In Home Daycare Available
August 31, 2010
My name is Sarah Ohar and my husband is an OSM-III student at VCOM. I am a stay at home mom of two. For the past two years, I have run an in-home daycare with all of the same children attending. But recently, two of the families I watched for moved out of state and I am looking to fill their spots. We have a fenced in yard and lots and lots of toys. We spend all day playing, doing crafts and reading books. I tailor learning activities to the age of the child. Except for one movie on Friday mornings, we do not watch TV. I have excellent references and lots of experience with children.
Please call me at (314) 753-0174 for more information if you are interested in finding out more about my in-home daycare.

I put together a bunch of example test questions Dr. Mahaney threw out in lecture. Some are directly from the slides or notes section, others are just questions he asked during lecture. There is a partial answer key at the end. Hope this helps!
