We are an independent, nonsectarian preschool focusing on creative arts and sciences for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. At Curious Minds, we strive to provide a clean, safe, nurturing and educational environment for young children and their families. Within our care, children develop skills that promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in being supportive of our parents, and we welcome their positive involvement and presence at Curious Minds at all times. We further believe that within our environment, children can thrive and have the opportunity to blossom into responsible and contributing members of our society. We believe when you allow children to experience the thrill of exploration, the excitement of active play, and the confidence and security of a supportive and loving teacher, they discover that fun and learning go hand in hand. When children develop a warm and trusting relationship with teachers, in return children are empowered to believe in themselves. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to nurture and provide a safe and encouraging environment for each child. We recognize that all children have a distinct pattern of development with distinct and differing needs. This is why we offer High Scope Curriculum that will help foster self-learning and decision making in all children. In addition to striving to create an ideal environment for your child, we also have a unique location. The building looks like a luxurious home and parents visiting us love our playground. We are close to the main road and yet located in a secluded place with the kids' playground hidden away from the road and parking lots in a beautifully wooded area. We also allocate resources where it matters most - teachers and educational, nurturing experience. We go an extra mile trying to hire the best teachers available.

I offer safe, reliable, fun, and educational child care during West Virginia home football games. Football games can be a great event but not always suitable for the little ones. I will provide adequate meals and a safe environment for the children as well as a nap area if needed. I am located only seconds from the stadium for the easy drop off and pick up.

This is great for working parents! Children ages 1 years old to 5 years old. I worked with children at an in-home childcare for 6 years. I have 14 years of child experience and I have 3 children of my own that are now in school. May drop child off at my home at 8 a.m. (or earlier if need be) and may pick up child at 5 p.m. (later if need be). Plenty of room to play and a backyard. We will be doing fun, safe and interactive arts and crafts. I keep a very clean and organized home and we live a healthy lifestyle (fruits and veggies are huge in our home). Please feel free to contact me for any questions. Hope to hear from you soon! Kirsten. KirstenF56@msn.com
