It had always been a dream of mine, to open my own daycare center, and when we found out that the owners of the house that we intended to buy, already ran a small daycare out of their basement, I knew that it was the house for me. As soon as we got settled in our new home, I became a lisenced child care provider. I am also Red Cross Certified in Infant/Child CPR and first aide.

Our entire Basement has been converted into the daycare center or my dreams! Every wall a different primary color, toys from floor to ceiling, a huge calendar board hanging on the wall so we can do circle time every day, and a seperate room, with a large round table, suitable for arts and crafts and eating our snacks and meals.

Each child is treated as though they are one of my own, (I have 2 girls, 6 and 3.)

During the school year I enroll in a preschool curriculum program "Funshine Express", which I am certified to teach. They send me daily craft ideas, worksheets, stories, calendar pieces, and other fun preschool activities. Each week has a different them just like any other preschool. We are currently on our summer break and the curriculum will be starting again in September. (Ask to see some examples of the curriculum if you are interested.)

I am now enrolling children ages 6 weeks, up to 12 years, (until the end of the summer.)
