My Story
About Me
As a current teacher at a part-time preschool located in Mint Hill I saw a need for families of younger children who may still need care past that 1pm mark and/or need trusted care for when your Preschool or daycare program may be closed. So, the idea was born to combine my profession and passion together to form Ms. Candace's Child Care.
My life has revolved around children and helping people for as long as I can remember. I started as a nursery aide in our church located west of Asheville, moved to become a Sunday school teacher, a babysitter throughout my teenage years, I pursued a career goal in high school and became a registered CNA before graduating, and landed a job during my college years as a TK teacher in Tennessee. Upon returning to NC and moving to Charlotte I worked at a local 24hr veterinary hospital for many years where I met my husband. After having our first child I decided to become a stay at home mom. I have been a nanny to several children since and currently went back to doing what I love best and that is teaching. I have been at my current job for 3 years and absolutely love it. I am CPR/First Aid certified and continually take training courses to stay update in the world of early childhood education.
I am currently married to my wonderful and very supportive husband and we have three boys one of whom is three. So, please believe me that I'm in the thick of this age group right along with you. 😊
My teaching philosophy is to have fun through hands on experiences. I believe that play based learning is a wonderful thing. Children need to be able to explore their environment to be able to soak up all the knowledge we're passing their way at such a young age. I love the fact that their learning without even realizing that they are. I want to insure a lifelong love of learning.
I am looking forward to working with you and your families as I start this new adventure.
