Foundations Early Childhood Education

Foundations Early Childhood Education is an educational based child care center. Kristen started working with children 10 years ago and knew instantly that not only did she love being around children, but she loved educating young children. Through Kristen's experience she learned not only many techniques of teaching young children, but explored her personal style and what means most to her. Most importantly, Kristen learned that as long as children's needs are met and they are shown love in every situation, they are capable of learning vast amounts at a young age. Foundations Early Childhood education is a privately owned, family run business. We strive to create a "home" atmosphere for all children, families and employees. Even though children are taught skills that will prepare them for elementary school and the rest of their lives, each child and family is shown love and compassion. Purpose: Our purpose is to teach all children a love of learning at a young age. We believe that providing children with the skills they need to succeed happens at an early age. Not only do we strive to teach children academic skills at a young age, we strive to teach them social emotional skills. It is our purpose to instill a strong foundation of academic knowledge, self respect, the respect of others and a love of learning. Philosophy: We believe that children learn through exploration and structured hands-on learning. It is the teacher's job to offer opportunities for each child to learn. We believe that every child is able to succeed if they are taught a love of learning and developmentally appropriate academic and social skills. Teaching to the child, rather than the group, is key in laying the foundation to create successful, life-long learners. Lunch and Snacks: Foundations believes that families should be able to choose and guide what their child eats for lunch. In many cases, families have put restrictions in place regarding certain foods. This is why Foundations allows each family to prepare a lunch for their child and bring it to school. Our classrooms are set up to allow families to bring lunch items that need to be heated up (soup, spaghetti, etc). Foundations knows that one of the busiest times of day for families is in the morning. Not only do we recognize each family has to get at least one child ready for their school day, but they have to get themselves ready for work as well. This is why Foundations will offer a choice to each family as well.

My name is Kristin Elliot Fox, I am going on 18 years of marriage, and I have two beautiful children. I grew up in Arvada, and attended Jefferson County schools. I received a full athletic scholarship to Colorado State University in swimming. Over my four year athletic career I was honored as a four-time All-WAC performer, two-time All-American and three-time Honorable Mention All-American. I accumulated a record 18 individual WAC Championships, and went into the WAC record book as the winningest Swimmer in WAC History. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise and Sports Science with a concentration in Sports Medicine. I moved back to Arvada in 1998. I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician for Pridemark Paramedics, while I attended Regis University. At Regis I was named to the Dean's List and I receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. I worked as a nurse at Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital, in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for six years. Now, less about me and more about my in home childcare center...Welcome to Cole Street Kidz! I received my in home childcare license 9 years ago. I look forward to growing and learning with your children. I will use themes, unit studies, music and costumes to learn about many exciting things. I will focus on learning numbers, colors, shapes and textures. To do this, I will use simple science, animals (we have a basset hound), weather, history and holidays. These events will be for fun and educational. Through constant, loving care I will strive to teach your children how to listen, respect each other and share with others. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment. Cole Street Kidz Mission Statement is: "To provide a safe and nurturing environment, offer fun activities and to provide better care than I would expect for my own children."
