I have taken care of children for 10 years now. I previously worked in a daycare where I was for 5 years and then decided to go on my own which I have done for about 5 years now. I am trained in CPR and First Aid. I have also taken child abuse and communicable disease courses. I provide good quality childcare where I treat children just as I would my own in a small group setting. I live in a quiet little village with a fenced in yard with access to a little park right at the end of my street. I enjoy children and love watching them grow.

Nicole C. says "I love Heather! I was so afraid of putting my little guy in daycare, but those worries have gone out the door. Heather makes you feel at ease with leaving...

At The Nest Schools, each day holds a promise to our families. We create a culture of kindness, build the foundations for wellness for life, make learning fun, and continually take our best and make it better. Everything we do is intended to foster a love of learning and set our children up for a lifetime of happiness and success. We are an Eco-Healthy Child Care Endorsed Provider and hold the health and safety of the children in our care as our top priority. Between keyless entry pads, state-of-the-art air purifiers, and ample emergency procedure trainings, we ensure your child is safe when away from home. The Nest Play Curriculum is based on the most current research in early development to best prepare children for their future in and out of the classroom. Each day we are re-imaging learning through creative play opportunities and our three enrichment programs: Art of Living, Fit Buddies, and Paints and Pianos. We encourage children to wonder, question, work with their peers, and experiment with different possibilities. We believe that outdoor play spaces are much more than playgrounds, they are an extension of the classroom in nature. All of our outdoor play spaces were designed to engage children with natural elements, exciting play themes, and varied physical challenges with their safety, health, and skill-building in mind.
