A little bit about me
My name is Julie Ryan, my home is located at the base of Mt. Greylock in Adams, Massachusetts. I have been working in the Child Care field since 1985 and providing childcare out of my home since 1989. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I decided to become a childcare provider.
In 1983 I graduated from Charles H. McCann Technical High School with a degree in Computer Data Processing and Programing. In 1985 I accepted a job working with a non-profit Child Care Organization where I mainly worked in the Office of a Family Day Care program. My responsibilities included calling providers for hours, provider reimbursements, nutrition menu reviews and billing, client fees, billing and collections, state contract reimburse- ment and billing along with many other office duties. I also held another position working in sub-contracted homes with Daycare Providers doing activities with children, training's, support and nutrition monitoring. Working with the Family Daycare staff, child care providers, parents and children gave me the opportunity to see what Home Day Care was all about.
In 1989 I decided that I wanted to be able to spend time with my daughter, Sarah, who was then 4 years old, before she started school. It was at this time that I decided to purchase my own home and open my own Home Day Care Business. With my knowledge in the child care field, finances, my love for children and people in general, I was most confident that I would have a successful program.
All these years later...I am thankful to have been able to watch my daughter grow into a beautiful young lady, she has graduated from college, has her Masters in Special Needs and has blessed me with a beautiful granddaughter. I have been fortunate to be a major part of shaping her life as-well-as that of so many other children over the years. Nothing is more heart warming than watching a child learn and grow. The love you give to a child is returned a hundred times over which is why I truly enjoy this profession, it is most rewarding and continues each day to be even more so.
Please feel free to explore my website, I will continue to update and add new things monthly, so please come back again. Thank you for taking the time to visit.
