Giggle Garden Family Care was birthed out of owner Diana's frustration with her experiences as a mother and an elementary school teacher and a conviction that we can and absolutely must do better for our children. My purpose was three-fold; to serve local families in a practical and meaningful way, to be able to be fully present for my own children during their formative years, and to create a sort of learning lab for myself, where I could understand in a deeper way how children learn and what they need in order to thrive in all aspects of their development.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Shawnee, KS

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Shawnee, KS. 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.

You can also check your options in Shawnee, KS for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Shawnee, KS, 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 Shawnee, KS.
