About the Provider

Description:

If you're looking for quality in home daycare and preschool or before & after school environment, and a safe environment for your child we are there for you. Our hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. We offer a lot of one on one and a loving home and care for your child. I have a large building separate from the home for all our preschool activities and art projects, music, story time, along with circle time, reading, games, and play time dramatic play. For school age children we do all their homework that is due after school so there is more time in the evening to spend family time with them. We have a very large yard fully fenced with a sandbox, a big toy, and many toys for all ages. We do seasonal field trips as well. I am state licensed and my staff and I are always current CPR/First Aid HIV training, background check, Tb tested food handler’s card and STARS training yearly. All meals for the children are included with care along with preschool program as well. We will teach your child what they need to know before entering kindergarten in the White River and Sumner School District. I have many references available for you to check on as well. I have many years experience with children and love what I do. I am a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 5. I have worked with the school district and teachers to keep current on the school curriculum so a child is more prepared when entering kindergarten. Am centrally located between Buckley and BonneyLake this is great easy access to the main roads for your work commute as well. For more information please call (253)709-4427 or email me at MyFirstStepPreschoolDaycare@yahoo.com

This is the very best home daycare and preschool in the area. It is small enough that JeriLyn is able to truly devote her time and efforts to each child. My grandson loves her and can't wait to go to school every day. Her facility is exceptional. I truly can't say enough good things about her! I highly recommend her.

My sons attended this daycare for a few years when we lived in the area and they still miss Ms.JeriLyn and her staff. They are now in there teens and still talk about going there. I recommend her and her daycare and preschool to anyone. She loves her children as if they were hers. I was so comfortable leaving my children with her. Since leaving the area and having to have my children elsewhere they were never happy and always wanted to go back to her. But we moved to far away to take them. She taught both my boys what was needed before going into kindergarten. They didn't struggle at all. She definitely has a great safe and fun environment for all ages of children.
