Cami's Child Care

16147 Itasca Ave SE Prior Lake, MN

< 1 mi

My goal for Cami's Child Care is to provide a "Home Away From Home" for all children in my care. The mission is to be a place where kids love to spend time and where parents feel great about leaving their child while they are at work. I am dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere that allows children to develop at their own unique rate. Children need to feel safe and confident in order to learn and grow. At Cami's Child Care I work towards cultivating a positive, fun environment by treating each child with respect and providing lots of loving individual attention. Cami's Child Care encourages developmental growth in the areas of intellectual, social, physical, and emotional skills, through a wide assortment of group activities, individual play, and quiet periods. I have a great selection of toys and learning materials that let children develop confidence in their abilities explore, learn, make things, and have plain old fun! Programs include age appropriate activities and I like to incorporate specific interests of the children into our plans. I believe that an effective childcare works as a partnership between parents and the childcare provider. Parents are encouraged to make suggestions and comments. Parent visits are welcome at anytime. I do not discriminate based on race, color, sex, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, or public assistance status. I look forward to working together to provide your child with the best care possible.
