Straight Up Mommy Daycare

16234 Cary St. Omaha, NE

My name is Christel Flores and I am so excited to open my home up to you and your little ones. For the past 15 years I have worked outside of the home in retail management. Now I am getting the incredible opportunity to be at home and do something I am truly passionate about. I love being able to nurture children and watch them grow into amazing little beings. I am very organized and detail oriented but I also understand the need for flexibility when taking care of children. Our home has lots of room for children to play and lots of activities for them to do. What to expect when you come to my home... Lots of children art work on the wall. We hang up everything they are proud of. While my house is always organized and clean there is always a bustle of activities going on. I encourage my own kids to be creative in their play. My goal for childcare is to spend our days learning about the world around us through various activities. We enjoy art, cooking, science experiments, and lots of time outdoors. Most importantly is a safe and high quality place where children feel like they are home. I want to give parents that peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands and creating a long term partnership with parents. Daycare Hours are Monday - Friday 6:30 am - 6:00 pm I do have the availability to be a flexible with advance notice or previous agreements. I am also able to offer childcare on Saturday and evenings as well as before or after school care. With the Holidays coming up start thinking about those shopping trips where you can't take the kiddos with you. I am currently going through the licensing process so I do only have a few openings.
