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 provide a caring, supportive in-home setting where your infant or toddler will thrive in a very small group. I'm committed to having no more than 3 children in my care so that I'm able to provide lots of individualized attention, comfort & support to each one. I find it incredibly rewarding to help babies & young kids learn new skills and behaviors. In my down time I read books, articles, & other research about childhood development to make sure I'm doing all I can to help them grow into the best little people they can be. My daughter is a joy to be around--very alert, high-energy...& maybe bit headstrong(!), so I've also learned different techniques to help keep her happy, engaged, & well-mannered. I'm so proud of the little girl she's turning out to be, & it excites me to help other little ones along their journey as well. As a child, I spent many years attending an in-home daycare run by an amazing caregiver who felt like family to me, & that's the same care I hope to provide for others. After spending 15 years in a fast-paced, high energy professional position, I'm taking time off to stay home with my daughter, who's just under 2 years old. I'm passionate about caring for children of all ages; I've worked with children in some capacity for the past 20 years. I'm the oldest of 4, the youngest of whom is 20 years my junior, & I was a nanny for a family with 4 kids (ages 2 mos-12 yrs) for 5+ years, providing daily & some overnight care. I also provided babysitting care to several families throughout high school & college (ages 2-8), & in adulthood, I've always been the first to offer care to my friends who need help with their kids--I'll find any excuse to spend time with little ones! I use redirection & positive reinforcement as my disciplinary tactics, I'm skilled at getting infants & toddlers on consistent schedules, and I also have extensive experience with supportive sleep training (not ever cry-it-out). I live in a fantastic neighborhood with its own park, as well as a nearby library & walking trail; I spend a lot of time reading with the kids throughout the day, playing with educational and age-appropriate toys, and we also visit the Denver Zoo & the Museum of Nature and Science frequently. As a consideration to those with allergies or sensitivities, I have 2 dogs who are outside during the day, and 2 cats who stay inside. All four animals get along very well with kids of all ages. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile!

Mission The mission of Smarty Pants Academy is to provide high quality early care, education, and out of school programming to children ages 2 1/2 years through age 13. To facilitate our mission, we implement an on-going cyclical quality improvement plan. This is a process which is used to identify a program’s strengths and opportunities for improvement and is a key part of high-quality early learning and care programs and services. Continuous quality improvement is a process which ensures that an organization and its partners are systematic and intentional about improving services and practices and increasing positive outcomes for families and their children. This process is valued and used here at Smarty Pants Academy. A hard copy of our Quality Improvement Plan is available for viewing. It is located in the Director’s office and can be requested at any time. We can also provide you with a hard or emailed copy of the Plan. Our Philosophy Our philosophy is that a truly high-quality Center provides excellent early care, education, a high level of health and safety, as well as opportunities for parent education and involvement. Warm, supportive, and respectful relationships between adults and children lie at the heart of an effective partnership between parent and school. We believe that early care and education (ECE) centers can and must be the place where children, parents and caregivers, and teachers alike can feel a sense of belonging and safety. These are the key values of our program. The center does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, hiring and firing of staff, selection of volunteers and vendors, and provision of services. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, clients, volunteers, subcontractors, vendors, and clients. The center is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate and will take affirmative action measures to ensure against discrimination in employment, recruitment, advertisements for employment, compensation, termination, upgrading, promotions, and other conditions of employment against any employee or job applicant on the bases of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Denver, CO

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Denver, CO. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Denver, CO for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Denver, CO, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Denver, CO.

When looking for a preschool near you in Denver, CO on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools. Be sure to check any reviews from other families in Denver, CO who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
