We only take ages 3 and up. Children must be potty trained. Some of our current preschoolers are graduating and we are looking for replacements for these students for this summer and the fall. All meals and snacks provided as we are on the Heartland food program.

Shalaine Goy, our head teacher was an Early Childhood Education/Human Development major and started working at preschools back in 1993. She has been working with children teaching ski school, swim lessons, second grade as well as preschool at Cornerstone Christian School and did her practicum units in various other preschools. She stopped teaching preschool in 2003 and opened a children’s portrait art studio. She later realized that teaching the same children in an intimate setting on a day to day basis was her real life passion. She has thus returned to home daycare for preschool aged children as nothing makes her happier than teaching preschool. It is our long -term goal to open up a small Christian Waldorf/Montessori style daycare center in a commercially zoned area. We first want to make sure that we have a quality staff and everything in place to implement our teaching philosophy and mission statement. Children receiving consistent individual attention and motherly personalized care are our number one concern. At this time, the best way for us to guarantee that each child receives what they need is to operate our preschool program in our own home.
Note- we are not a licensed state preschool in N.D. Shalaine's early childhood education and practicum units were all done back when she lived in C.A.
* Note- we only blow up our 7 capacity indoor bouncy house( as shown in photo) in the winter.
Summer time is for back yard play, green time and outdoor exploration to parks etc..
In the winter we go to library, bowling, swim lessons and Itty Bitty sports at YMCA and indoor ice skating lessons at VFW, gymnastics lessons.
CPR/1st aid certified.
HEALTH AND WELL- BEING OF THE ENTIRE CHILD IS OUR PRIMARY GOAL:
We have taken many nutrition classes and are able to keep our preschool students healthy by feeding them good “Growing food" rather than the traditional processed kid foods. We gradually transition children from white pasta and white rice to whole grain brown rice, wheat pasta, and fresh vegatables. We have many tricks to get children use to vegatables such as grinding them up and sneaking them in our sauces or putting them into our " Shrek drinks"- spinache and fruit smoothies, carrot and fruit smoothies, etc... . The result is healthier and happier children so less germs get spread.
