Description: I have been a licensed childcare provider since July of 2008. The basement of our home is designed specifically for the daycare. I have a preschool program for the younger kids that we do throughout the school year. I adjust it according to age, so the 1-2-year-olds participate as well as the 3-5-year-olds. I live less than a half a block from Canyon Elementary. I take school-age kids before and after school and during the summer. I have truly found my calling in being a childcare provider and love my career. I love spending my days with children and having the opportunity to see them grow up together and form close friendships with each other.
