About Me
I am the proud mother of three school-age children and one funny preschooler.. I left the West Coast and moved to Omaha thirteen years ago and now I can say that in my heart this is home. Late in the evening you can catch me surfing the web to find new and interesting ideas to bring to our children.  Sometimes I will sell a knick or a knack on Craigslist to raise funds for our next big toy or outing.

 I have had a few different occupations over the years, most relating to children, and this by far is my favorite.  I enjoy helping children explore their world and watching as they learn to achieve their personal best.  The uncontrollable laughter when they catch a fit of the giggles, or the beaming ear-to-ear grin when they are bursting with pride at a new skill; nothing beats it!


Philosophy
I believe that when children are offered opportunities that it is in their nature to grab them!  I know that it is important for me as a parent, and as a childcare provider, to offer children opportunities to play, laugh, discover and learn. 


Experience
I have provided Title XX childcare in my home since 2001.  Prior to that, I worked with children of homeless parents and developed a tutorial program for them to remain at pace in school.  I am a State licensed Child Care Home I.  Being licensed means that I am also certified infant-pediatric CPR/First Aid.  I complete, and consistently exceed, the required hours of training each year. I receive regular nutritional training through the USDA food program.  And I have received Type 1 diabetes training through Children's Hospital and am able to provide comprehensive care for diabetic children in conjunction with their parents and physicians. 


Early Learning Program
For children 2yrs -6yrs old, I offer weekly themes that we explore.  Little ones under 24 months old receive plenty of caring and guidance through this new world that they are discovering. We go on many outings to reinforce our learning and to just plain have fun! Each family is offered a bi-monthly free Parent's Night Out or a Child Free Saturday afternoon. You may read much more about my program on my website.


Policies
All families must submit completed enrollment forms, a current immunization record for each child, and  tuition fees prior to attending. All policies will be offered during interviews


Additional Information
I am a member of many organizations so that I may offer their benefits to our children. These include Henry Doorly Zoo, the Omaha Children's Museum, Midwest Childcare Assoc.,  N.A.F.C.C., NAEYC, and of course ChildCare Share. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if my family is the match that your family has been looking for
