Little Discoveries Daycare

Hi, My name is Nikki. I am a licensed daycare provider in Apple Valley.

I participate on the Food Program, a non-smoker and have outstanding references. I am CPR, First-Aid, SUIDS, and Shaken Baby certified.

Hours/Days: I am open M-F from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Earlier/later hours available; will discuss at interview.

Location: I am conveniently located at 927 Garden View Dr. Apple Valley, Mn.

My house/yard: I have a very comfortable, child-friendly (and baby proofed) home. Lots of room to play, a big, grassed backyard, and lots of fun, educational toys.

Healthy snacks, lots of home cooked goodies and meals, fresh fruits and veggies- but yet of course fishy crackers too!
I offer preschool curriculum activities for children ages 2-5yrs. We do lots of "hands on" projects.

We have a flexible-go with the flow, yet consistent schedule with lots of room for ABC's & 123's, building, reading, singing, dancing, making forts, dressing up, arts & crafts, water play, bubbles, lots of walks, picking up leaves and catching ladybugs! I don't believe in kids just running wild, and I also don't believe in little robots so I try to give the best happy medium possible. I teach good manners, patience, sharing & kindness, helpfulness, respect and responsibility... I help steer children in the way of making their own good choices & accepting the natural consequences of their actions.
I believe children learn so much just through the simple aspects of everyday life then you throw in a few neat learning tools & room to be themselves --- & voila= GREAT KIDS! A super fun loving environment..where the children in my care quickly become like family to myself and my child. I truly pride myself on that.
