I began as a staffer in a daycare center in 1995, and I moved on and started my first home daycare as a provider for the USAF in Clovis, NM. After relocating back to VA in 2002, I took a position as an Asst. Director, and eventually was promoted to center director for two nationally recognized childcare centers. After the birth of my 5th child but third son, I decided to re-open my home daycare where I could use my corporate, military, and life experience in an intimate childcare setting. The results have been excellent as I have successfully transitioned 38 children from infant to Kindergarten readiness in my 17 years of Prince William County Service. Additionally, I strive to understand my family's needs and work very hard to provide care that is beneficial to my families. Being a mother of 6 myself (ages 11-28 yrs), I have observed firsthand how instruction, reinforcement, and love can have an astounding impact on a child's life. Please see my credentials! Contact me today! I'd love to talk with you about your childcare needs! :)

At Nikki's Christian Learning Center we believe the best atmosphere for learning is one of acceptance, encouragement, mutual respect, fairness, consistency, and enjoyment - learning should be fun! We know a predictable, organized environment with caring adults, clear expectations and appropriate consequences supports the whole child. Since early childhood development is a process that is continually changing and expanding, our children are offered structured and unstructured opportunities to learn, grow, explore and discover. Children are presented with age-appropriate activities to foster their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual growth and development. Our teachers are taught to view the outdoor play environment as an extension of the classroom filled with endless opportunities to lead absorbing young minds to new discoveries. The mission of our center is not to "babysit" your children but we see ourselves as your partner in early childhood education, helping you lay a solid foundation. We consider the family as an integral part of our program and have instituted a system of daily communication to facilitate our partnership. We believe wholeheartedly that as we empower young minds we will be strengthening families We offer: -Abeka curriculum (Kindergarten Preparation) -Breakfast and 2 snacks included with tuition -Spanish, Music and Physical Fitness Class! -Before and After Care. Accepting children 2 years old and up.
