Kandi's Kids

My Name is Kandi. I'm 36 and a mother of 2. I have been doing in home care for 16 years. In high school my first job was at a daycare center and right after school I headed to DMACC for child development. So as you can see my life has been child care. I love my job and thank God everyday that I get to do what I was born to do.

The nitty gritty of my program:
Non - Smoking
I'm located near Grandview College.
My days and hours of operation are Monday - Friday 7:30am - 5:30pm.
I accept children from ages 6 weeks up to 12 years.
I am state certified as well as CPR and first aid trained.

I have both full and part time hours:
Full time is 5 days a week and the cost is $125.00 per week
Part time is 3 days a week and the cost is $80.00 per week
I do give a discount for families of 2 or more children.
Lunch and snacks provided

A little about how we spend our days: We are a family here, I feel toward each one of my daycare kids how I feel towards my own kids. I want each child to feel loved and cared for as much as possible while their parents are off to work. We enjoy doing loads of fun activities throughout the days. We have plenty of free time, but we also enjoy music time, arts and crafts, creative play, outside time and other activities. We also get out and about some, we like checking out some of the fun parks around Des Moines, sometimes we run errands, as well as we have fun doing some field trips, such as the farm, pumpkin patch, etc.

I would love to meet you and your child/children and see if we would be a good fit for each other. With a few of my munchkins starting school this year I will have some openings at the end of August. Please give me a call and we can set up a time to meet.
