Auntie Karen goes beyond traditional childcare by creating a beautiful space where children are free to explore, learn, and grow with minimal interruptions.
Need more information?
Are you licensed?
Yes, I am licensed by the State of Colorado as a Family In-home Childcare Home. I am currently licensed for 6 children at a time.
Do you have faith based learning?
Auntie Karen's House is not a faith based learning program at this time.
What makes this different from other programs?
This nature‑based preschool isn’t just another childcare program — it’s a living, breathing extension of who I am and what I want to offer children, including my own. Shaped by my Colorado roots, a decade in Hawai‘i, and my commitment to whole‑child care. This is the village you didn't know you needed.
What ages do you accept?
Specializing in children ages 2–5.
We know childcare can be hard to find—if space is available and your little one is under 2, please reach out so we can explore whether Auntie Karen's would be a place for them.
What curriculum do you use?
I have been homeschooling my children for almost 8 years - I have learned to use ALL THE CURRICULUMS! Depending on the subject, I use a variety of curriculum. Kiddos learn the best when playing - it might look like 'play' during school hours but they are practicing their social skills, problem solving skills and other important milestone developments to prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.
Experiencing learning challenges in our own family, the last 2 years I have used All About Reading for the phonics awareness and reading readiness. It has been the best reading program, I use it daily.
How do I schedule a tour?
Late afternoons we offer time for new families to tour the home. I do not offer tours during hours when children are present.
How do I enroll?
Aloha! It starts with a tour!
