Yes, I do provide this service. I currently have four children, from two families, who come for preschool hours only, 9-12. These families have been with me for almost a year. The Mom's are SAHM and want their children to be ready for kindergarten and to be socially/emotionally ready to interact with peers in a classroom setting. They are very involved mothers and I love having their children with me.
