Bienvenido a Carol’s House! We are very proud of our thirty year family-owned daycare tradition, providing young children a place to be children. Our philosophy for each child, as seen in our daycare’s daily activities, is to encourage:

• respect for each other
• reverence for our earth
• understanding of others’ rights and feelings
• self-reliance
• safety and good health habits
• cooperation and kindness between children of many ages
• self-control
• cognitive achievement
• curiosity and an excitement for learning

Although the primary focus is on affective learning, we also provide high quality cognitive learning opportunities through play, games, songs, and small and large group learning activities. Play materials inside are constantly being rotated to encourage children to play in the science area, the dress-up room, the library, the art area, and the games and large motor area. In many locations outside in our yards, climbing and riding toys give children the opportunity to develop large motor muscles. Imaginative play is encouraged both inside and outside and, although we follow a daily routine, children have lots of time to think, look at books, talk to each other, play pretend, explore, and investigate.

We have a wonderful mix of cultures at our daycare. Children from many countries share their customs and languages. Parents and children enjoy our annual family picnic and find similarities and differences in cultures. From sign language to Chinese, Carol’s house children learn numbers and songs in a variety of languages.

We provide morning and afternoon snacks every day and prepare a nutritious lunch Monday through Thursday. Children bring their lunches on the first and third Fridays and pay $2 for pizza on the second and fourth (and fifth when applicable) Fridays.

Our fee rate is $3.50 per hour for a single child, $6.25 for a pair of siblings and $9.25 for three siblings. After school children will each be charged $9.50 for each afternoon of attendance. We do pick up children from certain schools based on their proximity to Carol’s House for grades K-5. We DO NOT pick up from pre-K programs.

We are flexible with your schedule during our hours: 7:45am to 5:00pm, but we require that children attend at least three days each week and for at least two hours per day. We follow the Norman Public Schools’ calendar and are closed on the days that NPS close as well as any snow days.

Children think Carol’s House is a great place to have fun as they learn. Carol, Dan, and Noah work hard to help children develop into interesting, competent, caring people. If you are interested in having your child or children come to Carol’s House, please let us know! We will be happy to provide more details.
