Providing Quality Care and Early Childhood Education

           I am Isabella Maria (Miss Bella).  I am a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and the owner of Isabella Maria Cares FCCH and Early Learning Program.  Thank you so much for visiting our website!  Our Family Child Care Home is a loving, safe, educational and FUN environment for your child to grow. I encourage you to inform me about your child's health concerns, favorite foods, fears, or special interests, as I will share information with you about your child's growth and activities during his/her time spent with me.  YOU are the most important person in your child's world and I will make every effort to support you as a family. I strive to offer a program that will enrich your child's development while putting your mind at ease.  I believe that self-esteem is a critical component to optimal growth in young children. I focus on developing the socialization and self-help skills needed to have a positive self-image. I will also guide your child in developing important values such as love, respect, good manners, caring, sharing, patience, responsibility, compassion for self and others, as well as communication and team work.  Children learn well through play and I implement these important values throughout our day. 


          In our program, the children learn the basic preschool activities to help prepare them for school.  As a parent, feel encouraged to OPENLY discuss any problems or concerns you may have at any time throughout our childcare and early education relationship.  Open and honest communication is the key in the development and well being of your child.  WE are a very important team in supporting your child's physical, as well as mental and emotional growth & development.  I learned different languages and grew up adapting to different cultures.  I am delighted to share this knowledge with your children by teaching them the basic knowledge of the following languages; Dutch, Flemish, Frisian, Afrikaans, German, French, Tagalog, Latin and Spanish.
