    About Us

    Mission Statement & Philosophy

    Hello! My name is Ms. Denise, owner and teacher/provider of Lakes Child Care.  I have over 28 years experience in early childhood education.  I currently hold 24 ECE units and over a two-hundred training hours in professional development directly related to child development.    


    As an early childhood educator, it is my goal to serve the children and families in our community and surrounding areas with high-quality child care and early learning opportunities. To provide an inclusive, safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and develop to their fullest potential. To prepare children for school and help them grow and learn in all areas of their development.


    We strive to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners. I believe children learn best by doing. Learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. The way this happens in early childhood is by playing games, using their imaginations, expressing their emotions, creating and exploring their environments. Their play is a balance of child-initiated learning and a teacher-directed approach by intentionally planning, organizing the classroom and setting up activities to meet the needs of individual students. We question and extend their thinking and play to help them learn and grow.
