Rugrats Traditional Home Child Care

Rugrats Traditional Home Child Care has been providing a nurturing and loving daycare environment for children in the Corvallis area for over three decades. Built on a foundation of Christian values, Rugrats offers a family-style atmosphere where children thrive in a safe, supportive, and engaging setting.

We are a certified home-based daycare, fully licensed by the Oregon Child Care Division and adhere to the highest standards of care. Our dedicated team consists of a full-time provider, a full-time assistant, and an on-call assistant. Every member of our staff is current in First Aid and CPR, ensuring the well-being and safety of all children entrusted to our care. Rugrats is proudly sponsored by the USDA Child Care Food Program, providing nutritious meals and snacks to support children's healthy development.

Our Philosophy: Fostering Growth Through Play

At Rugrats, we believe that play is the foundation of learning. We embrace a philosophy of child-directed, free play, providing children with ample opportunities to explore, create, and learn at their own pace. Our spacious and stimulating environment encourages children to engage in imaginative play, role-playing, and collaborative activities, fostering their social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Children in our care benefit from mixed-age playgroups, which promote social skills, empathy, and leadership qualities. They learn to interact with peers of different ages and backgrounds, developing valuable communication and problem-solving skills. Our routine incorporates structured activities such as creative arts, story time, and outdoor play, but the majority of each day is dedicated to unstructured, imaginative play, allowing children to fully immerse themselves in their own adventures.

A Second Home Away From Home

We strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe, loved, and supported. Our small, intimate setting allows us to provide individualized attention to each child, nurturing their unique personalities and strengths.

We believe that a strong sense of belonging is crucial for a child's emotional well-being. At Rugrats, children build lasting bonds with their caregivers and become part of a supportive and nurturing family. We celebrate each child's accomplishments and milestones, fostering a sense of pride and confidence.

The comfort and security of our home-based setting creates a sense of familiarity and belonging for children. We prioritize creating a fun, engaging, and enriching environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Rugrats offers more than just childcare; we provide a loving and supportive second home where children can blossom into happy, well-adjusted individuals.
