1816 SW Blackstone Pl Lees Summit, MO

My name is Savannah, and my husband and I own and operate an in-home care program unlike any other program out there. Our program was born out of sheer frustration. We spent many, many months searching for a program that fit the needs of not only our son, but those of my husband and I as well. We were both working adults and found the structure of most programs to be difficult to follow, given our schedules. So, after desperately searching for a program that didn't exist, I made the decision to quit my job. I spent the next 18 months designing and developing my very own curriculum. I am currently a licensed Social Worker and have 15+ years of experience with children. During the pandemic, we took full advantage of being able to work from home Jerrell took a chance and we started working together. We work as a duo and that is what helps us thrive as a program like no other! First and foremost is size. We intentionally and strictly maintain a very small group. We have implemented a maximum of 10 children with two adult workers. We absolutely refuse to have children lost in the shuffle which so often happens in big groups of children. We want it to feel like your kids are going to a friends to play for the day, not like they're going to daycare. The next major difference is flexibility. We allow you to take your children out of care for vacation, and highly encourage, if not insist on keeping them home when they're sick, and we do NOT charge you for those days (Up to 10 days)! Itsy Bitsy is open Monday-Friday and do not offer weekend care. The rate for full time care starts at $200 per week. We accept checks, credit and debit payment. We provide receipts for tax purposes. Please note, we do not accept government payments for care. We require a meeting with you and your child prior to enrollment. During that meeting, you'll be given a tour of the home, and we'll go over the enrollment packet which goes into specifics regarding the perks and expectations of my program. Should you choose to enroll, you'll pay a deposit of $100 to secure your child s spot and payments will be due on Fridays. We accept children on a two week trial bases to make sure not only are we a good fit for your child but your child is a good fit with the other children. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me! Thank you! http://itsybitsylearning.com/

Hi there! My name is Janelle. I operate a daycare out of my home. We are located in Lee's Summit off of 291 behind the Bayberry Crossing Shopping Center! I operate a safe, clean, smoke-free home in a quiet neighborhood. Our daycare space has it's own area in a clean, safe, finished basement. We will, also, utilize the main living space during the day to provide your child a home-like atmosphere. I want your child to be just as comfortable at my house as they are at home. I have 3 children of my own (1 is school-age) and would love for your little guy/gal to join our family and all of the fun we have! My hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. I provide breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks each day. We have a routine day involving circle time, outdoor play time (weather permitting), free play, and naps. During our circle time, we learn colors, numbers, letters, shapes, etc. We also have story time, puppets/plays, and manipulation and learning activities during circle time. I teach and exemplify manners (there's nothing cuter than a toddler saying "pwease") and cleanliness. I have more than enough age-appropriate indoor toys for both boys and girls as well as puzzles, a playhouse, and a kitchen. I have a background in Early Childhood Development.

We touch on learning some self reliance and independence, which helps the children have pride in themselves. I provide warm, nutritional meals, and snacks. I show love and understanding towards the children and I enjoy getting to work with the children! I also understand how important it is to find a responsible, trustworthy, loving daycare provider! I assure you I will take good care of your child!
