I am an In-Home Licensed Child Care Provider for the last 38 years. I am not a "babysitter" I am a qualified "EDUCATOR' of children. Children in my care are learning skills they will carry with them their whole lives. I teach them social, emotional, physical skills and help develop the inner control needed for life. Their love for learning comes not from just reading to them but talking with them, exploring and playing with them. This is invaluable. I attend numerous classes, seminars, and conferences. I have raised 3 fine young men. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "Profession" 'as a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long academic preparation' A "Professional" would be one who engages in a Profession. A childcare professional would then be considered one who has obtained special knowledge in providing quality care to all children and continues to pursue educational instruction in child care related topics."I AM A PROFESSIONAL" Whether or not a Provider has a highly structured program, she still provides an educational setting. Children in a home setting are loved and taught on a one on one basis. I am: teachers, consultants, advisers, nurses, merry maids, students, mommies, daddies, comforters, leaders, food experts, encourage and much, much more all wrapped up in one person.

I have over 20 years of experience working with children ages 8 weeks to 12 years old. The majority of my experience is in the early childhood age groups, 8 weeks to 5 years. At my home day care, children are loved and cared for daily. I strive to provide a safe environment, which is necessary to thrive. Weekly themed planned curriculum offer structure in addition to opportunities to explore and learn at their own pace. I believe my responsibility is to first and foremost love on each child in my care. Secondly, it is to provide varied positive learning experience that promotes brain development that contributes to life-long success. Field trips include library visits, special events such as Children's Museum, Denver Zoo, etc, and a change of scenery such as indoor play areas at McDonalds or Flat Irons Mall. I have a policy book that I would love to email to you that has all the information of what I offer.

I am very active and believe in learning through play to stimulate the mind, creativity, and motor skills. I believe it's important to read to, talk to, and use the five senses from infancy to promote creativity and curiosity. I also believe the best way to learn is through talking about and exploring in everyday life. My mom taught her five kids every chance she got by talking about what we saw and how things work whether we were home, at a park, or at a grocery store. I remember being excited to learn new things because of this, and I strive to make learning fun the way she did. I also have a craft area set up downstairs, do lots of hands-on activities, and do fun projects that promote learning. I have a daughter who turned two in March 2018, and I engage her every way I can in creative ways that keep her engaged and eager to learn and try new things. I'm looking to babysit for kids whose parents would value this hands-on approach of learning through play from infancy. We have a large backyard with a sandbox, garden, toddler pool, swing set, and a water table. There are also ball fields where we enjoy watching games and a nice park with a pond nearby where we watch ducks and geese. We frequently go on field trip of all kinds, including to the Children's Museum, Museum of Nature and Science, Butterfly Pavilion, the library for story time, parks around the area, and community events. Healthy foods with great variety are important to me, and my daughter will eat almost every vegetable and almost everything I cook because she's been exposed to so many types of foods. She especially likes picking peas, beans, and strawberries from our garden. I enjoy watching kids use gardening tools, "pull weeds" (and vegetable plants if I'm not quick enough, ha ha!), and water plants as we taste what's growing. I also emphasize manners, respect, sharing, and empathy. The goal is help raise well-rounded, caring children with a strong sense of curiosity and excitement for life. Your child(ren) will be well-loved and stimulated, and my home is somewhere they can grow and where you can be confident I'm working as hard as you are to help raise well-rounded, loving children. I found that, when I was a paralegal and brought my daughter to daycare, she didn't get the attention or interaction I feel is important, so I now do daycare and provide what I believe every child deserves.

Hello. My name is Kristi. I opened my family child care business in 2013. In 1996, my first child was born and I was fortunate to be able to stay at home with all four of my children over the years. My home is located in northwest Arvada, in The Landing At Standley Lake neighborhood. It is clean, safe, smoke-free and welcoming so children feel they are in a family home. As well, I have a large fenced-in backyard with lots of shade trees. I am open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. I can be contacted at kristischildcare@gmail.com or 720.643.7704, for your child care needs. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from CU Denver, with an emphasis in early childhood development, and 1 1/2 years of graduate courses in Counseling Psychology/Counseling Education, and Special Education. With the knowledge I gained through my education, along with the experience of raising my family, I have a good understanding of the different needs of children, and of family dynamics. Along with early learning skills and reinforcing good manners needed for entering school, it is my belief that children need time to play, explore their world, and develop their imaginations. I believe it is important for children to be exposed to books, music, toys that challenge their imaginations, and the outdoors as much as possible. I understand how important it is for parents to have peace of mind knowing that their children are safe and being well cared for when in the care of someone else. It is important for me that I maintain open communication with the parents to ensure that your children get the care they deserve. Given our current situation with COVID-19 I have put some policies in place in order to keep families as safe as possible during this time. Thank you.

