIT MY DAYCARE FACILITY

WILL BE REQUIRED, WITH NO EXCEPTIONS,

TO HAVE THEIR TEMPERATURE TAKEN BEFORE

Important Additional Information
(Attendance Policy)

My primary goal as a Childcare Provider is to provide a healthy, safe, and fun environment for all children under my care as best I can. My Daycare’s Regulations & Policies have been established with this goal in mind and to help me provide the best quality childcare service that every child deserves.
My Home 🏠 Daycare has several closing days during the year. Plus, I don’t admit sick children that are contagious 😷; (have a runny nose, severe congestion, sneezing 🤧, coughing, sore throat, or other illness symptoms with a temperature 🤒 of 99f or higher without the use of fever suppressing medications), or are not feeling well enough to attend Daycare comfortably. Therefore, most children are excluded from childcare several times during the year or are frequently absent. To avoid the stress and inconvenience of being absent from work on a regular basis, all parents are highly recommended and required to have a Dependable Backup Sitter, before enrolling their child in my Home Daycare on a Full-Time Basis. A Backup Sitter that is employed or has a full-time job, will not be a Dependable Backup Sitter for you.
Closing Days: When I am too sick and feverish 🥵 to work (rarely), one personal day per month for a maximum of 10 days per year, one week twice per year for family vacations, and all Federal Holidays. 📝 NOTE: (DISCOUNTS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED FOR ANY ABSENCES OR CLOSING DAYS, WITH NO EXCEPTIONS)
All children are required to be up-to-date with their immunizations and feel well enough to participate comfortably in all childcare activities, including outside play, without compromising other children’s health and safety. I am the only Childcare Provider present and I don’t have employees to help with the multiple childcare tasks. Therefore, children that are too fussy 😭 😩 (with persistent or nonstop crying/whining), are uncomfortable due to teething or illness 🤒, and need more care than I can provide, they are not admitted for childcare until they are feeling well enough to attend Daycare comfortably 😊.
Children that arrive crying 😢 😭 at Daycare for any reason, will not be admitted for childcare for the rest of the day. It is the Parents’ responsibility to comfort their child at home prior to attending Daycare. This regulation will also help keep the Daycare’s environment peaceful and fun for “all” children that are currently attending. On the other hand, children that do not want to attend Daycare will not be forced to do so at any time. This regulation includes new enrollments. This is strictly for the children’s health & safety. Prolonged stress and anxiety is not healthy for anyone, including for Parents and Provider. Additionally, children that don’t want to be separated from their parents, naturally will not want to be separated from their caregiver during the day either. Therefore, providing quality child care service and undivided attention to “all” children under my care will not be feasible, if a clingy child is admitted or forced to attend Daycare. Each child’s happiness and well being will always be my primary concern, for as long as they are under my care and responsibility.
All children are observed daily upon arrival for illness symptoms. Children that look ill or have any illness symptoms, their temperature 🤒 will be taken by Childcare Provider before their parent leaves to work to make sure their child is not sick.
To stop 🛑 the spread of viruses or infections, during an outbreak or pandemic, all of the children’s temperature 🤒 will be taken upon arrival by Childcare Provider before they are admitted for childcare on a daily basis. Parents will be required to wait outside while their child is being screened for fever and illness symptoms, or wear a face covering 😷 if carrying an infant inside the Facility for the baby’s Health Check. Social Distancing must be practiced between parents and children, when more than one child is enrolled. Therefore, all parents are required to wait in their vehicle during drop off and pick up times until prompted by Childcare Provider to bring their child to the Facility's Entrance. This Health & Safety Regulation will also be strictly enforced, when a child returns to Daycare after recovering from an illness. Child’s temperature will be required, with no exceptions, to be completely normal (lower than 99f) and with no illness symptoms, (runny nose, congestion, sneezing 🤧, sore throat, or cough 😷), in order to be readmitted for childcare. Together we can stop 🛑 the spread! Having a healthy Daycare environment for everyone, greatly outweighs the inconvenience of being absent from Daycare when sick.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOL: Please act responsibly. Sick children may not attend Daycare for 14 days after onset of illness symptoms, unless fever subsides to normal for at least 24 hours and child does not have any illness symptoms. Two weeks after onset of illness symptoms, child may return to Daycare if fever has subsided to normal for at least 24 hours and does not have acute/severe symptoms caused by allergies or illness. 📝 Note: (Allergies or teething will not be accepted at any time as the main source of any illness symptoms for at least 14 days after their onset, for everyone’s Health & Safety)
Children that have a noncommunicable illness; (their temperature is normal, lower than 99f, without the use of fever suppressing medications), yet are lethargic, not feeling well, or are uncomfortable due to pain or acute symptoms; (runny nose, severe congestion, constantly coughing😷, constantly sneezing 🤧 with mucus), they will require care at Home, (not at Daycare), for their own Health & Safety.
A Doctor’s Note will be accepted as a medical document that your child is not contagious, but it will not exempt your full compliance with the Daycare’s “Attendance Policy” and “Illness Policy”.
For sanitary and feasible reasons, when children have a runny nose caused by allergies or illness, they are not admitted for childcare. For the children’s Health & Safety, I clean and sanitize all toys and furniture as needed to keep the Daycare’s environment germ-free through out the day as best I can. Additionally, I am constantly busy all day with multiple childcare tasks. Therefore, it is also not feasible at Daycare to be wiping and clearing up runny noses frequently in order to keep all children in my care comfortable, especially while they are playing or eating with their friends.
*Children that have a runny nose or other acute symptoms caused by allergies or illness, will not be comfortable to attend Daycare, will require more care than I can provide, and will compromise other children’s health & safety.
A GOOD RULE OF THUMB👍TO ATTEND DAYCARE: YOUR CHILD IS HAPPY 😊, HEALTHY, AND COMFORTABLE.
