I have been in the early childhood education field for over 13 years, working with young children in all age groups in both centers and family child care. I am passionate about the early childhood field and a staunch advocate for the importance of quality experiences during the first few years of life. In my program, I focus on providing children with activities and experiences that are engaging and promote learning. I believe that a strong social/emotional foundation provides a basis from which all other areas of development and learning can grow. I use the research-based Creative Curriculum for Family Childcare to guide in the creation of my lesson plans. I also use the Ages &amp; Stages Assessment Tool to ensure children are meeting their milestones and learning objectives. Lesson plans reflect the ages, abilities, and interests of the children in my care and are tailored for their specific needs. My childcare is a pet-friendly and smoke-free environment, with a fully fenced backyard that has plenty of space for running, playing and exploring. I invite you to make an appointment to tour my facilities and discuss your childcare needs.

Hello, and welcome to My Little Angels daycare of 20 years, where we teach a comprehensive curriculum. Our program offers a true early childhood education environment where our students learn numbers, colors, shapes, sing songs, enjoy creating crafts, and story time. Our facility is bright with students’ family pictures and artwork hanging on the walls. There are many toys and activity sets for infants and toddlers. There is a circle time center and tons of learning curriculum posted. Our space feels like a preschool classroom or learning center, and we use flashcards, posters, books, and more to ensure children are learning. I take pride in having a wonderful childcare space with a kitchen, play area, many arts, and crafts, as well as a spare guest room for napping. Personal Development: I strongly believe in teaching manners and how to be good friends. My goal is to send them off to kindergarten, socially responsible and emotionally mature when they become school aged. I also have a beautiful and very friendly Golden Retriever! COVID Safety: My COVID procedures include using sanitizer spray and wipes throughout the day and washing hands before and after snacks and lunch. I clean my diaper station and other surfaces with bleach and water.
