Positive Child Care Solutions




A Fun, Safe, Healthy & Nurturing Learning Environment

Specializing in: Infants - Toddlers - Preschoolers

Contact: Isabelle @ 360-723-5413

Positive Child Care Solutions is an in-home licensed child care and preschool. Our program offers care to children ages 4 weeks to 5 years with preschool/kindergarten readiness for children when they're ready. We are conveniently located in Battle Ground, WA. 

Positive Child Care Solutions bases its philosophies on each child's total development. Children are encouraged to explore the world around them through free play and age-appropriate activities. 


Academic research states children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. So we have fun!! 


In addition, significant research has provided evidence that warm, loving and home-like settings are natural environments for children during early childhood. While offering the safety and comfort of home, and providing a consistent caregiver throughout the years, family child care is the care choice for many parents.

Learning through play is at the heart of my program. It is through play that young children learn about themselves and others. It is my goal to support each child's creativity, self-confidence, and independence daily. I strive to incorporate a variety of experiences - some structured, some not - to ensure a healthy balance. My child care environment and schedule are set up to avoid conflict. By keeping the children busy, happy and healthy problems are rare.




I provide a fun, safe, healthy and nurturing learning environment to support the physical, cognitive, and emotional growth of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in my care. The learning environment provides developmentally appropriate experiences designed to stimulate these areas of growth.

Positive Child Care Solutions provides a safe and fun indoor and outdoor environment where children can run, play and explore. We are also within walking distance of a neighborhood park and playground designed for children ages 2-5.

A little about me and my program:


I have worked with young children and families for over 25 years - my true passion. I have been a licensed childcare provider in both Washington State and California. (Scroll down to read parents' comments about the care I provided for their little ones.)


Infants, toddlers and preschoolers have access to age-appropriate educational toys and materials.
They enjoy a clean and cheerful indoor play and learning environment.

They also enjoy a safe and enclosed outdoor play area.

Parent involvement and communication is vital to making the strong connection between home and childcare. Parents have confirmed (below) that ongoing communication helps foster a supportive, consistent, and thriving environment. 

I believe children begin learning the moment they're born. As such, I take advantage of "learning moments" throughout each day. Children learn through music, story time, books, arts and crafts, circle time, puppets, play, and more.




I have developed a kindergarten readiness/preschool program using the finest early learning philosophies. As noted above, "learning through play" is at the heart of my curriculum. Children entering kindergarten after attending my program have exceeded entrance requirements. 




Children will be given the opportunity to learn the importance of doing their part for our environment. They will learn to recycle, have a chance to grow their own vegetables, and will learn to make their own creations using items from nature. They will also learn how to turn everyday reusable items into fun and unique pieces of art.



Additionally, children are fed nutritional, well-balanced, kid-friendly meals and snacks at no extra charge to parents. (I participate in the USDA Food Program.) 



I encourage you to contact me if this sounds like the environment you've been looking for. We can then set up an appointment to meet so you can learn more about what I have to offer and I can learn more about your childcare needs.


Parent/grandparent feedback:

"Isabelle cared for my two children Madelyn and Logan in So. CA. I was new to the area and didn't know anyone who could care for my children. I found her ad online and thought I'd give it a try. I had an older son who has been to daycare previously so I had some expectation of how it should be.

"Isabelle's daycare was by far the best I've ever experienced. Madelyn began speaking more clearly and properly. She started using new vocabulary I didn't think she'd learn at such a young age. Everyday Madelyn would tell me stories about all the different activities she'd done that day such as painting, storytelling, and trips to the park. The children at her daycare were immersed in activities that developed their minds and bodies. The television was rarely on.

"Logan was always happy and clean when I picked him up. Isabelle made life easier for me by washing Logan's bottles and providing his meals. She even made time to send photographs through text messages of the children's activities during the day. She was very accommodating to my busy schedule.



