About

When I moved to Maricopa about 3 and half years ago from Phoenix, I had to withdraw my daughter from the in-home preschool she attended which broke my heart as she was able to grow and learn so much there. I decided that with my passion for working with children (I am also slowly working to complete my education degree), that I wanted to create the same type of preschool/childcare here in Maricopa. I live in the Senita subdivision my husband and our 3 children. We have a spacious, clean, smoke-free, drug-free, pool-free, child proofed (covers on electrical outlets, latches on cabinets, furniture wall mounted so it cannot topple over, etc) home. I have converted the large extra room into a wonderful playroom/preschool classroom. I have no issues with drug screenings or background checks. I know First Aid, CPR and the Heimlich. I have years of experience with childcare, on top of being a mother myself, which also includes some experience with certain special needs (Autism, Tourette's Syndrome, OCD and Speech Delay).

I don't allow my children to play video games or sit in front of the TV all day, and I wouldn't allow yours either. We would instead be doing many fun activities that all ages would enjoy such as:

Arts & Crafts
Science Projects
ABC's & 123's, Shapes, Colors, etc.
Concepts
Opposites & Rhymes
Calendar Time (The Date, Months, Days of the Week, Seasons)
Story Time
Nap time (as needed)
Outdoor play and as summer approaches, water play in the sprinklers and at the local splash pads
Baking
Weekly Trip to the local Library
Movie Day
Trips to the nearby park/playground
Field trips to the Phoenix Zoo and family friendly museums (parents permitting)
And of course plenty of free play to promote creativity

Your children would be able to bring home what it is they have been working on to proudly show you what it is they are learning.

*I do require that children are potty trained when they start with my class.

If you are needing full-time, part-time or after school care, please feel free to email me or contact me. I would love to meet with you and go over the details of what you are looking for, answer any questions you may have and allow you to see my home so you can feel confident that your children will be well taken care of.

Thank You!
