Cornerstone Christian Preschool and Childcare is committed to providing care for your child in a safe and nurturing Christian home environment, while providing them with a developmentally appropriate program of education. Our methods of instruction support each child's stage of development and individual learning style. Our program encourages exploration, socialization, creativity, and independence while preparing your child academically. Our hours of operation are Monday-Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. We are licensed for ages 2 and up. Caregivers: Ms. Brenda: I have been working in the field of early childhood education for over 25 years. I received my bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education from Colorado State University. Upon graduation I worked at the Denver Schlessman YMCA in their Before and After School program, and then in their preschool/daycare program. I took a number of years off to raise and home school my own three children, and returned to work in 1998. I was lead preschool teacher at Peace with Christ Early Learning Center (1998-2003), at Centennial Christian Learning Center (2003-2013), and Kindergarten Preparatory teacher at Centennial Christian Academy (2013-2014). For Seven of the years I taught at Centennial Christian Learning Center my daughter was my teaching assistant. We both enjoy working with children and with each other, and this led us to decide we would like to start our own in home preschool/child care. It is our desire to provide care for your child in a loving, safe environment, and to prepare them for the years ahead. Miss Emily: I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education since 2005. At that time I started working at a child care center and continued to work at that center for the next seven years. During that time, I attended school to become qualified as an Early Childhood Teacher. Following that time period, I started working as a nanny for several different families whose children's ages ranged from infant to 12 years old. While I started working in Early Childhood Education at such a young age, I knew that I enjoyed working with children. However, I did not know the true extent of how much I enjoyed working with them, and how that enjoyment would only continue to grow and deepen. Children are such a blessing and it is an exciting privilege to be a part of some of their first learning experiences.

My name is Kara Downing but now days I go by Miss Kara. I grew up in south eastern Colorado on a 2500 acre farm with my brother and sister. I was the youngest sibling and always wanted a younger brother or sister. As a young child I was always helping take care of my younger cousins and I loved babysitting. My grandma was an elementary teacher and I remember going to help in her classroom and the idea of teaching seemed like so much fun. I believe all of these factors helped my find my passion with working with children. In high school I was involved with sports (softball, basketball, track) was FFA vice president, and a member of the National Honor Society. After high school I received an athletic scholarship to play softball. While in college I started a physical education program at a local Lutheran Church School. The people and the children became family to me and I was offered a part time teaching assistant job working with the kindergarten class. During the summers of college I spent my time coaching softball to young girls. Over my four years of coaching we won four state titles, four regional titles, three Nationals appearances as well as an invitation to the Babe Ruth Little League World Series. After obtaining my degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University in the year 2008 I moved to Denver Colorado and I am now proud to call this city my home! My first job here in Denver I worked for Knowledge Beginnings Corporation as an infant room supervisor and later became the pre-Kindergarten teacher. From this experience I gained the confidence to start my own daycare program. I now own and operate a licensed family childcare home out of my basement called Parkfield Playhouse. I am CPR and First Aid certified and do over 15 hours of continued education every year. I offer preschool curriculum and am part of a state funded food program that offers nutritional education to ensure that each child gets healthy food for each meal. I offer breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack and dinner.

I started my awesome journey 24 years ago working with children in 1994. I started in Adams County School District 50 as a special needs educator. I worked my way up and I became an Early Childhood teacher while taking Early Childhood classes to learn all I could while I was teaching. I then decided it would be so great to be able to run my own daycare out of my home. In 2008 I made the choice to open my own daycare Tumbleweed Childcare. I enrolled in a college again this time I decided that special needs children was what I loved working with. So I went to college for five years online at Grand Canyon University, this was a dual degree in becoming a elementary teacher and special educator. After that I loved the little ones and decided to stay running my daycare. This meant I needed to improve it so I now have a certificate in EQIT and Pyramid Plus. I have reached level 3 on Colorado shines and I'm continuing to reach level five to help improve my work with the infants and toddlers. I continue to run my daycare with love, focusing on learning and fun. I run my daycare with the structure of a preschool program. We go on field trips and the library twice a month. We have swimming lessons in the summer and just having fun. I love my job, and wouldn t change it for nothing.
