My Child Care Goals:
To prepare children for their future: Enable children to follow simple directions. Teach children when it is appropriate to sit and listen. Encourage a love of music and books. Enable each child to be self-confident, and to have self respect. Help children verbalize needs and ideas. Teach the children to work out differences using language. Teach respect for others’ differences. Teach the children to have a sense of wonder and to think about the things around them. Have each child enjoy their childhood to the fullest by encouraging:
Each child to laugh.
Each child to have fun.
Each child to experiment and to
have the self-confidence to make mistakes.

Hello, my name is Theresa Costantini, and I'd like to welcome you to my site and tell you a little about myself and my business. I have over 25 years of experience with children. I've been a licensed provider with the State Of Michigan since 1999. I'm married, (30 yrs next Nov) and have 2 great children, a son 17 and a daughter 19. My niece and nephew also live with us. They are 9 yr old twins! My daughter Melissa is my daycare helper. I also have my older niece Crystal helping when my daughter is at college. They both work part-time. The kids just love them both!! I've been fingerprinted and background checked, through the state of Michigan. My helpers have also been background checked. I've completed educational classes required by the state, and keep current on my Infant and Child CPR and First Aid certification. I'm a member of several child care online support groups. I'm also a member of the local Childcare Resource and Referral Agency, and have my day care registered with the city of Brownstown.
My Child Care Philosophy:
As a Family Child Care Provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy place for children. A place where they can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially at their own pace. I believe children learn through play and benefit from a structured yet flexible schedule. Activities will be offered which stimulate sensory motor development, language development, writing and reading skills, and social interaction. The development of a strong self-esteem is also a major goal. Children will be taught to respect themselves, each other, adults, and property.
