Our goal is to create a home like Christian environment
​where the children in our care can grow and learn. 
 
 

​
Our licensed family home daycare is located in Lowell, Michigan. My home is organized, clean, and designed to make your child feel right at home, as well as encourage play. I have a living room filled with children's books that we read several times a day and a fun playroom with activities for children from infants to 5 years old. We also love to spend time and explore outdoors in our beautiful wooded yard. We have art supplies, many types of building blocks, a large play kitchen, dress up, animals, cars, puppets, infant toys, and much, much more! My home is set up for all ages of young children.

 

Our daily schedule is consistent and nurturing while being engaging and fun.  I allow the kids a lot of time for free play; this chance to just be a kid and have fun is crucial for healthy development! Every day the kids will also have activities that will help them learn about science, art, math, literacy, and God. We love doing art projects and have a lot of hands on play and learning activities.

My name is Ashley Stone, and I am so excited to be starting an in home daycare! I can't wait to hear more about you, but first I'll tell you a bit about me. 

I am married to my wonderful husband, Phil, and we have a daughter, Brielle, who was born March 1st, 2019. Phil is a nurse at Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital. My husband and I love hiking, trying new foods (we especially love sushi), board games and spending time with friends and family. We attend Ada Bible Church, and I am very active in small groups there.

​I have my bachelors degree in Elementary Education and Spanish from Aquinas College. I also attended GRCC for my Assosicates degree, where I focused on early childhood development. I have 5 years of experience teaching kindergarten Spanish Immersion. I have also worked at a couple daycare centers in Grand Rapids and as a nanny. I have over 15 years of experience working with kids. I have dreamed about having a child care in my home for years, and I love it even more than I thought I would. The chance to get to focus in on a small group of kids and help guide them to be the person God created them to be is such a blessing. 

​ I look forward to meeting you!
