Early Start Strong Finish Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Charlotte Bynes, the founder of Early Start Strong Finish Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have 30 years of experience working with young children.

I was born and raised in Louisiana and I have four siblings. I had the privilege to serve my country in the United States Naval Services, after which I moved to Colorado in December 1993. I loved the Rocky Mountains so much that I chose to make it my home for me and my family. I am very family orientated and cannot overstate the value of community. I am also a mom to 7 children, two of whom I have adopted, and I have ten beautiful grandchildren.

I started the Early Start Strong Finish family childcare/preschool September 2005. My other experiences working with children include working as a lead teacher for three years with the Head Start Program in Aurora, an assistant teacher for two years with children ages birth to 5 years and as a substitute teacher with Denver Public Schools for one year.

I received my bachelor’s degree at Metropolitan State College of Denver in Behavioral Science with a focus in Psychology and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I received my Master of Education and a Literacy Certification from Regis University in the fall of 2012.

Philosophy

At Early Start Strong Finish Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that engages children with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings.

Location

Early Start Strong Finish Wonderschool is located in a warm, spacious single family home in the Stapleton 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 nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts), sensory area (for spatial awareness and learning through the five senses), and block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving).

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At Early Start Strong Finish Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
