Kandi's Kids

1410 Royer St Des Moines, IA

9 mi

My Name is Kandi. I'm 36 and a mother of 2. I have been doing in home care for 16 years. In high school my first job was at a daycare center and right after school I headed to DMACC for child development. So as you can see my life has been child care. I love my job and thank God everyday that I get to do what I was born to do. The nitty gritty of my program: Non - Smoking I'm located near Grandview College. My days and hours of operation are Monday - Friday 7:30am - 5:30pm. I accept children from ages 6 weeks up to 12 years. I am state certified as well as CPR and first aid trained. I have both full and part time hours: Full time is 5 days a week and the cost is $125.00 per week Part time is 3 days a week and the cost is $80.00 per week I do give a discount for families of 2 or more children. Lunch and snacks provided A little about how we spend our days: We are a family here, I feel toward each one of my daycare kids how I feel towards my own kids. I want each child to feel loved and cared for as much as possible while their parents are off to work. We enjoy doing loads of fun activities throughout the days. We have plenty of free time, but we also enjoy music time, arts and crafts, creative play, outside time and other activities. We also get out and about some, we like checking out some of the fun parks around Des Moines, sometimes we run errands, as well as we have fun doing some field trips, such as the farm, pumpkin patch, etc. I would love to meet you and your child/children and see if we would be a good fit for each other. With a few of my munchkins starting school this year I will have some openings at the end of August. Please give me a call and we can set up a time to meet.

Child care
CCYC PHILOSOPHY In addition to our curriculum, our program emphasizes on the fine arts, we approach every day with imagination, innovation and, most of all, fun! Studies have found that learning improves when children are engaged in an enjoyable and meaningful activity. Our curriculum includes a variety of intriguing activities that stimulate early brain development with a focus on creative play. Although it may all look like kids having fun, it’s also learning in action. It’s just another way that we make sure your child gets the most out of his or her CCYC experience. Additionally, we spend time just listening to and talking with students. This type of positive interaction encourages the development of emotional, language, and social skills and enhances the development of a positive self-esteem. We also provide opportunities for each child to develop personal interest at his or her own pace. To ensure that children at CCYC are kept interested, excited, and engaged in learning, we’ve incorporated outstanding preschool curriculums that are just the right fit for your preschool child as well as enrichment programs for your school-age child. Children can begin at age 2 in our program. We are open M-F from 6:30am to 6:00pm. We do only offer full time care, and have a few Child Care Assistance spaces. If you are interested in setting up a time for a tour, we would be more than happy to do so.
