In-Home daycare
My name is Jamie Murray-Flores. Last June, I had my son and when looking to return from maternity leave, I had an extremely difficult time finding quality daycare that met my needs in the Golden/Arvada market. Specifically, I found a two year wait list for infant/toddler care, and lack of high caliber care that promotes optimal growth and development. As a result, I felt that with my 9 years of teaching experience and previous child care experience, I could design the type of personalized curriculum and care for children that I would want for my own child. I will focus on the 5 stages of growth and development, allowing your child to develop a love for learning in a safe environment that promotes structured play, arts and crafts, music and movement, indoor and outdoor sensory and motor development activities. Additionally on a daily basis, we will work on social, emotional, language, and cognitive development.

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.

My name is Cindy and I am a State LICENSED childcare provider. I have been licensed for fifteen years. I truly love my job and I take it very seriously. I currently have one under two opening and one over two opening due to a family that I have had for four years moving down south. My hours are Monday through Friday from 6:30am until 5:30pm. I am minutes from both I-25 and the Boulder Turnpike, (Hwy 36) so getting to and from work is a breeze from my house! I belong to the state food program so you know your child is eating well balanced and nutritious meals and snacks which is included in your rate. I do a color system for behavior so your child wants to behave! I use a 'caught caring' system also where your child is put on a "TOP COLOR" for helping a friend or showing caring, thoughtful behavior. I have a large indoor and outdoor area just for childcare! We, three days a week, do a program on physical development and the other two days a week do a program on 'getting ready for kindergarten'. I am HUGE into reading and have a wide, ever changing availability to books. Reading is a part of our everyday. We have daily 'circle time' where we talk about family and our evenings at home and our plans for the weekend. I play music often and make sure to include all kinds. I have a ton of references from current and past parents. Please call me and set up an interview I'd love to meet you and your family. Please take the time to find a really good provider, your children will thank you for it! My rate is $175 a week, a one week deposit is required at enrollment. I am sorry however at this time do NOT have any CCAP or part time availability. Also I am a provider that doesn't offer transportation, so your children will not be able to be transported to and from school OR participate in field trips. I didn't want the liability of trusting my driving or the driving of others when it comes to the safety of your children even though my driving record is perfect. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

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.

I am a 39-year-old stay-at-home mama to 3 beautiful children (teenager, toddler and baby). I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Child and Adolescent Development in addition to a teaching license in Early Childhood Education (birth-3rd grade). I have 7 years of experience as a preschool teacher and 5 years' teaching kindergarten with Jeffco Public Schools. I offer full-day childcare for a maximum of two TODDLER (2 years-4 years old) in my home. I like to work with families that are LOVING, NURTURING, STRAIGHT FORWARD, COMMUNICATIVE, and SUPPORTIVE. I believe that an easy-going partnership is key to ensuring that all your child's needs are met. Your child will get ONE-On-ONE care with me because I do not accept more than two children at a time. I want to ensure that my program is small, intimate, so that your child's direct needs are looked after. While in my care, you can expect your child to frequent their days with trips to the park, story time at the library, indoor playgrounds, Jump Street, Golden Recreation Center, in addition to playing outside in our large child-friendly backyard, nature walks around the neighborhood, LOTS of art projects, sensory play (water/sand), blocks/trains, and an abundance of music and dance activities. Through these play-based experiences, I am able to intentionally embed literacy, science, math and language development skills so that your child is immersed in learning all throughout their day. I provide healthy organic lunches and snacks that are well rounded. There is no need for the parents of the children in my care, to have to fuss with making their child's lunches or snacks, as you can rest assured, that they will be fed extremely well while in my care. When all kiddos are eating the same foods, it eliminates the "I want that!" food wars. My home is extremely loving, child-proof, safe, and appropriately set up for toddlers to learn, play and be properly cared for. My home is welcoming and waiting for the right TODDLER to come and add more love, laughter and fun to it.
