I opened my daycare in Starbuck, MN in May 1999.  I relocated my daycare to Alexandria in June 2000.  My child care program is a multi-age with a C-3 licence.  I have a semi-structured family child care environment that is smoke free and pet free.  My philosophy is children learn through play.  I offer nutritious meals and a preschool curriculum.  I am trained in CPR, First Aid, SIDS, Shaken Baby, car seats and many other contiuing education hours in child wellness.   I offer a monthly newsletter and Scholastic book club orders.   I follow a Boys Town approach for discipline using positive teaching rather than punishment of children.   I encourage children by recognizing their good behavior and teaching before problems occur.

I have three children.  Natalie and Colin attend St Mary's Catholic School and Emily gets to stay at home with mom.  My wonderful husband Joel, designed this website and LAPCCA really thanks him. 

I am a member of LAPCCA, MLFCCA.  I have recieved a fellowship from Child Care Works where I am learning to promote child advocay in the community, and  I am currently serving on the LAPCCA Board in a legistlative-technology position.  

I enjoy cooking, entertaining, reading, and camping with family and friends.  I also enjoy planning events and learning new things.

I have been doing licensed childcare since 1991 and have a C-3 license.  I am trained in CPR/First Aid, Sids, Shaken Baby and numerous other child related topics.  I have also completed the Right From the Start program.  I participate in the Providers Choice food program and I am also a member of the Lakes Area Professional Child Care Association.
 
I have a smoke free semi-structured daycare where we work on letters, numbers, shapes and color recognition during play and learning time.  I teach sign language to infants and toddlers to help them learn early communication skills.  I also strive to teach the children about some other very important things in life such as compassion, patience, sharing, self help skills and getting along with others as well as having fun in the process.
 
My husband and I own a hobby farm on the edge of Osakis and the children have lots of room to play outside as well as in our unique playroom which has a loft for 3 year olds and up.

Skwira, Jill 

Jill Skwira's Childcare Program
Brandon, MN  320-260-5198

I became a licensed childcare provider in 2007 (receiving a class C-3
license).  Prior to beginning my childcare program I worked as a nanny for
over three years.  I also have some teaching experience as I am licensed to
teach in grades K-6 as well as in 5th-8th grade math classes.

My home is a safe and fun place for children to play, learn, and grow.  My
childcare program is semi-structured providing plenty of time for free play
as well as structured group activities.  My daily childcare routine includes
project time, outdoor play, storytime, and nap/quiet time in addition to
scheduled meals and snacks.  I usually have a weekly theme for the children.
Some of our past themes have included numbers, baseball week, the zoo, and
fall fun.  Each week we have projects and books related to the theme.
Sometimes even our songs, games, and snacks connect to the theme.  Parents
receive weekly newsletters on what's been happening at daycare.

My facility is very cute and unique with a mural painted on the walls throughout with a junge theme, the room is set up as it would be in a preschool with all of the learning areas marked for play.  We go outside on a regular basis (weather permitting). Mats or cribs are provided for your child at nap time.

My husband and I have two children ages three and almost a year. I've been licensed since May 2009. My Childcare facility is seperate from our home,we live in the middle of no where!
