My name is Dawn… I have 3 grown children and three beautiful grandsons. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls where my Mother operated an in-home daycare from my earliest recollection, up until I graduated from high school. Following in my Mother’s footsteps, I operated an in-home daycare for 6 years. A job transfer found my husband and our young family in Fort Worth, Texas. While we lived in Fort Worth, I held a teaching position with the Tarrant County Head Start program; working with children from infancy to 4 years of age.
Eight years ago, I came back home to Sioux Falls, where I worked as an assistant, but kept feeling that “tug” that I was to do something else with my life. I realized what gives me the most pleasure in life, is being with my grandsons. I decided to leave the corporate world and once again operate my own in-home daycare. I enjoy watching each child grow and learn while in my care.
In my spare time, I enjoy working on the computer, sewing, cooking, baking (a must when you’re a Grandmother) and watching some favorite television shows.
