A Nurturing Home for Your Child to Grow & Explore

Welcome to my in-home child care, where the heart of a family meets the expertise of an educator. My name is Stefanie, and I believe that the early years are the most critical for building a foundation of curiosity, confidence, and kindness.

My journey in child development spans nearly 20 years, and it is a field I am truly passionate about. This passion was deepened by my formal education—a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from North Dakota State University—and has been brought to life in the most beautiful way through my own family. I am a proud partner and mother to a vibrant three-year-old daughter, who is my greatest teacher and the inspiration behind creating a childcare environment that feels like a second home.

My Philosophy: The Whole Child in a Whole-Hearted Home

I take a holistic approach to childcare, nurturing not just minds, but also hearts, bodies, and creativity. Our days are filled with:

· Hands-On Learning: Inspired by my love for baking and cooking, children become little chefs, measuring, mixing, and discovering the science in our kitchen. We also explore all forms of art, from painting and music to imaginative play, encouraging self-expression.

· Nature & Curiosity: As a family that loves nature, we spend significant time outdoors. Whether it’s gardening, exploring a local park, or simply watching the clouds, we foster a deep connection with the natural world.

· A Family Atmosphere:. My family values cozy, meaningful time together most. This is the same warm, secure, and loving environment I offer your child—a place where they can feel completely at ease, seen, and valued.

While our grand travel adventures are dreams for the future, we find endless joy and discovery right here in our community. My greatest fulfillment comes from creating a beautiful, stimulating, and safe world for the children in my care.

I would be honored to partner with you in these foundational years. Let's connect to discuss how my family can help nurture yours.
