Here at Children of the King, your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, which promote all aspects of development. Family childcare provides for children the comfort and experience of belonging to an extended family. My approach to childcare is child centered and child directed. Children are offered choices whenever possible. Your child will bring home a newsletter each month, which will give a brief overview of what we will be doing. There will be occasions that you might not visually see projects going home constantly but know that there is work constantly being done. We believe a child's early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be treated and respected as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, question, and imagination. We respect each child's need for love, security, acceptance, warmth, and stimulation.

April says "Both my children attended this daycare center. The level of professionalism was amazing. It was the perfect mix of scholastic and fun, all grounded in a...

Hello! I'm Whitney and I would love to spend the day caring for and teaching your children. I am a teacher who has chosen to stay at home with my twin girls. I would love to add a few more children to our daily routine of learning about the world around us. I have 4 years of experience teaching preschool children (7 years of teaching overall) and over 10 years of experience nannying. I love kids and enjoy helping them to grow and develop. In our home we spend a lot of time exploring and learning through play. Because of my experience I often find that our daily routine feels more like a classroom than a day care. It is my hope to provide the comfort and love of a home with the structure of a learning environment. I would love to talk with you more about your needs and we can work out a fair price together. I am willing to give a discount for more kids and be flexible with hours. I look forward to hearing from you.
