My name is Cindy and I am a State LICENSED childcare provider. I have been licensed for fifteen years. I truly love my job and I take it very seriously. I currently have one under two opening and one over two opening due to a family that I have had for four years moving down south. My hours are Monday through Friday from 6:30am until 5:30pm. I am minutes from both I-25 and the Boulder Turnpike, (Hwy 36) so getting to and from work is a breeze from my house! I belong to the state food program so you know your child is eating well balanced and nutritious meals and snacks which is included in your rate. I do a color system for behavior so your child wants to behave! I use a 'caught caring' system also where your child is put on a "TOP COLOR" for helping a friend or showing caring, thoughtful behavior. I have a large indoor and outdoor area just for childcare! We, three days a week, do a program on physical development and the other two days a week do a program on 'getting ready for kindergarten'. I am HUGE into reading and have a wide, ever changing availability to books. Reading is a part of our everyday. We have daily 'circle time' where we talk about family and our evenings at home and our plans for the weekend. I play music often and make sure to include all kinds. I have a ton of references from current and past parents. Please call me and set up an interview I'd love to meet you and your family. Please take the time to find a really good provider, your children will thank you for it! My rate is $175 a week, a one week deposit is required at enrollment. I am sorry however at this time do NOT have any CCAP or part time availability. Also I am a provider that doesn't offer transportation, so your children will not be able to be transported to and from school OR participate in field trips. I didn't want the liability of trusting my driving or the driving of others when it comes to the safety of your children even though my driving record is perfect. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

I have been a licensed family child care provider and owner of Miss Carrie's Child Care since 2000. My mission statement is "To make a difference in the world through the lives of children with love and education." I believe that if every child has love and education in their lives, they can achieve anything. I believe educators and families work as a team to raise a happy, healthy child. All children are special and have great possibilities. They thrive in an environment where they are loved, protected, stimulated, given responsibilities, and guidelines/rules to follow. Children are unique and learn in diverse ways. I work hard to recognize this, meet children where they are, and help them to reach new heights. I believe in a play-based curriculum, helping children develop socially and emotionally, and preparing for them kindergarten and the future. I currently have an Experienced Child Care license, a level 4 Colorado Shines rating, a level 6 Colorado Early Childhood Professional Credential, an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, and am director and lead-teacher qualified. As well as loving to educate and care for young children, I love to learn! I am always actively looking for and completing new education as well as looking for ways to improve my program and quality of care I provide. I provide full-time, part-time, and drop-in care from 3 months to 5 years. Drop-in care is based on current availability and only provided for families who are currently enrolled in my program (must interview, be accepted into my program, and have all required paperwork on file). I provide a professionally designed preschool program that is aligned with Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines, parent-teacher conferences, child assessments, well balanced and nutritious meals, a dedicated child care area, and huge outdoor play area where we spend a lot of time year-round. I serve on the board of directors for Jefferson County Child Care Assoc. and am a member of the Colorado Assoc. of Family Child Care, the National Assoc. of Family Child Care, and Kids Nutrition Company food program. I also participate in the Triad Early Childhood Council as well as local collaborative and advisory boards related to early childhood education and health issues. I believe in being a professional in my field and helping others in the process. Contact me for more information or to interview.
