The core of Montessori is the foundation for a child’s inner quest for learning that requires time, attention, enthusiasm and patience. Our rich classroom environment facilitates the independent learning of skills moving from the concrete to abstract learning process. The Montessori environment is arranged to give children freedom to move around the room and there is no limit to how long a child can work with a piece of material.
To provide an environment that enhances the child's developing skills to become self motivated learners, respect their innate goodness and their responsibility as caring global citizens.
Our enthusiastic staff is dedicated to providing a happy and safe environment designed to bring out the best in your child. We provide Educational and fun field trips for the children to participate, and parents are welcome to join us.

Caterpillar Fun House is a fully licensed Child Care Center that I opened to offer quality child care so parents can to work relaxed knowing that their children are happy and safe. It is my goal to make sure your children are happy and comfortable in my facility by providing the best care and nurturing environment I can.
My University education and past experiences are both geared to understanding and dealing with children. I have a BA, B.Ed Degree. I have completed my Montessori Diploma and ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education). I also have a valid First aid certificate. I graduated from the North American Montessori Center (NAMC) Preschool/Kindergarten Diploma in May 2005. Although I gave up full- time work to raise my family, I regularly volunteered at the local Montessori school. As a full time mother of two young children my love for teaching gave me the drive to complete my Montessori Diploma. Later I completed my ECCE Diploma (Early Childhood Care and Education) in 2006. In 2008, I also became a certified tutor for Fun Family Phonics-A ready to Read Program which I apply for my Language program. I am also a certified infant toddler educator.
Children are the most precious resource and working with them can be very rewarding. To be successful and be content in this field one must have genuine love and concern for their well being and development and has plenty of patience. As a mother and as a teacher I think I have that quality in me. With your support, I can make a successful contribution to the society and in the lives of young children.
Caterpillar Fun House will provide an age appropriate learning environment, tools and opportunities for each child to build their self confidence and self esteem. Program will offer experiences for them to utilize their own strengths and to develop at their own pace in a non-competitive environment.
At Caterpillar Fun House, we make sure that every child is involved in stimulating activities and make sure they have fun every day. Children learn best when they are having fun!
