Preschool and childcare at the same time! From 2 1/2 years old to 5 years old! Academic learning and loving care rolled into one! I taught Kindergarten in a public school but at the same time could not find a loving, creative, hands on, academically based preschool for my own three year old son. So I started my own! We offer a loving, developmentally appropriate curriculum based on the Indiana Academic Standards. Our program is for children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old. Our activities are creative and hands-on! Our home environment offers a safe, comfy place for children to explore, imagine, and learn problem solving and critical thinking skills. Pre-reading/math skills include alphabet letters and sounds, and number concepts. Our science and social studies units include animals, insects, birds, my five senses, dental health, food groups, classic literature, community helpers, and fire safety. We have a House Keeping Center, Block Center, loads of manipulatives, learning games and toys of all kinds! We enjoy story time, music, outside time and art everyday. We provide hot meals and snacks! Children may attend two to five days a week. We email a newsletter each Sunday evening with photographs of what the children learned that week and information about our learning activities in our upcoming week. Our assistants are wonderfully warm and loving qualified teachers. I have a master's from Ball State in Elementary Education, Early Childhood and Literacy. My husband and I have written 13 books on how to use literature with hands on activities in the classroom. Each semester, we share a learning checklist with you. We all work together for the benefit of your child! Most importantly, your child has fun in a safe, loving, learning environment. We are very flexible with our hours. So your child may attend either part time or full time, half-days or full days, depending on your schedule.

I have been running a small in-home daycare for the past four years. Recently all of my "original" kids have moved out of town and/or on to school so we are looking for some new friends to join our daycare. I have a degree in elementary education and was a nanny for twin girls from the time they were nine weeks old until they started kindergarten. When they started school full time I decided to open my own daycare. I also have two boys of my own...a five year old who just started kindergarten and a three year old. My goal is to make my house feel like a second home to all children in my care. It is a place for them to explore, learn, and grow while surrounded by friendly faces and lots of love!

In-Home daycare
I started my home daycare in 2003 to be able to stay home with my son Logan who is 8 now, but have continued with my daughters, Piper who is 5 and Kira is 4 months. It has been a wonderful 9 years! I use Adventures In Learning curriculum to help toddlers and pre-school age children to get ready for Kindergarten. Here in my home daycare we have a huge playroom and backyard- with a tree house swing set. We frequently go on field trips to the Indianapolis Children's Museum or Conner Prairie but sometimes just going to the nearby park or playing at the splash pad is just as fun. My previous experience includes: being a professional nanny, a preschool teachers assistant at a daycare center, a playroom assistant/summer camp counselor at a country club, a home daycare assistant, and I babysat in the evenings part time. I have worked with children for 15 years straight and it's something I've always enjoyed doing. It is wonderful to have a job that is fun and that I love. I hope I get the chance to take care of your child! I can provide several references and contacts from past and present families who have used my childcare. I have lived here in Hamilton County since 2000 and have no problem providing a criminal background check from the Hamilton County Sheriffs Department for myself and any helpers.
