I started this adventure 19 years ago after working at Tutor Time and decided to start my own business. I am glad I did. I consider myself a kid at heart, who enjoys hanging out with little cuties from age 6 weeks all the way to Kindergarten. I provide excellent service throughout the day from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. From learning to talk, to draw, to scissors skills, opposites and colors, numbers and letters, arts and stuffed animals, everything at once, they learn as they play in a very comfortable and safe environment. My days follow a routine, kids love to have specific activities and know what's next. I update every week a private Facebook page only for families, so they can see what we are up to. It is nice to see what they did during the day. Homemade meals, a fun room full all of things they need. Private cubicles. Great play area.... and my passion for them to be happy. I am excited to meet with you and see if your child is a good fit for our group.

Hello, my name's Kwestan and I have been working with children for over 15 years now. Over these years I've always wanted to run my own childcare at home and finally after much convincing and support from my family and friends I've decided to start my dream. Along with my experience as a teacher, my husband and I have a girl who is 17 years old and two boys ages 20 and 12 years old. We also have another member of the family, our silly cat Molly. Our home is conveniently located in Chandler next to the 101 Freeway. My in-home childcare has competitive rates with other caregivers. In my program I will be teaching elementary level education along with structured playtime in the form of circle time. Activities that we will be doing include reading, writing, counting, number recognition, singing, art and crafts, cognitive activities, and outdoors activities as well. Everyday will be a new beginning for us full of fun and new things to learn. I understand your need for a caregiver that you can not only trust your child with but one that will give your child all the love, care, and patience they need. With me your child will be receiving all of this and so much more. I am CPR and first aid certified and I also have my fingerprint card. I also have references available upon request. Thank you for your interest in my in home childcare services. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you and your family.
