ABOUT THE PROVIDERS:

Megan: 



Megan has been an in-home childcare provider for three years. Prior to that, she was a nanny for multiple families. Megan teaches the preschool curriculum (Mother Goose Time) to the 3+ year olds in the daycare. In addition to operating the daycare, Megan attends college through Arizona State University Online and is studying Family and Human Development with a specialization in Child Development and a minor in Business. She values a combination of structured and child-led learning, and feels that it is important to encourage curiosity, exploration and problem solving in an atmosphere of warmth, affection and respect for each child.  



Colleen:



Colleen has been a childcare provider for 14 years. Prior to becoming a childcare provider, Colleen worked at the Department of Revenue for the State of Minnesota. Colleen originally made the decision to open up a small licensed home daycare because she wanted a work-from-home option in which she could stay home with her kids. It didn't take long for her to discover that it was her passion! Colleen considers herself to be a "grandma" type caregiver, and values offering a home-away-from-home type of daycare.



We are both very passionate about what we do and consider ourselves to be "home away from home" for the kids in our care!
