Philosophy

At my child care, I love for my student’s to feel loved, confident and happy. This starts with a relationship with parents as it is the foundation of childcare. I love for children to learn and grow. I make sure that children in my care utilize their strengths and find what they love and their learning styles to grow into young people they are meant to be. I follow a curriculum to help prepare students of learning and I track their growth and progress. Also, I provide a loving Christian environment.
