My name is Kara Downing but now days I go by Miss Kara. I grew up in south eastern Colorado on a 2500 acre farm with my brother and sister. I was the youngest sibling and always wanted a younger brother or sister. As a young child I was always helping take care of my younger cousins and I loved babysitting. My grandma was an elementary teacher and I remember going to help in her classroom and the idea of teaching seemed like so much fun. I believe all of these factors helped my find my passion with working with children. In high school I was involved with sports (softball, basketball, track) was FFA vice president, and a member of the National Honor Society. After high school I received an athletic scholarship to play softball. While in college I started a physical education program at a local Lutheran Church School. The people and the children became family to me and I was offered a part time teaching assistant job working with the kindergarten class. During the summers of college I spent my time coaching softball to young girls. Over my four years of coaching we won four state titles, four regional titles, three Nationals appearances as well as an invitation to the Babe Ruth Little League World Series. After obtaining my degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University in the year 2008 I moved to Denver Colorado and I am now proud to call this city my home! My first job here in Denver I worked for Knowledge Beginnings Corporation as an infant room supervisor and later became the pre-Kindergarten teacher. From this experience I gained the confidence to start my own daycare program. I now own and operate a licensed family childcare home out of my basement called Parkfield Playhouse. I am CPR and First Aid certified and do over 15 hours of continued education every year. I offer preschool curriculum and am part of a state funded food program that offers nutritional education to ensure that each child gets healthy food for each meal. I offer breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack and dinner.

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 provide a caring, supportive in-home setting where your infant or toddler will thrive in a very small group. I'm committed to having no more than 3 children in my care so that I'm able to provide lots of individualized attention, comfort & support to each one. I find it incredibly rewarding to help babies & young kids learn new skills and behaviors. In my down time I read books, articles, & other research about childhood development to make sure I'm doing all I can to help them grow into the best little people they can be. My daughter is a joy to be around--very alert, high-energy...& maybe bit headstrong(!), so I've also learned different techniques to help keep her happy, engaged, & well-mannered. I'm so proud of the little girl she's turning out to be, & it excites me to help other little ones along their journey as well. As a child, I spent many years attending an in-home daycare run by an amazing caregiver who felt like family to me, & that's the same care I hope to provide for others. After spending 15 years in a fast-paced, high energy professional position, I'm taking time off to stay home with my daughter, who's just under 2 years old. I'm passionate about caring for children of all ages; I've worked with children in some capacity for the past 20 years. I'm the oldest of 4, the youngest of whom is 20 years my junior, & I was a nanny for a family with 4 kids (ages 2 mos-12 yrs) for 5+ years, providing daily & some overnight care. I also provided babysitting care to several families throughout high school & college (ages 2-8), & in adulthood, I've always been the first to offer care to my friends who need help with their kids--I'll find any excuse to spend time with little ones! I use redirection & positive reinforcement as my disciplinary tactics, I'm skilled at getting infants & toddlers on consistent schedules, and I also have extensive experience with supportive sleep training (not ever cry-it-out). I live in a fantastic neighborhood with its own park, as well as a nearby library & walking trail; I spend a lot of time reading with the kids throughout the day, playing with educational and age-appropriate toys, and we also visit the Denver Zoo & the Museum of Nature and Science frequently. As a consideration to those with allergies or sensitivities, I have 2 dogs who are outside during the day, and 2 cats who stay inside. All four animals get along very well with kids of all ages. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile!
