Hello my name is Kizzanna, I am a military spouse with two lovely boys and I'm also the owner of Precious Moments Home Based Daycare. My daycare is licensed and insured. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, I'm currently continuing my studies in Early Childhood Education. A good daycare can make a difference in a child's future school years. Precious Moments Daycare offers individual programs for children to help them learn in an environment that is stress free and fun. My students explore music, science, math, language arts and pretend/manipulative play. Weekly themes will cover numbers, letters, shapes and colors. I also believe music, communication, and movement are very important parts of the healthy development of a child. I care for a very small group, as it is my belief that fewer children equal better care. Because I am able to give more "one-on-one attention than a big center, I am able to encourage each child to grow according to their needs, not mine. My program consists of a developmentally appropriate Preschool and Prekindergarten curriculum. I have designed my own preschool program to fit every child's individual learning ability to make sure they will exceed expectations when entering kindergarten, both academically and socially.

Nursery/Infant & Preschool and before/after school child care program based off various educational research findings that children learn best while having fun, playing and having positive attachments to their caregivers. I have 15 years of experience working with children as a mother, teacher, child care provider, and as a child care center director at 4 top rated child care schools. I am MAT certified, CPR/First Aid certified and have my master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction. This includes several years working directly with infants and preschoolers/kindergarten aged children. At Divine Toddler Town, your infant will enhance motor skills, comprehension skills through hearing and listening to books and music, engage in tummy time, socialize with peers and gain new independence as he/she learns to paint, hold a spoon, and use sign language. Then on to crawl and eventually walk! Here, your Toddlers are learning at a rapid rate- simple math concepts, science exploration, literacy development, physical exercise, and creative art projects allow him/her to step into preschool activities smoothly. Your preschooler will be getting more involved as they explore themes throughout the year, field trips that aid in learning and develop their thoughts to face more complex ideas about their peer groups, language, writing, adding & subtracting, cause & effect as well as gaining more coordination as we engage in Teacher led games involving instructions. Your Before/After care child will absolutely enjoy his experience here with a quiet, clean space for finishing up homework as well as engaging in activities related to areas they need assistance with at school. After school can also be just a calm, rest space where they can pick up a new book or do arts & crafts activities. Your child's extracurricular interests will drive what she does with this time.
