My name is Caren Barnes and I am now accepting children 2-10 years old. My Friend's House Childcare has been licensed for 30 years. The childcare is kept very clean and we wash hands throughout the day. Unlike other childcare where the children are constantly sick, children here rarely ever caught colds or other illnesses. I have a two year degree in Early Childhood Education and a BA in Elementary Education. I provide a structured preschool program that will get your child ready for kindergarten and offer tutoring for school age children. In the preschool, children learn their ABCs, colors, shapes, calendar, how to write their names, site words, paint, cut and paste art projects and play with play-dough. I love reading books and allow the children to select which book they would like me to read. With a stack of books in hand, we all get cozy on the couch as I read their favorite books with animation and expression. The children grow to love story time at my childcare and learn a love for reading at a young age. As a family home childcare, I provide a nurturing, educational environment, with a focus on seeing your child develop to his or her full potential. I also have a large fenced yard with many activities to choose from. Please give me a call! I would love to have you over for an initial visit with your child.

We are a year-round licensed Christian childcare center. Our teachers are dedicated to early childhood education and follow lesson plans and daily schedules. We serve snacks at school and lunch comes from home. Our classrooms have a low teacher to child ratio (7 or 8 children and 1 teacher). Children practice social skills, learn what it means to be a good and kind friend and how to listen to directions. We talk about Jesus throughout the day, pray before we eat, sing songs, make lots of crafts, and listen to stories. Children who attend our preschool and Pre-K program are well prepared to enter Kindergarten. Call us if you are interested in a tour to meet the teachers and see the classrooms. Tour times generally take 30 minutes and are available between 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.

One of a kind, family feel professional childcare with small class ratios! Our unique Early Learning Center is a warm, nurturing environment where our first priority is for each child in our care to feel valued, and that we honor individual personalities and learning styles. Every morning from 9 - 11 30 am teachers lead an engaging morning preschool, including circle time, music, craft/project, sensory and more! Instead of traditional auditory learning we have a focus on kinesthetic learning, where children use all their senses, moving and touching everything as they learn! Our schedule supports social/emotional development and our Pre K graduates are more than prepared with math, reading and writing skills for their first year at kindergarten. The children have so much fun with our hands on science, music, nature, art, pe/gross motor skills, theater and much more! We keep constant and effective communication with parents. Take home notes share about child's day. Private childcare app, allows us to share photos and more so parents feel connected to their child throughout the day. Menus go home weekly, showing healthy balanced meals. Newsletters go home at the beginning of every month to share about upcoming learning themes, events and more!
