MRS. AMANDA
Mrs. Amanda is a certified teacher in Utah and Arizona. Amanda attended SUU and studied elementary education. Amanda taught 2nd grade at a top charter school in the state of AZ. Upon returning to Cedar City, Amanda started managing ABCD Daycare to create a learning environment suited for early childhood development with fun, without screen time. Amanda enjoys the arts, baking and cooking, and backyard gardening. The children she has worked with have developed a love for learning and an interest in plants, animals, painting, building, baking, and singing.
OUR STORY
ABCD Daycare started with a simple goal: to create a childcare location we would want for our own child, a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel loved, supported, and excited to attend without the presence of screens and junk food.
The early years matter. They’re full of big feelings, big growth, and so many firsts, first friendships, first “I did it!” moments, and the first time a child realizes they can figure something out on their own. Attending daycare can be a scary first for parents and kids. We are excited to help you have a good experience, whether it's your first day away from your child or it’s their last day of daycare/preschool before going to elementary school.
At ABCD Daycare, our routine is balanced and intentional. We learn through play, we create with art and music, we move our bodies, we read stories, and we practice being kind, respectful little humans. We use The Good and The Beautiful curriculum to help build strong early learning foundations in a way that is engaging and age-appropriate.
Because we’re an in-home program, our days have a warm, personal feel, like a second home. We hope that when your child walks through the door, they feel safe to explore, brave enough to try, and proud of who they’re becoming.