I have been a licensed family child care provider and owner of Miss Carrie's Child Care since 2000. My mission statement is "To make a difference in the world through the lives of children with love and education." I believe that if every child has love and education in their lives, they can achieve anything. I believe educators and families work as a team to raise a happy, healthy child. All children are special and have great possibilities. They thrive in an environment where they are loved, protected, stimulated, given responsibilities, and guidelines/rules to follow. Children are unique and learn in diverse ways. I work hard to recognize this, meet children where they are, and help them to reach new heights. I believe in a play-based curriculum, helping children develop socially and emotionally, and preparing for them kindergarten and the future. I currently have an Experienced Child Care license, a level 4 Colorado Shines rating, a level 6 Colorado Early Childhood Professional Credential, an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, and am director and lead-teacher qualified. As well as loving to educate and care for young children, I love to learn! I am always actively looking for and completing new education as well as looking for ways to improve my program and quality of care I provide. I provide full-time, part-time, and drop-in care from 3 months to 5 years. Drop-in care is based on current availability and only provided for families who are currently enrolled in my program (must interview, be accepted into my program, and have all required paperwork on file). I provide a professionally designed preschool program that is aligned with Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines, parent-teacher conferences, child assessments, well balanced and nutritious meals, a dedicated child care area, and huge outdoor play area where we spend a lot of time year-round. I serve on the board of directors for Jefferson County Child Care Assoc. and am a member of the Colorado Assoc. of Family Child Care, the National Assoc. of Family Child Care, and Kids Nutrition Company food program. I also participate in the Triad Early Childhood Council as well as local collaborative and advisory boards related to early childhood education and health issues. I believe in being a professional in my field and helping others in the process. Contact me for more information or to interview.

Foundations Early Childhood Education

Foundations Early Childhood Education is an educational based child care center. Kristen started working with children 10 years ago and knew instantly that not only did she love being around children, but she loved educating young children. Through Kristen's experience she learned not only many techniques of teaching young children, but explored her personal style and what means most to her. Most importantly, Kristen learned that as long as children's needs are met and they are shown love in every situation, they are capable of learning vast amounts at a young age. Foundations Early Childhood education is a privately owned, family run business. We strive to create a "home" atmosphere for all children, families and employees. Even though children are taught skills that will prepare them for elementary school and the rest of their lives, each child and family is shown love and compassion. Purpose: Our purpose is to teach all children a love of learning at a young age. We believe that providing children with the skills they need to succeed happens at an early age. Not only do we strive to teach children academic skills at a young age, we strive to teach them social emotional skills. It is our purpose to instill a strong foundation of academic knowledge, self respect, the respect of others and a love of learning. Philosophy: We believe that children learn through exploration and structured hands-on learning. It is the teacher's job to offer opportunities for each child to learn. We believe that every child is able to succeed if they are taught a love of learning and developmentally appropriate academic and social skills. Teaching to the child, rather than the group, is key in laying the foundation to create successful, life-long learners. Lunch and Snacks: Foundations believes that families should be able to choose and guide what their child eats for lunch. In many cases, families have put restrictions in place regarding certain foods. This is why Foundations allows each family to prepare a lunch for their child and bring it to school. Our classrooms are set up to allow families to bring lunch items that need to be heated up (soup, spaghetti, etc). Foundations knows that one of the busiest times of day for families is in the morning. Not only do we recognize each family has to get at least one child ready for their school day, but they have to get themselves ready for work as well. This is why Foundations will offer a choice to each family as well.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Arvada, CO, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Arvada, CO may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.
