Angel Academy is a small in-home Christian childcare experience with an added preschool education environment. Through Bible Lessons and preschool education we learn about ourselves and the world around us. As owner/operator I believe childcare is an extension of your family and needs to be a good fit between the provider and the family. I have been extremely blessed with families that have been here since infancy and have added siblings throughout the years. As my sweet Angels grow and head off to full day Kindergarten this fall I am looking for another special family to join our group and to complete our picture. I have an extensive background in childcare from being a classroom teacher (all age levels), a large center director and now the owner/operator of my own small in-home childcare. I have CPR Certification, First Aid, SIDS, and Shaken Baby education. I also have excellent references. My program consists of play, education, outdoor activities, rest period, nutritious meals and snacks, love, giggles, adventures and much more!

Jen W says "We had a wonderful experience at Angel Academy. Miss Wendy and her staff go above and beyond the average in-home daycare. In particular, I appreciated her...

Ms. Sarah is an Early Childhood Teacher and mother with teaching experience in Early Childhood, 4K, and Kindergarten and a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. She has designed an environment and program that blends family style care and appropriate and engaging learning experiences for young children. Our program uses a thematic curriculum to drive our focus and activities. Each day, we spend time learning, reading, talking, and singing about topics related to our theme. Learning activities are varied to support children in all areas of development. "Project Time" is one of our favorite parts of the day! Children have daily opportunities for group activities as well as outdoor play, child's choice indoor play, singing, reading, interacting with other children, and more! Rates vary depending on your family's scheduling needs and how many days/hours of care you require. Please inquire for specific rates based on your schedule. We look forward to hearing from you!
