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.
Our program is built for children who can play independently for extended time.
Minimum age accepted for our program is 22 months.
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. Math we have used Saxon Mathematics.
How do I schedule a tour?
Late afternoons or Fridays we offer time for new families to tour the home. Tours are between 45-60 minutes.
**I do not offer tours during hours when enrolled children are present.
How is tuition paid?
Tuition is due monthly. 1st day of the month via Venmo, Cash or Check.
We do offer (1) sick day tuition free & (1) 1/2 tuition day for absences per semester. This is to accommodate families when children are too sick to send to school, or they have a long weekend together. All other absences during the semester - tuition is due in full or the family forfeits their spot in the program and it will be given to the next person on the waiting list.
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes! We offer 15% discount for the 2nd child attending the program.
How do I enroll?
Aloha! It starts with a tour!
