Opening this business is a dream come true for me.

Ever since I can remember, I have dreamed of working with children. I spent much of my childhood babysitting for my parents' friends and much of my 20's babysitting for my friends. When I became pregnant with our first child, I decided to formalize my education to ensure I could make a difference in his life; to help me be the best mom I could be. I entered Montana State University with major in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Development. I stayed on this path for 4 years, part-time. When I became pregnant with our third child, I decided to rearrange my priorities because 1) I was missing out on tickle time with my kids due to my school work; and 2) I realized that being a teacher in the public school system was not for me.

I knew that I still wanted to teach, so I started a full-time daycare out of our home. The opportunity for this Childcare Center presented itself to me about a year ago, and I realized that I had found my niche! I have the opportunity to be surrounded by children of all ages, teach them some basic skills and still have my children with me as well.

It is my hope that you all take comfort in knowing that I have taken what I've learned over the years, from school and from personal experience, to create a healthy, nurturing, loving, safe place for your children to come to; a place that I would be comfortable bringing my own children to.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a small part of your children's lives. My staff and I look forward to meeting you all.
