My name is Shae Graff, and I began my home-based child care in 2007. My decision to open a home child care was because I enjoy working with little ones and I wanted to be home with my own children.

I am licensed by the state of Colorado to be a family home child care provider. As a licensed family home child care provider, I am continually taking classes in early childhood so that I can provide your child with the tools and experiences they need to learn and develop. In 2012, my husband, Brad, joined my home child care as my partner.

In 2013, Brad became licensed by the state of Colorado as a home child care provider. He shares in the duties of caring for and teaching the children throughout each day. Brad also attends ongoing training in early childhood . Brad loves working with children and his training and experience have made him an asset to this home child care.

It is our number one priority to give your child the best care, to provide a safe and loving environment for your child, and to give you the best service.

We welcome your ideas and thoughts on all matters. We are here to work with you for your child's best interest. We strongly believe in the importance of children learning about God's love. We incorporate our faith in God in the books we read and the lessons we teach.

We also believe that children need to learn how to relate to others, to value friendship, and to respect all people. We work with you to help your child play and interact well with others and learn the skills necessary to develop self-discipline, and independence and to deal with their emotions appropriately.
