About Us

Mission Statement

Children are encouraged by Mrs. Linda to apply critical thinking and problem-solving techniques in their everyday activities. We provide a child-centered curriculum with a strong emphasis on social emotional learning and conflict resolution. The setting of the classroom is purposefully created to reflect the interests of the students and to foster interdependence, independence, and a positive sense of self. We think that kids pick up knowledge best through play and being given lots of chances to see the world in different ways.

Bio & Background

Before I became a child care provider and educator almost twenty years ago, I was an area sales manager for a large department store. Ready for a change and looking for a more meaningful career, I decided to pursue a career as an educator in the child care field. I had always enjoyed being around children, and I wanted a child of my own as well. So, in November of 2002, I was first issued my Family Child Care Provider License, and I opened my own family child care business. During those early years, I also worked part-time as an on-call substitute assistant teacher in various public, private, group, and family child care programs and preschools. I learned so much from those years of experience, and I realized how much I enjoy teaching children. I found that what I liked best about my job and working with children was seeing how much children, even at a very young age, thirst for knowledge, are eager to learn, and truly enjoy learning.
