Welcome to "Little Discoveries Daycare" Hi, My name is Nikki. I am a licensed daycare provider in Richfield. I am on the Food Program, non-smoker, great references, CPR, First-Aid and SIDS, Shaken Baby certified. Hours/Days: I am open M-F from 7:00am to 4:30pm. Earlier/later hours available; will discuss at interview Location: I am conveniently located off of 494 and 12th Ave. Richfield, MN My house/yard: I have a very comfortable, child-friendly (and baby proofed) home. Lots of room to play, a big, grassed backyard, and lots of fun, educational toys. Healthy snacks, lots of home cooked goodies and meals, fresh fruits and veggies- but yet of course fishy crackers too! I offer " preschool curriculum" activities for children ages 2-5yrs. We do lots of "hands on" projects. We have a flexible-go w/the flow, yet consistent schedule with lots of room for ABC's & 123's, building, reading, singing, dancing, making forts, dressing up, arts & crafts, water play, bubbles, lots of walks, picking up leaves and catching ladybugs! I don't believe in kids just running wild, and I also don't believe in little robots so I try to give the best happy medium possible. I teach good manners, patience, sharing & kindness, helpfulness, respect and responsibility... I help steer children in the way of making their own good choices & accepting the natural consequences of their actions. I believe children learn so much just through the simple aspects of everyday life then you throw in a few neat learning tools & room to be themselves --- & voila= GREAT KIDS! .. A super fun loving environment..where the children in my care quickly become like family to myself and my child. I truly pride myself on that.
