About Me:
Hello parents! I'm the owner and primary caregiver of Riggs Park Kids Playhouse. I bring over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, along with a strong academic background. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential, reflecting my dedication to nurturing young children and supporting families during these vital early years.
My passion for child care began with my mother, an educator who spent over 19 years working in early childhood. Her love for teaching inspired me to follow in her footsteps and open this second location together. We've built a warm, supportive community with the families we’ve served, and we’re excited to welcome even more families to grow with us!
Philosophy:
At Riggs Park Kids Playhouse, we believe early childhood is a critical period for laying the foundation for lifelong learning. In our nurturing home daycare environment, children are encouraged to explore, learn, and express themselves freely and confidently.
Our values include trust, safety, inclusivity, connection, and community. These values are at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with families to celebrate each milestone and build strong, lasting relationships.
As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: to maintain the close-knit, family environment that makes our daycare feel like a second home. By partnering with parents, we create a welcoming and inspiring space where every child feels seen, respected, and empowered to thrive.
Curriculum:
Our bilingual program in English and Spanish offers a structured yet nurturing environment that promotes your child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. Led by certified educators and aligned with state guidelines, our curriculum ensures high-quality care and early education.
We foster early literacy, creativity, kindness, and an appreciation for diversity, all in a safe and inclusive space designed to support your child’s growth every day. Children engage in a balanced mix of play-based and structured learning, including:
• Story time
• Music and movement
• Hands-on learning activities
• Creative arts
• Social-emotional skill-building
