Jenna Douglas, Owner
I am a dedicated childcare provider with a passion for creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can grow and thrive. As a Child Development Associate (CDA) credentialed professional and CPR/First Aid certified caregiver, I combine formal training with a heartfelt commitment to each child’s individual needs.
My approach goes beyond meeting basic care requirements — I focus on nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and supporting developmental milestones through age-appropriate learning experiences. With a strong belief that children flourish in a family-like setting, I strive to make Our Family Childcare feel like a second home.
Every child in my care is treated with patience, respect, and love — because I know that the earliest years form the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Philosophy
At Our Family Childcare, we believe that children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships. While we provide a structured daily routine, our program is designed to feel warm and flexible — a home away from home where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
Curriculum Focus: We use a play-based preschool curriculum that incorporates early literacy, math readiness, art, music, and hands-on activities. Learning goals are introduced through fun, age-appropriate experiences, helping children develop curiosity, independence, and problem-solving skills.
Our Program Values:
• Safety and Trust – Every child deserves to feel secure, both physically and emotionally.
• Individual Growth – We meet children at their developmental stage and support them as they grow at their own pace.
• Family Partnership – Open communication with parents ensures consistency between home and childcare.
• Loving Guidance – Positive behavior is encouraged through respect, patience, and gentle teaching rather than punishment.
• Prepared for the Future – Children leave our program confident, kind, and ready for preschool or kindergarten.In short, we provide structured learning with a loving touch — a balance between guided lessons and plenty of time to play, discover, and be a kid.
Location
Our Family Childcare is located in a peaceful, family-centered neighborhood in Fruitport Township—part of the Fruitport School District—surrounded by parks, playgrounds, and welcoming neighbors. We’re only a short drive from Lake Michigan’s Pere Marquette Beach, where kids love spending time exploring nature, riding bikes, or playing in the sand. We’re also close to Muskegon’s downtown district, offering easy access to community events, the farmers’ market, and MATS public buses or the convenient on-demand Go2 transit. It’s a perfect mix of safety, accessibility, and enriching opportunities for your child’s daily life.
