Who we are

Hi! My name is Christina Roth, but the kids call me "Stina," "Miss Asina," "Strina," and many other adorable approximations of my name! This is my daycare/preschool, and I'm sure you're curious about who I am! So, who am I?! Well, simply put, I'm a woman who loves kids like they are my own. I started this business 10 years ago with the idea that I could spend time around children before having children of my own, but as my husband and I have walked the path of infertility, the business has become something else. It's become a family. Several children from the same families have come to me over the years as their families grew, making me the long-term caregiver for several families.

Gentle Discipline:

The exciting mission of gentle caregiving is to nurture confident, independent, and joyful children! By embracing empathy, respect, and understanding, while also establishing healthy boundaries, we can create a vibrant environment for our little ones to thrive!

Why am I using it in a daycare/preschool? 

​Because every child deserves to be celebrated and treated with kindness as they embark on their journey of becoming amazing little humans!

How it Looks Here:​

 I am a huge proponent of gentle parenting/caregiving, so I don’t yell, shame, isolate, or ostracize the children in my care ever because all behavior is communication of some need, and everyone does a bit of boundary testing now and then. I also do my best to identify when I'M the one being triggered and take steps to deal with it in myself before responding to the children. If a child is having a problem, I take them aside and talk to them about what is bothering them so we can work together to figure out what's going on.

  • Maggie the box turtle

    Family Pet:

    Meet our delightful family member, Maggie the Box Turtle! She has her very own cozy enclosure in her room, and we love to visit her during drop-off and pick-up times. Maggie such a polite turtle, and when the kids get to interact with her, it's always under close supervision, followed by a thorough hand wash. The little ones can gently pet her shell with one or two fingers, but we make sure to keep her safe by not allowing them to pick her up or touch her face. Maggie only joins us in the daycare space during severe weather threats, and even then, she stays snug in her pet carrier!

  • In Loving Memory

    Finally, Grandma Judy, Jacob's amazing mom, brought so much joy to our childcare before she sadly passed away in September 2020. From joining us on field trips to stepping in as an assistant and sharing her passion music with the kids she truly made a lasting impact! The love between her and the children was truly something magical to see, and we all cherish those wonderful memories. You might noticed our childcare has had a couple of names over the years, and our current name honors her vibrant spirit, as joy was her greatest gift. So, if you see her in pictures or hear your little ones talking about Grandma Judy, know that her legacy lives on in our hearts and conversations every day! :)
