My name is Michelle Dodgson and Happy Munchkins is my daycare and my mission.  I have my Certificate for the Good Beginnings Professional Family Child Care Training from BCFCCA and have worked with children all my life.  I believe it is my true calling, and I am happy to bring this to the forefront of my life by opening my home in Maple Ridge, BC, to care for children.

"There is no greater feeling than knowing you helped
in the learning and growth of a child!
"

I am a people person, working with people ages 1 hour old to 99 years old!  I have years of experience working with children of family, friends, and friends of friends.  My aunt had an in home daycare for the majority of my life and I enjoyed being there as much as I possibly could because I loved working with kids (even as a kid myself!). 

"The light in a child’s eyes when they grasp something new shines brighter than the sun itself. 
A world without that would be a world not worth living in!
"

I strive to improve the quality of care I provide to my clients as a professional child care provider by staying informed on new learning methods and activities.  By having both in-home and out-of-home activities, such as field trips to the younger all-day children and craft time after school, I will be able to include growth and learning activities for the children of every age group.
