Welcome to The Houle School 🐠🐬
We are a large family daycare that has been in business for seventeen years. I started my school after my son Zak was born. I have been in the child care field for 30 years. I worked at Woodside Children's Center at Amherst College for ten years while I was a nanny and early education major. These years of experience led me on the path of wanting to start my own childcare center. I started with my son and his friend Jarrett and the rest as they say is history!
A little about the school :
We currently have three full time teachers including myself.
Calvin Thatcher is an EEC certified Teacher and is in school for engineering.
Sharon Keyes worked as an accountant for over ten years before becoming a full time teacher at The Houle School. Both of her beautiful children were raised in the daycare.
All of the teachers are EEC certified providers and current in CPR/First Aid for infants and children. My program would not be running without these amazing people. We are truly one big family !
We currently have 14 children enrolled ages 3 months to 3 years. We are licensed for up to ten children daily. We are part of a food program, "Yours For Children" and serve breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack.
We can accommodate most dietary needs, serve healthy meals and use mostly local foods when possible. We belong to a local farm share and encourage kids to try new foods.😂
Our schedule :
Our program runs from 8-4:00, Monday thru Friday. Our school vacation schedule is handed out in September so parents are aware of all school closings. We follow the Northampton School schedule for winter weather closings.
We provide a safe and healthy environment for kids to play, learn, and socialize with peers. We encourage free play, circle time with lots of singing, reading, cooking projects, and art activities (we love to get messy)! We go outside daily, going for walks into town or playing on our playground. We developed and follow an age appropriate curriculum around the children's interests and needs.
We encourage families to visit the school to see if our program is a suitable match for your child. A one month deposit is required to hold your space. When your child starts two of these weeks goes towards tuition, the remainder goes towards your final two weeks of payment. If you decide not to use daycare slot the deposit is non refundable.
