Our Teachers

Hello, my name is Jennifer Baumann, and I’m one of the many licensed child care providers here in Chadron. I am a mother of three adult children and when they were young I chose to do childcare so I could be at home with my family. I loved the experience so much that over the years I decided to make it my profession, I have been a licensed provider since 1999, currently a Step 5 program with the Nebraska Step Up to Quality. In 2008 I obtained my CDA (Child Development Associate).

It is our goal to build a positive relationship between both of us to ensure the maximum growth and development of your child. Please feel free to call me and ask any questions that you may have. You and your family my visit my program at any time (once the initial tour and interview has taken place), and I encourage you to do so.

Warmly,

Jennifer Baumann

Philosophy

It is the philosophy of the daycare that the children should feel safe and enjoy their time here. I strive to make my house a second home to your children. I work to involve sharing, story time, songs, singing, dancing, crafts, art activities, outdoor play, celebrations of birthdays and holidays.
