The Childcare Provider
Although I'm not their mother, I care for them each day.
I cuddle, sing, and read to them, and watch them as they play.
I see each new accomplishment, and help them grow and learn,
I understand their language, and I listen with concern.
They come to me for comfort, and I kiss away their tears.
They proudly show their work to me, I give the loudest cheers!
No, I am not their mother, but my role is just as strong.
I nurture them and keep them safe, though maybe not for long.
I know someday the time may come, when we will have to part,
But I know each child I've cared for is forever in my heart!
Our daycare is unique in that we serve only natural and organic meals and snacks. We use only all natural cleaning products. We believe that limiting our exposure to harmful chemicals, additivities and toxins helps maintain good health and has less impacts on our environment. We also believe it is our responsibility to consider our impacts on the environment for future generations in everything we do.
We have a small group setting with two mothers working full-time and two part-time helpers. This gives your child lots of attention.
Hours Of Operation:
6:30am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday.
Please note that we moved our daycare to a new convienent location at 11911 Round Lake Blvd. The tour page still has our old location's pictures. We will be updating the pictures soon.
We are a family childcare provider licensed by Anoka County. We operate our day care home in compliance with the State Rules for Family Child Care. Our home meets all licensing, fire, health, and safety requirements. We are licensed to have a total of 14 children in our care. Of those 14, 10 may be under school aged and a combined total of no more than 4 shall be infants and toddlers. Of this total, no more than 3 shall be infants.
All families receive a monthly newsletter. You will also receive a daily report. In addition, a monthly newsletter is sent home to parents of preschool children listing the month’s preschool activities. Parents will also receive a daily note about their child’s day, including foods eaten, length of nap, etc. I do offer conferences with parents three times per year. You may also request an additional conference with me whenever you feel one is necessary.
