Creative Kids Daycare

19800 Se 36th St Camas, WA

< 1 mi

Creative Kids Daycare is a small licensed in-home daycare. Our primary goal is to support each child in a safe and loving home that builds self esteem, encourages home living skills, and actively promotes each child's sense of curiosity and discovery. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Connecticut and have taught Kindergarten, and grades 1 and 5-8. As an educator, I believe children need a safe, nurturing and inviting atmosphere to learn. Children must have their basic needs met before any learning can take place. Although many children follow a general pattern of development, each child is unique unto themselves. We must acknowledge and value the differences in our children, meet them where they are and move them forward. I believe children should be encouraged to express themselves through verbal communication, text/pictures, play, and through art. Children learn through manipulation of objects in their environment, creative play, and discovery of the world around them. Children need both independent and teamwork skills to become a well rounded person. It is through group play, role modeling and through supportive teaching that young children grow socially and emotionally. To learn more about my philosophy of teaching and my program, please contact me. When you enroll your child at Creative Kids Daycare you have entered into a partnership with me for the benefit of your child. Hour of operation: Monday - Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm with some flexibility

Hello, my name is Rochelle. I am a full-time stay at home mom of 3 fun little girls. I have a bachelors degree in early childhood education from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon (2011). I also teach online English courses to foreign students. I have about 5 years of in home daycare experience with references. I am looking to help a family of 1-2 children part-time out of my home. I will be doing digital learning with two of my daughters who are in 1st, and 2nd grade. I also have a 3 year old daughter . I have always used my daycare as an &quot;educational setting&quot; , and collaborated with each parent to determine goals that they would like to see their child achieve whether it be academically, socially, or emotionally. But most of all to have fun days and grow in a safe environment.

I am originally from the UK and moved to the US in 2001, being a nanny in San Diego for about 8 years before having children. It was a wonderful experience! After having two boys, ages 7 and 4, I began taking care of children full or half days at my home in northern Camas. I like to keep my group of kiddos small enough, 3 to 4, so that we can go out to enjoy activities and they can still socialize. We love the parks, Portland Zoo, OMSI, library, reading, and music. I provide snacks and lunch. We have a big playroom and plenty of garden to run around! My family moved here almost 4 years ago after my husband retired from the US Navy and started a job in Oregon. I am extremely caring, trustworthy and reliable, and I love children! I have excellent references available and am still in touch with all my families :) I have availability starting in August - Krista
We would love to talk with you about being a sitter for your children. We love children.We have worked with children for many years. We enjoy playing games from hide and seek to age appropriate board games. We are members at the zoo and the children's museum. We love to take children to the park and on adventures. We are currently a sitter for a lovely family but am looking for just one more family to make it complete. The children we currently watch are 1 1/2, and two school age girls that are 5 and 6. We are excited to find just the right family to add to our wonderful little group. We have a beautiful home with a great back yard to adventure in. We have a play room with toys that are age appropriate for little ones and a place for children to nap. Our home is a home away from home. We look forward to talking with you about your lovely family to see if we would be a great fit. We can be reached between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! Have a blessed day! ~ Teresa & Shelby

Hi:) I am a new mommy to a beautiful 5 month old girl and I stay home with her 24/7! My husband and I bought a lovely home in Camas, WA in the Glen at Fishers Landing in October. My husband Justin Sheehy is a singer/songwriter/performer/producer..anything music really:) He is home quite a bit working out of the home studio. I have a background of being a nanny/mother's helper/assistant for 10 plus years in the Lake Oswego/Portland area working with kids ages newborn to 15. I also taught body and brain yoga for 3 years before I became pregnant in which I decided to take a break from teaching. I am a busy mamma who has an open home and a true love for children, so I thought why not! We have a neighborhood park through HOA and plenty of kiddos in the neighborhood:)

With the New Year, we are welcoming some changes and I have openings for Childcare in my home. I have worked with children in every setting from Personal Nanny to Lead Teacher at multiple Daycare Facilities. In the last few years I returned to providing care from my home. I have been in this industry for more than 15 years working with kids of all ages, with a primary focus on 0-4 year olds. In addition to my Childcare experience, I have been a Birth Doula for 10 years and became a Certified Babywearing Educator through Babywearing International in 2016. I have also received training in infant/child First Aid and CPR. My husband and I live a block from Washougal High School with our three kids and our dogs. We live on a cul-de-sac off a dead end street that provides the perfect space for us to get outdoors with the kids daily as they ride bikes and scooters and play with the other neighborhood kids. We have a large, fenced back yard for the kids to play more independently. There is also a large field next to our home, several parks and trails near by, and we take regular trips to the Oregon Zoo, Children's Museum, Dizzy Castle, and other adventures. We make it a priority to get everyone outside every day regardless of the weather so they can run and play. When inside, I have several craft and play opportunities available for the children. I began home schooling my oldest during preschool and have gathered several resources through that experience to use with the children in my care. I believe that each child should be treated as the human they are. They deserve the same respect and treatment that any adult would experience. We talk to the children with that respect. We set boundaries to keep them safe while allowing them as much freedom as possible for them to learn, explore, and be themselves. As a family, our approach has been molded by the teachings of people such as Dr. Laura Markham, Alfie Kohn, Lisa Howe, Adele Faber, and more. It is a gentle parenting approach that focuses on prioritizing relationship. I have space for up to three children in my care at this time. I am open to all ages, with preschool age (3-5) being a focus for us at this time. Care is available Monday-Friday from 7am-5:30pm (earlier and later times available depending on the situation). In addition, weekend/holiday care is available for date nights and special events with notice, depending on availability. I'd love to answer any questions and see if it's a good fit.

I call myself an old fashioned babysitter but the terminology now is day care provider. In other words, I go by whichever name you prefer. I have a small group of children (usually 6 or fewer depending on day and time of day) and have great times. I have a large completely fenced in yard with loads of activities both inside and out. Including monthly crafts. Meals and snacks provided. CPR and all required classes done. I have been providing care for 30+ years and love it. They love me and we have a great time. Parents think I am really good at what I do and are always letting me know this which just validates that their kids really do enjoy the time they spend here. Also all the smiles, hugs and kisses the kids give me on a daily basis confirms their love for me and my love for them. ***My weekly cost is $150.00 per child, per week.

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom to my sweet 15 month old little boy. Before that, I had lots of experience working with children as a part-time nanny while in school. I cared for both children who were "special needs" as well as "typical". My previous job I was working full-time as a nursing assistant (CNA-2) and though I have let my license lapse this past year (as I'm committed to being a stay at home mom) I hold a current CPR and first aid card. If you're looking for someone who will not only have the time to give your child the attention he/she needs, provide a clean and structured environment and keep them busy with fun activities and outings such as art, reading stories, playing outside (in my fenced in back yard), going for walks, trips to local story times, the zoo, museums, etc. I think we could be a great fit! Right now I'm currently offering care in my home to 1 or possibly two children.Though typical business hours would be ideal, I'm flexible and very willing to work around your schedule. I can also offer date-night care as well. I'm more than happy to offer references and a background check upon request.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Camas, WA

Drop-in daycare near you in Camas, WA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis.
