Visit our website for more info.As the owner of Kiddie University, I worked as a daycare assistant for two years and, after the birth of my youngest child, decided to stay home more. That's when I began my own family day home in 2010, in Goochland County. The family day home was a success and led to my desire to focus on milestones and childhood development. I started SMILE Development Center in 2013/2014, which has transitioned to Kiddie University, with a move to the Highland Springs area in 2016.Qualifications Include:Early Childhood Development 1 & 2CPR/First Aid/AED CertifiedPAT (Parents as Teachers) Model Certified Parent Educator 2013/2014Bachelors in PsychologyCertified Nurse AideMedication Aide and Medication Administration TrainingCounty of Henrico Zoning CompliantFamily Day Home Pre-Licensure Training and InspectionsVA Preservice Training for Child Care StaffWe're also active in many workshops and training, which focus on care and early development, to keep up with Continuing Education requirements, each year.We provide children with a nurturing environment and an educational curricula that will get them school-ready and allow them to socialize and have fun!
