At Advance, we feel all children have individual worth and potential. We strongly believe that our diverse culture enriches our community and promotes acceptance and empathy. Because we believe each child is born with unique gifts, we daily encourage our students to achieve their highest potential. We focus on self-confidence, effort and determination as these are the first skills needed to develop a successful individual. We lovingly try to provide social, emotional and relational support as children need to feel safe before they can learn. We respect and believe that the family is the most important part of the child’s development. “You are your child’s first teacher” resonates within our environment. Our job is not to replace or challenge you, but to come along side you to learn how we can best support your family. A community benefits when people are willing to contribute to the well being of others. It is our goal to be a positive part of our community. We chose to contribute to our students and their families by providing an environment of respect and dignity. At Advance we feel that a quality education expands opportunities for growth and enhances life. As a director, I hope to encourage my staff to provide engaging and purposeful pathways to students academic growth. An Advance education means cultivating resourceful, resilient children through social emotional learning. I look forward to working and growing with you and your family. Kimberly Bianchini

If you are looking for a responsible, flexible, loving and fun child care provider, look no further. I love to spend time with the kids in my backyard, take walks in the neighborhood, and take trips to nature centers and the zoo. I am active and engaged with the children under my care, whether it is playing games, reading, making arts and crafts or singing (off-key) and dancing. Additionally, I am available for full-time or part-time child care, and do not require any time commitment. I can usually provide last minute drop-in or back-up care. I have been continuously certified in CPR and first aid for over 10 years. Although I have experience with children of all ages, I am not equipped to care for older children in my home. I typically watch one infant/toddler and one or two preschool aged children, but my clientele changes every few years as kids go off to preschool. Please note that I currently have only 1 opening and that preference will be given to a full-time infant. FAQ: Extra diapers, wipes, medications, and extra clothing may be stored at my home. Drop-ins are accepted on a case by case basis. Meals and snacks can be provided for a small fee. Naps and mealtimes vary based on current clientele. Generally I can work with the schedule you are using at home to provide consistency. I do not charge for cancellations. I do provide care for sick children on a case by case basis. Parents are expected to bring a change of clothes and appropriate outerwear for children. Bug spray and sunscreen will be used as necessary- parents may supply their own if they prefer.
