Social Butterflies, 24 Hour Day Home
About us
Social Butterflies Day Homes are a community of day homes ran and monitored under Social Butterflies Private Day Home Agency. All of our homes provide a loving, safe, educational & healthy environment to have your child(ren).
All of our locations have their own hours of operation and not all are 24/7, most offering one shift per day which could be regular day shift, mid day shift or Evenings/Overnights, some locations may be open on the weekend - some may be open for 2 weeks on one week off, for shift workers.
Each day home is provided by our head office the following:
The agency provides all our day homes with slow cooker meal recipes and teaches them how to prep HEALTHY meals within 20 mins. We provide the programming for them to follow, this is child lead and structured format that includes:
Dance/movements/science/math/language arts/yoga and much more! The agency does all the marketing and admin work as well. We provide an on line app where you can sign in and sign out to see and communicate with your provider to see how your child's day is going!
Eventually we will have a field trip bus with a paid assistant to help them around with the children for their day out (car seats will have to be provided by the parent). What all this allows, is the provider to focus on what is important - the children and their outing planned!
IF the location is offering Evenings/Overnights, the same programming is offered by the head office for their evenings, in a different format, with homework time, evening snack, story time and bed time. (bath provided, if 24/7 care is past 2 full days - or as needed.)
All homes are smoke free, and some may or may not have pets. Social Butterflies Agency provided all of our day homes with slow cooker recipes they must follow to ensure a healthy menu is being kept up. Our food menu is as healthy as it can get, we concentrate on low sugar, low sodium, low trans fat and NO processed meats, everything is made from scratch an ensured to be healthy... show more snacks and meals.
All meals and snacks are provided for your children, serving at least 4 hot lunches and 3 hot breakfast a week out of the week.
