Welcome!
My name is Jean Dommer and I’m proud to share I’ve been doing family childcare for 35 years now.
With what started as a way to stay home with my own children, has blossomed through the years into my career.
Being a family child care provider gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
It’s a continuing journey that’s ever changing, day in and day out I strive to meet and fulfill the needs of each child under my care. I love being with children and nurturing them through their young lives into caring, confident, skilled, and independent little people.
The environment I offer in my program helps to set a foundation for the children to learn, excel, and achieve in these areas.
Together we are a team in support of one another.
Along with my years of experience, I’m also involved with with the community as an active volunteer with Dakota County Family Childcare Association. I served as a board member and currently mentor other providers and assist the association with various other roles.
In 2011 I was honored to be presented with the Provider of the Year Award from Dakota County.
I strive to build strong relationships with the children and their families in my program. I also place emphasis on creating a respectful, caring environment for and between the children.
Social skills are continually being learned here.
My role with the children is to provide opportunities to learn and grow. I provide a wide range of hands-on, interactive and creative learning opportunities to help bring out and satisfy each child’s individual nature.
I offer a safe and nurturing environment with developmentally appropriate materials and a routine that allows flexibility. I have used Funshine Express curriculum for a dozen years in my program and love the fact that I can adjust each learning moment to the different levels of learning for each child in my care.
I start out guiding them and move toward independence.
