I utilize my skills in critical thinking and planning to ensure a smooth, safe, and well scheduled center to build in the variety of activities we offer. I created this daycare with the mindset of everything she hoped to find for my own children and hopes that when you come here, you will feel that you've found the place you have been looking for too!

I am currently the Lead Teacher in a private preschool program, and am planning on resigning at the end of the Summer. I have been with the program since 2007. During my time there I have earned my Child Development Associates degree, and obtained certifications in CPR, First Aid, Communicable Disease, Child Abuse Prevention, Child Development, and Health and Safety. I have also completed 54 hours of Core Knowledge in Preschool. I am responsible for up to 14 children at a time in my pre-kindergarten classroom on a daily basis. I love my job, my center, and all the children in my classroom. However I have a 9 month old daughter and a 10 year old son, and would love to be able to give my children as well as the children I would care for in my home, the one on one attention all children need and deserve. I have experience caring for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. I have spent many hours planning activities and lesson plans for children as well. I love getting them involved in art, dramatic play, music, sensory activities, cooking, holiday projects and more! I also love getting them outdoors or to a park or library. Ever since I can remember I have loved taking care of and working with kids. My ultimate goal was to gain many years of experience where I now feel comfortable and confident with caring for children in my home, and want to give children and parents the security and stability we all hope for. I am a patient, loving wife and mother who loves being with kids and family and being creative. I also love doing cosmetic art such as make up and face painting, as well as baking, decorating and reading. I am excited to make caring for children in my home a great experience for both your family and mine!
