I've worked as a child care professional for seven years. I first started child care in 2007, and quickly fell in love with everything that surrounds it. It is truly a field I have grown to excel in. In 2009, I graduated from the University of Phoenix with my Business Administration Degree and quickly returned to school to start my Associate's of Science Degree with Ashworth College. I graduated that program in 2012. In September of 2014, I became a Assistant Director in a childcare center and started overseeing the program. This included helping with all age group, 6 weeks-12 years, as well as working closely with Step Up to Quality. The reason for my change in career is simple, I want to provide education on a more individual basis, to better meet the children's needs. We are open from 6 am - 6 pm, Monday -Friday!

I have a great group of children that are looking for a new playmate to share smiles, laughter, and fun. I have one full time opening for ages 1 1/2 to 4 years old. I have been providing child care in my home for 35 years. I began by caring for a neighbor's child while I was at home with my own young children. My plan was to enter the work force after the children began kindergarten, but, before they began kindergarten, another family in the neighborhood needed child care. And so began my career in child care. As the years went by, my children went to middle school, high school, and have finished college, and I still have "children at home". I fell into child care by accident, but after all these years, I still find it a fun way to spend each day! I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and homelike environment for the children in my care. We have a wonderful playroom for the children. This provides a fun and safe area that is just for the children. Our backyard offers outdoor fun for all! The yard is enclosed with a 6' privacy fence and the play area is mulched with lots of play equipment. There is plenty of grassy area for running and playing. Our home is smoke-free, pet-free, clean and well-organized, while still being welcoming and comfortable. Our day is routine and lightly structured, I keep meals and nap times on a consistent time schedule. During the "school year", we have planned learning activities. Our activities are pre-planned and are included in the monthly newsletter and calendar. I try to keep the learning fun, age-appropriate, and engaging for all ages of the children in our group. I provide the extra attention that home based care provides, along with preschool activities that promote early learning in a much smaller setting. I was registered with Action for Children 1989 through 2016. Sadly this program has been discontinued. My husband and I have been fingerprinted and have background checks with local and federal databases, including the sheriff's office and a background check with Children Services. I have also completed over 200 hours of training in many aspects of caring for young children and the business of home based child care. Come visit Michelle's House!

I'm a mother of 4 with 6 grandchildren. A former special needs preschool teacher with 35 years of experience and with excellent references. It's my philosophy to provide a warm, loving environment to foster a positive self esteem and confident social skills. I feel it's also my job to prepare children for preschool, as it is tough for children when they first enter large group environment. If you choose to have your child enroll with me, they will be participating in all of these activities: Daily circle time with stories, puppets, finger plays, songs, and rhymes. We do cognitive activities such as math, sorting, matching, sequencing, and simple sciences. Your children will enjoy music and movement with instruments, bean bags, scarves, and streamers. Offering fine motor activities; blocks, puzzles, peg boards, and beads. I provide outdoor activities such as planting seeds in the spring-time while also measuring their growth, sand/water exploration, bubbles, and drawing/painting on the sidewalk.

In future years, we hope to expand to include an elementary program as well as options for infants and toddlers.
