play is the basis for learning at Kids Are Us.&nbsp; I believe that play is essential and should be fun, exciting, spontaneous, hands-on, comforting and challenging.&nbsp; I will provide opportunities for children to discover, explore, create, investigate, solve problems and express ideas with others.&nbsp; I believe children are capable and resourceful.&nbsp; I will encourage and support children to find and explore their own interests.&nbsp; I will encourage children to make their own<br>decisions and choices and to be active problem solvers.&nbsp; I will work to empower children and promote individuality.&nbsp; I have created an environment that helps young children attain physical, cognitive, social, and emotional achievements, preparing them for the next step in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe, each child brings a history of life experience and cultural heritage.&nbsp; Partnerships between families and are essential to the growth and development of each individual child.&nbsp; I will strive to create and promote these strong partnerships with families and create a sense of community that is thoughtful, warm and compassionate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my hope that while children are enrolled at Kids Are Us, they are happy, healthy, and safe and involved every day.&nbsp; When they leave Kids Are Us, it is my hope that they have fond, fun memories, they are prepared for a productive adulthood and that they keep in touch with friends that were made and myself.&nbsp; I hope that I have given them the building blocks to become successful, productive adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsareusoshkosh.com\/about-us\">READ More<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABOUT KIDS ARE US<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quality home child care center for children ages 1 week to 12 yrs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>38+ years of experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I have an Associates Degree in Child Care and Development from Fox Valley Technical College 2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I have a BA in Early Care and Education Emphasis-Leadership from UW Whitewater 2021<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infant, Child and Adult CPR certified and kept current, AED certified and kept<br>current, First Aid certified also Trained in SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome prevention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I have the following credentials Child Care Administrator\u2019s \u2013 Fox Valley Technical College<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leadership, Family Child Care,&nbsp;
