Melissa Pothen Family Child Care, Minneapolis

Located in Coon Rapids, off of Main Street and Highway 10, our local school is Crooked Lake. Your child will feel welcomed in my licensed home and will be treated just like one of my own children. You will have the comfort of leaving your child in my care as I am first aid and CPR certified. I am not currently Parent Aware Rated but DO use a Parent Aware Rated Curriculum (Totes of Fun). My 13 year old daughter is my helper and is here during school release days, and helps before and after school. She does have a background check has the required classes completed. You will find that my home has a HUGE backyard and we just finished a new playground in September. We are also in the process of putting up a new privacy fence, but our backyard is fully enclosed and gated. A lot of outdoor time is a high priority in my home. For those parents that worry about how their child is eating during childcare, I am on the Federal Food Program through Providers Choice. This means that I serve a well rounded meal plan and a copy of it is located on the Parent Wall. Daily updates are given through a professional education app and you will receive a ton of photos through out the week. You will have the confidence to know that I will keep you updated as much as possible, and if you need to, I am always available to answer any questions you may have. You provide the diaper and the wipes! I will provide the fun and love! Hours are: 7:00 am to 5:00 pm For more information about rates, please email me! Thank you!
