Hello, my name is Patricia Boratto.  I am a wife, a mother of two children and a Child Care Provider.  Growing up in a home that had an active family childcare operation in place (20+ years), I can safely say I love to be around children of any age; we were always encouraged to participate in the daily schedule at the family childcare in one form or another (i.e. reading stories or playing with the children).  I am a very nurturing and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys being around children; to be able to share in their day to day experiences, to see the world through their eyes, to be able to share in their laughter and wonder is a very special gift and this is how I have chosen to spend my time. 

Because I enjoy being around children, I have always known that one day I would open a family childcare in my own home.  After the birth of my second child, A Tiny Seed Child Care was born.  

I feel the homelike atmosphere of a family childcare is so beneficial to young children when a parent is unable (due to different circumstances such as work or school) to care for their child(ren) themselves.  It is an environment where children are given the opportunity to learn through play, as well as one that introduces them to new activities they may not have discovered on their own.   The quality care a child receives at a family childcare helps to foster positive – emotional, social, cognitive and physical development in a fun and safe manner.  By having a small group of children, I am able to provide a spontaneous and flexible program with emphasis on sharing and helping.  I am able to get to know your child(ren) more intimately, as well as provide more one on one loving attention, encouragement and guidance to your child(ren), not only in a group setting but also on an individual basis. 

I have and continue to attend seminars and workshops in the childcare field (including 'Introduction to Family Child Care').  I maintain current Emergency Child Care First Aid & CPR Certification.  I am also a Registered L.N.R. Family Child Care with the Y.M.C.A. Tri-Cities C.C.R.R.

My goal is to provide quality care for your child(ren) in partnership with you, the Parent(s).  I welcome the opportunity to get to know you and your child and believe that open communication is vital to any successful relationship.

Sincerely,
