Tracie’s Treasures Family Child Care exists to provide a safe, developmentally appropriate environment for Infants, Preschool and school-age children. My focus is to provide stimulating early care and education experience which promotes each child's social/emotional, physical and cognitive development. My goal is to support children's desire to be life-long learners
About Me
I was born in Baltimore Maryland, My Mother was a stay at home Mom and my Father was a Baltimore city police officer. I am also married to a police officer for York City. When I was 14 we moved to Harford County Maryland and I attended school there and Graduated from Edgewood High in 1991. After graduation, I worked in a daycare center for several years until I had my first child Kacie. In 1998 I decides that I would stay home to raise My Daughter. In 2002 I had my second child Jacob, and after he was a year old I decided to start my own Family child care. I was a neighboring provider, providing care for three children until 2006 and decided to become Licensed with The Department Of Public Welfare Of PA, allowing me to provide care for 6 children. In December 2009 I received my Child Development Associate Credential at Pen State York. On July 30th 2010 I became Accredited with the National Association For Family Child Care (NAFCC). I was also in the Keystone Stars Program and achieved a Star 4A, I am a strong advocate for Family child care.
