About Me

I have been married for 13 years and have two children ages 12 and 9.  I have been a child care provider for almost 8 years and I also have over 20 years of babysitting experience.  I enjoy watching and participating in sports with my family. 

My Philosophy

As a family child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace.  I offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual.  I believe play is a very important learning tool for children.  MINDY’S LIL’ MUNCHKINS is centered on play and the natural curiosity and energy of young children.  I strive to provide children with a loving environment where they can learn to socialize through play and having lots of fun.  It is my privilege to help the children learn life skills such as manners, honesty, sharing, kindness, friendship and respect.

My Experience/Training/History

I have cared for the children of family and friends for over 20 years and have been licensed through the State of Nebraska since March of 2003.  I am CPR and First Aid certified and every year I take over 12 hours of early childhood classes.  I also have an Associate’s Degree in Business.

Early Learning Program

Children are exposed to many kinds of learning experiences including; story and listening adventures, music and finger play, numbers and counting, letter, shape and color recognition, puzzles and educational games, arts and crafts, and social development.  

I currently offer a wonderful preschool program for ages 3 and up.  My Mom, “Grandma Stone”, teaches 3 mornings a week.  She loves children as much as I do and she enjoys searching the internet and magazines for fresh ideas to keep the children interested in learning.  My own two children enjoy helping with projects and games when not in school.  They also help me come up with new ideas to share with the children that they may have learned in school.

Additional Information

I am licensed through the State of Nebraska and receive an unannounced visit a minimum of one time a year.  To meet nutritional guidelines, I am a member of Midwest Child Care Association and receive 4 visits a year from my area representative.  I also am a proud member of Childcare Share Resource and Support Group which meets once a month.
