My name is Kristen Shoemaker and I have been a licensed in home daycare provider in Steamboat Springs, CO since 2005.
I am open from 8:15-5:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and from 7:30-5:30 Tuesday and Thursday.
My home is three stories and the lower level is specifically for my daycare with its own entrance, kitchen, eating area, bathrooms and play rooms.
I care for children 2 and 3 years old. I am currently licensed as an "Experienced Provider" which allows me to have up to 9 children each day.
The children and I travel to various places here in Steamboat Springs and I have an 8 passenger vehicle with the proper car seats for children of all ages, already provided for you. In the winter we attend gymnastics, the library and dance classes. In the summer we go to Strings summer concerts, the mountain promenade, ride the gondola, the pool, go on hikes and ride bikes as well as the numerous parks in the area.
