Our Teachers

Malinda Houdek (Director) has been in the Childcare field for the past 4.5 years.

I started out as a Lead Toddler Teacher at a Childcare facility, then moved into the role of Assistant Director before moving on to my own Family Home Childcare.

I am always furthering my education by attending trainings regularly throughout the year and partnering with other agencies to provide quality care.

I am apart of the Elevated Providers Network which provides me with a mentor to coach me on ways to better my program.

I am certified in the State of Nebraska in Safe Kids Transportation.

Philosophy

I believe a child’s early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be treated and respected as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, question, and imagination. I respect each child’s need for love, security, acceptance, warmth, and stimulation.
