We are a new childcare center in Lakewood, CO serving ages 6 weeks - 5 years old. What sets us apart is that we are family owned and operated and this means that one of the owner directors is always on site! We are also in queue to go through Colorado Shines Quality Rating for this new facility. At our first center we went though Colorado Shines Quality Ratings program and received a Level 5 which is the highest possible score. We strongly believe that in order to become a high quality program we need to have high quality teachers that are working in a stress free environment where they can provide the care and love that each child needs and deserves. We value every single staff member and know that without them our program would not exists and children would not be getting the care they deserve. We are proud of our above industry staff retention rate and to be a place where staff are happy to work at. Lastly we also strongly believe in structured play based learning through our Frog Street Curriculum. We have been using the Frog Street curriculum for many years now and have received such great positive feedback from families of all age groups. Please reach out to us to schedule a tour where we can go over in depth about who we are and our program has to offer for your little one :)

I am a licensed childcare provider with 25+ years of experience. 16 of those years doing Family Childcare. I have a B. A. in Early Childhood. It is my goal to provide families with a family childcare that can offer a comfortable balance between a daycare center & a babysitter. Parents can feel confident that in choosing my childcare program; their child will not be left to watch TV & play with a box of toys all day. While I do integrate curriculum, arts & crafts and a variety of developmentally appropriate activities, during the day, the emphasis is on play. The schedule, programs and activities I offer gears more towards the individual child, where there is opportunity for each child to be him / herself, explore and learn at their own pace within the realm of their own interests. The children are also offered, what I feel even the best daycare center cannot duplicate, the warm loving atmosphere of home. It is very important for the success of the children that we cooperate and share ideas to support their development.

Thank you for considering my licensed child care home. I've been in the daycare business for over 23 years, currently I am seeking to have capacity for 4 children in my care. My location is Garrison & Jewell. Having raised two kids of my own (they are grown and have children of their own now!), I still feel that this is my calling in life and I truly love the work. I describe my daycare as your child's 'home away from home,' in that they will have fun, be well attended to, and feel comfortable when you (the parents) are away. I am especially interested in providing personal attention to each and every child that are in my care, with a tailored approach to each child and their family.
