Miss Maria (pronounced Mariah)
I started this family daycare when my kids were just little so I could stay at home and be with my kids. It really blossomed into great relationships for them and me over the years. Now my children are grown. One is out of the nest and the other is working towards independence as well.
My Vision:
To provide a safe, warm, loving and friendly environment for your child where they feel secure and comfortable, to encourage and support parents by providing information and referrals if needed, to guide your child in emotional, intellectual, social and physical growth, allowing them to be self-directed individuals.
Miss Andrea, Caregiver
Miss Andrea - Andrea has been with the daycare since March 2012. She has been an incredible addition to our facility with her kind and loving nature. She has had a great deal of experience with children and is also employed at Hillside Elementary as a lunch time monitor and crossing guard. She has been caring for children in her home for years; as well she is a mother of three children. I am very blessed that she has come here to assist me in caring for the children at Kinder Time.
Marissa, My First born...

Rissa - as most of the daycare kids call her.
My 24 year old daughter is a mini me. She enjoys spending time in the daycare and creating fun things for the children to do.
She has taken her Community care / EA course at Riverside College and is an exceptionally responsible young lady so she may also be helping me in times when she is not working. She has now almost graduated from the Vancouver School of Dental Hygiene so she may not be around here very much.

Miranda, My baby (but not so wee anymore)...

Randa - as most of the daycare kids call her.
My 22 year old year old daughter may not be a mini me but is so dear to me. She also enjoys seeing the kids in care daily and never hesitates to help out around the daycare. The one thing I cherish in her is her ability to get right down and play with the little ones. This young lady will always be a child at heart.
Mark, My Husband and Maintenance man...
Mr. Mark - my lucky husband Mark is only here before and after work. He is my go-to for all the maintenance issues around the daycare and for that I am so grateful.
"Attending a family daycare is a special experience for the kids and for our family. We watch your children grow up, reminding us of our children at such a wonderful age. Now that our kids are grown older we really cherish the younger years that pass so quickly. The daycare is more than just a family business - it is a long lasting relationship with families."
