My name is Dana Garza and have been the owner/operator of Country Kids Christian Learning Academy since 1997. I started my childcare as a way to stay home with my children but quickly fell in love with teaching preschool skills and changed to a preschool/daycare style.
I believe children should be able to learn not only with teacher lead style but also through play; especially outdoor play. I am always on the lookout for things to add to our outdoor play area that encourages exploration of nature along with incorporating nature into play time.
I am CPR/First Aid Certified and have a current Food Handlers Card. I am required to have 8 hours of training every two years but strive to take more trainings. The reasoning for taking more is I believe in continuous learning and can take something from each training to implement into my program.
