Transportation
- Parents bring their children to and from school
Dropoff Procedure
- Parents walk their child into the classroom
- 6:30 AM is the earliest time a parent can drop off a child
Late Pickup Policy: Childcare services are provided weekdays between the hours of 6:30AM and 5:30PM. Please be respectful of this fact. I also ask that you remember that I too have a family and wish to have family time with my family members as well. Because of the fact, I want to have my own time off with my family I charge a HUGE extra fee of $1.00 per every 1 minute for each child that is dropped off earlier or picked up later than my hours of operation.

Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Hello, my name is Marla and I run “A Beary Happy Heart Home Daycare”, which is located in Bentonville, AR. I decided to open up my doors to families in need of good quality daycare, because there is such a lack of true caring for the families that are relying on daycare for their children. Being a mom, I realize how important it is to have quality childcare that enables you to leave your child each day, and have the peace of mind knowing that they are being well cared for.
My focus with my daycare program is to care for a very small group of children, ages 6 weeks to Kindergarten. This enables me to provide more one on one attention for each child in my care. I also prefer smaller groups because we still are able to keep illnesses and head lice to a minimum. Most people agree a smaller group is better for the child too. I have had several doctors recommend home daycare to their patients for this very reason and because some daycares run anywhere from 50-200 + a day. It is no wander to me why children in typical daycare seam to always stay ill.
I try to incorporate as many learning opportunities as possible in my daycare program. We do this through play, arts and crafts projects, reading books, music time, going for walks, and other fun activities. As soon as your child shows the ability to start using a crayon they will then begin being encouraged to start learning. By your child’s 2nd birthday we will then move more into learning their letters, numbers, colors ect At the of 3 your child will move further along with learning more finger dexterity such how to use a pencil and scissors. Your child will also learn many important life skills in a small social group that they will take with them through the rest of their lives.
This home daycare is a smoke-free environment.

Being Savvy Today
The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
