About Me
I am Julie West.
​
I love children! Children are precious “Little Jewels" that we are to cherish, love and respect! That is why it is my choice to be a childcare provider, and I have the education and experience to do just that.

I'd like you to expect only the best care for your child, with the love, security, comfort and lasting relationships that only a home environment can provide.
My Approach
As a mother myself, I understand the value of feeling confident about the care my child receives while I'm not with her. I have been a licensed child care provider since 1997, have a degree in "Early Childhood Education & Certificate in Child Development" and am a certified "Parent Educator of Positive Discipline". I am also an active member of the NAEYC, CAEYC, NAFCC and SMFCCA.
