About Me
Hello Parents! I’m the owner and lead caregiver here. With over 10 years of hands-on experience and 7 years as a classroom teacher, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and MAT (Medication Administration Training).
I started Lakeview Kids Discovery House to create the kind of place I’d want for my own family: a secure, loving environment where children are respected and excited to learn. Watching my "little explorers" reach new milestones is the best part of my day!
Philosophy
We believe children thrive in a "home-away-from-home" atmosphere. Our philosophy focuses on:
🔹Individualized Attention: Respecting each child's unique pace.
🔹Early STEM Discovery: Hands-on activities that spark curiosity.
🔹Family Partnership: We value open communication and treat every family like part of our own.
Curriculum & Daily Activities
We use a play-based curriculum paired with Abeka reading materials (selected for literacy and completely non-religious).
Our daily routine balances structure with freedom:
🔹Fun Stuff: Music, circle time, arts and crafts, and outdoor exploration.
🔹Healthy Habits: Everyday hygiene (proper handwashing) and potty training support.
🔹Parent Support: We offer a private, comfortable space for nursing or breastfeeding mothers.
