I am eager to partner with parents to bring up children with a healthy sense of respect for themselves, others, and their environment. My goal is to create a childcare center where children feel safe, loved, and content.
Although I will always cater my program to the needs of the particular children in care, I am a highly creative person and love to help kids find their creative side through arts and crafts, drama, dance, stories, and songs. Daily outings also set my daycare apart from most daycare centers in my community.
