I'm a certified teacher taking a sabbatical from teaching so that I can stay home with my daughter. She is an only child and not well socialized so I'd like to find a few children to take care of so that she has some friends to play with and I'm needing to make a little extra money. I have taught elementary school and early childhood for twenty years and I had an in-home day care for my niece and nephews when they were little. I have a lot of experience with small children and really enjoy playing with and interacting with them.

Whether its short term care or last minute needs, Kids Kove will be here providing a drop-in solution for you. There is never a membership fee, contracts or appointments required and we are open when you need us, including late nights and weekends. We even offer meals (for a small fee) so you know that your child is being taken care of both physically and nutritionally. Our playcare is professional, easier to arrange, and a lot more fun for your kids than calling a baby-sitter. Kids Kove's playcare was specifically designed to meet all your short-term needs by providing pay-by-the-minute childcare, so DROP IN, and see for yourself why Kids Kove is perfect for busy parents everywhere. DAYCARE Kids Kove knows that choosing the right care and learning center for your child is an important decision. We want you to be certain that you have made the right choice for your child, so our philosophy is: We believe that all children have the right to a safe and nurturing environment where they feel comfortable and secure. * We believe that children have the right to develop to their maximum abilities and that teachers have the responsibility to provide opportunities for this development to occur. * We recognize that each child is an individual and that each child must be allowed to develop at his or her own pace. * We accept and respect differences between children including developmental and physical differences and differences in racial and ethnic heritages. Every child must have the same opportunities and advantages as every other child. * We believe that each child has the right to develop a positive self-image, to feel good about who they are. * We strive to thoughtfully plan activities that meet the developmental needs of differing children and which follow sound early childhood developmental principals. * We believe that children's learning should be fun and that our teacher's job is to provide a variety of opportunities and experiences to promote successful learning. WE are parents and grandparents, and we aspire to participate in your child's life and to provide the love and respect that every child deserves. In return, your child will learn to love and respect others around them. We know all about drop-in. In fact, we're so big on the idea we built a company around professional, convenient drop-in childcare.

Recently relocated to Independence, MO, I am seeking to care for 2-3 infants or toddlers in my home. I have worked in early child care for 15+ years as a teacher and facility coordinator. My family and I moved from Omaha this Summer so my husband can begin his graduate studies. I wish to continue work in a field I enjoy while remaining available for our school aged children. We are a loving family with a lot of dedication and energy to offer other children and families. I would be the primary care taker, but also have the benefit of my mother's assistance whenever needed. We would provide excellent care and learning opportunities for your child. All daily needs would be met to your request, and extra time would be spent on development and play. I have an easy going, collaborative personality and will work hard to fulfill the needs of your child as the parent sees fit. Incorporating age appropriate activity will be a priority, as well. A contract regarding rates, sick days, vacation, and caregiver holidays will be drafted and discussed upon visit of my home and decision to enroll. Our home is conveniently located near I-70 and Lees Summit Road in Independence. This would be an easy stop for anyone in the east suburban KC area.

Filling our days with ABC's and 123's, having fun singing and dancing while improving our motor skills with puzzles and games, making daily projects for mom's and dad's to ooh and aah over. Learning about Jesus and singing praise songs, along with working on our social skills helps us grow every day to be kind and loving little people. This is the main focus of our 2, 3 and 4 year old classrooms. Much of our learning comes from play and a large part of our focus is how to wait our turn, how to share and how we get along with one another. To enroll in this portion of our Early Learning Center (ELC) your child must be 2 years old. Kid's Korner is open Monday-Friday from 6:00am to 6:00pm. Children must be 2 years old to enroll in Kid's Korner.
