Mandi Stout- Owner/Director, Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education; Cum Laude, 10+ years of experience in Early Childhood Education, CPR certified (30+years)

Philosophy

As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for children where they can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially at their own pace. I believe that children learn through play and benefit from a structured, yet flexible schedule. Activities are offered which stimulate sensory motor development, language development and social interaction. The development of strong self-esteem is also a major goal of mine. Children will be taught to respect each other, adults, and property. Most importantly, I will give unconditional love. I adore children and I am blessed for parents/guardians to trust and believe in me to care for their loved ones.

Location

Safe and quiet neighborhood. School busses for Kokomo Center schools and Northwestern Schools stop before and after school.

About our program

We are a play-based program that believes children are thinkers and learn so much from the world around them. They will gain knowledge by hands on learning through the process of their own efforts. With purposeful play, they are encouraged to make choices and practice individual decision-making throughout their day. We use our environment to learn by play, being in nature and using all our senses. Children have so much to learn from the world around them.
