Noah’s Ark is an early learning center located within The Crossing Church in Westminster, Colorado. The goal of Noah’s Ark is to provide parents with a safe, trustworthy source for their childcare needs that combines the convenience of a larger center with the feel and comforts of a home-based childcare facility. You will find that the staff is always there to provide you with feedback, listen to any concerns, and ensure that your child is afforded the best possible care and education in your absence. This type of attention is our promise to you that you will always have someone to listen to your concerns and goals for your child. When we say you are part of the family at Noah’s Ark we mean it. Anything we can do to make your child’s time away from you more enjoyable is our pleasure.

We believe in empowering the whole child and providing a rich and engaging curriculum to encourage this growth. Noah’s Ark provides inclusive settings in the classroom that recognize children’s varied abilities, interests, needs, and learning styles. We believe the most important learning is through curriculum based play. Play nurtures the cognitive, social, emotional, self-help, physical and problem solving skills which allows individual development. By focusing on the whole child, it is our hope that each child will develop a positive outlook towards school, appreciation of the world they live in, the confidence of their abilities and a life-long love for learning. Our teachers are experienced and knowledgeable and strive to have a partnership with parents in their child’s education. We believe that parents are a child’s most influential teacher and we want to support that learning at our preschool. Our teachers believe in on-going and open communication with parents utilizing monthly calendars of activities, monthly newsletters, daily schedules posted in classrooms and highlights of the daily events on parent boards. The foundation of a successful school experience for your child starts with open communication and mutual respect between teachers and parents. We look forward to working with you and your child!

I am a stay-at-home mom looking for a couple children to watch in my home. I have three young children of my own who love to play with other kids. After having our third child I have decided to stay at home with our kids after being a full time working mother for the past seven years. I understand first hand the importance of knowing your children are in a safe and nurturing environment while you are at work. I feel that in-home day care is safer and more personalized than commercial daycare. Your child will not be a number. Your child will be a part of our day, and an addition to our life. We are a non-smoking family. We have one dog and one cat that are obviously used to children. I will never leave my dog unattended with your child. I put a priority on good nutrition, and I am happy to feed your children healthy food, along with my own kids, and I am also happy to feed your children only what you send with them, if that is your preference. My goal is to provide activities that will teach your children along with mine. My children are home-schooled; their education and development are extremely important to me. Your child will be taught on their level along with mine. My priorities as a mother are good morals, manners, spiritual growth, and fun in learning. We'll learn letters and numbers, Bible stories, reading, coloring, pasting, etc. We'll grow a vegetable garden in the spring/summer, take walks to the local park, etc. I hope we can be a good fit for each other! I am CPR and First Aid certified. Please contact me if you would like references, rates, or any further information. I look forward to hearing from you!
