Location

Auntie Ruth’s Home Child Care & Wonderschool is located in a charming, spacious single family home in the Athmar Area and near Ruby Hill neighborhood.

We’ve designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include reading / cozy area (for literacy, relaxation, and respite), nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts), and dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy).

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.

At Auntie Ruth’s Child Care & Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment that supports the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child.

4. Enroll After reviewing your application, we’ll send an enrollment invitation. Here you set up a six digit pin, fill out all spaces on the enrollment forms or put n/a if not applicable all the way until it lets you SUBMIT. Unfinished or unanswered enrollment forms just sit there and say PENDING on my side. I CANNOT APPROVE pending applications, the system does not let me. Upon accepting your invitation, you will pay your enrollment fee ($150. yearly), a two-week payment up front that sits there until you give a Two-Week Notice (either written with dates or verbal) that your child will no longer attend care at my Center. Those last Two-Weeks were paid at the Beginning so your payment stops when you give your Two-Week Notice. Your child attends their last Two-Weeks with me. ONLY if needed: I will work with you on the Two-Week Payment, Don’t Hesitate to ask if you have a Payment Plan that will work for us both! Plus, a full month payment, is due on or before your child’s first day in care. Review our Parent Handbook and address any questions you may have with me. After All of this is set and Paid, your ready your first day at Auntie Ruth’s Child Care:)

NOTE: In order for me to HOLD an infant spot at a later date. You MUST pay a HOLD Deposit for that later date and you MUST have virtually or physically attended (both parents) a tour to meet me and see my place. The amount is discussed at the time you decide to place your HOLD FEE.
This HOLD FEE is not part or carried over for Tuition, it is only an Infant Hold Fee for a later start date. Call me at 720-298-7927 if you have further questions:) Thank you.
