his or her own gifts to share. We will provide a warm, nurturing,
accepting, clean healthy environment where every child may grow
spiritually, intellectually, socially and emotionally at his/her own
rate of development. We also believe that our family childcare Is a
very important extension of you and your child's family. With
guidance & understanding, they will gain confidence of self-
importance and have the opportunity to explore their world in a
safe and controlled environment.

3. Hello my name is Shelley Harris.im married to a wonderful man-Johnny Harris- whom also works with children close at
hand. He has his Masters in education and a PPS credentials in high risk children. I have three beautiful children-Keith,
Franky and Petra and seven grandchildren- whom I adore. . I also Love animal. I have three dogs, two chows named Bear
and Joy- father and daughter and Yorkshire terrier named Sasha and two lover birds- Roberto and Girl. Roberto does
tricks and loves jewelry. I have been doing childcare since November of 1989 and I understand the difficulties in finding
good, quality care for your child. I feel I have the love, knowledge, patience, and experience in order to provide a warm,
simulating and loving environment in which your child can learn and glow. My love and knowledge about children
started from the time I was a small girl. I took care of a family at the age of 11 years old. The father and mother had to
work, leaving there small children in my care, because they could afford childcare. I also had other babysitting jobs,
mostly infants. I looked after my nephews and my mother friend’s children as I was growing up. Of course now my own
children are older and grown. In 1989, by me loving children as much as I do, including my own, I finally found my
gift and purpose in life. They have given me the reason to start up my own home day care. My purpose is to give all
children individual attention, education and a safe environment, help them reach their development sages as well. I am a
credentialed preschool teacher-seven years- and worked has a head teacher in Kedren Head Start program of the Los
Angeles Unified School District. My mother was a pioneer for Kedren Head Start when head start became an important
tool in a preschool setting. Also I have received a certificate in early childhood education and administration; having done
so I have accomplished 48 units in total though Cerritos College and continuously attend workshops to further my
education. I belong to the follow organizations: Compton Association Organization for Childcare Providers; Red Leaf
Press Organization; NAEYC Organization; Department of Children And Family Services’ have been trained by the Red
Cross in infant child and adult CPR and First Aid. I’m proud to be part of the growing field of early childhood education
My full dedication and love is given to all children in my care with a guarantee of trust and satisfaction from the
parents and also hope to bring a peace of mind and support to all the parents and families by providing a safe, warm and
loving environment. This is truly the place you want your child to be! I would love to meet you and your child!

We have great staff. We want you to have a peace of

Parents
I believe that parents are the most
significant adults in a child’s life, there
for we will strive to create mutual
respect between parents and care
givers. A partnership for the benefit of
the child, we encourage communication
between parents and caregivers.
Parents are a vital part of the child’s
education. There will be many
opportunities for you to participate in
child care activities and to volunteer.

A POEM FROM 2 YOU!
Although I’m not their mother
I care for them each day
I cuddle, sing and read to them, and watch
them as they play
I see each new accomplishment, and help
them grow and learn
I understand their language and I listen
with concern.
They come to me for comfort and I kiss
away their tears
They proudly show their work to me
I give the loudest cheers
Know I’m not their mother
But my role is just as strong
I nurture them and keep them safe though
maybe not for long
I know some day the time may come that
we will have to part. But I know each
child I’ve cared for is forever in my heart