"Most importantly, my children were always happy and excited to go to Isabelle's daycare. I was impressed with Isabelle's professionalism and genuine care and love for the children. She didn't just watch the children. She helped develop their skills and personalities. I know she will continue to provide the same level of care to future children." Kristina G., (Madelyn and Baby Logan)


"Being new to day care I was amazed that Layna immediately adjusted to being with Isabelle. Layna loved being there and being part of story time, arts play time and going to the park. She would be happy in the morning when she was dropped off and was not ready to leave when it was time to go home.

"My experience with Isabelle was that she went above and beyond to take care of Layna and all other children in her care. She cooked them fresh meals every day which I loved that she took the time to prepare fresh and healthy food.

"Not once did Layna come home unhappy. Anytime Layna got dirty from playing outside, playing with paint and crayons, she was always in clean clothes and washed up when she came home. 


"Isabelle was also a great source of information for us as we are first time parents. We still keep in touch as we consider Isabelle like family after the wonderful care she provided for Layna." Lotti H. (Baby Layna)


"Henry was always happy, clean and playing with age appropriate toys. The other children interacted with him and each other and were polite when I showed up. All the children appeared content. There was no TV!! Lunch was eaten at the table with the adults. All the rooms were clean and there were plenty of toys and many books and craft materials. It was obvious that the children were happy there." - Madeleine, "Big" Henry's Grandma (describing her experience while picking her grandson up weekly, mid-day) (WA)



"Henry was always happy to go to daycare and happy when he came home. He received a lot of attention and positive stimulation, which I believe has been critical to his early development. Isabelle puts a premium on communication. She updated us daily on Henry's activities and provided advice on issues we faced as first-time parents. She was willing to be flexible as we settled into our new life and tried to find the balance between work and family. Isabelle is a devoted caregiver who truly loves children." - Abbi, "Baby" Henry's mom (WA)




"We instantly loved Isabelle. She was able to make us feel welcomed in her home and shared her philosophy about daycare with us which matched what we had been looking for. Isabelle became part of the family and attended birthdays and dance recitals. She truly cares about the children and their families and works with them to create a sense of unity between home and daycare ... What I truly cherish about her daycare is that she provides structure for the children and has a great amount of play based instructional time as well." - Kristen, Hannah & Sean's mom (WA)





"Over the course of the year, I have been grateful for the caring, reliable, consistent environment Isabelle has created for my son. He is always happy in the morning and is happy when I come and get him after my day at work. I cannot express what a relief it is to know that my son is content and well cared for while I am away from him. He seems healthily attached to Isabelle; he hugs her goodbye in the evening and goes home with me contentedly.
"Isabelle has been very successful in giving Henry something he wouldn't have been able to get from me at home, the chance to socialize with multiple children around his own age. When we go out with my friends or to the children's time at the library, I notice that he plays very well with other babies and I know this is because Isabelle has worked with him and her other charges. 

"Leaving Henry behind was hard at first, but I was glad to see him thrive while I was away from him. He was and is a healthy baby. One of the concerns of daycare is that the children get sicker, but he has not been ill once. He hasn't even had a diaper rash. I am confident in the quality of care provided on all levels: emotional, physical, and mental. It made it much easier for me to return to work knowing that my son was being looked after so capably." - Juliet, "Big" Henry's mom (WA)



"Our daughter did not attend a traditional preschool, but Isabelle made sure that she provided preschool activities to prepare her for kindergarten. At the beginning of her kindergarten year she had exceeded many of the entrance requirements." - Kristen, Sean & Hannah's mom (WA)



"She (Isabelle) takes a personal interest in every child she cares for and her ability to nurture each child's developmental stage is reflected in the positive aspects I have noticed in Aubrie's character as well as my interactions with the other children." - Bria, Aubrey's mom (WA)



"We felt safe, secure, and always knew that our children were provided the best care out there. In average day the kids were able to play with stations, story time, enjoy arts and crafts, quiet/naptime and (weather permitting) outside activities. I was always confident they were being taught how to share and interact with each other on a social level. I would highly recommend Isabelle for daycare for anyone looking for a comfortable yet structured environment. We miss her regularly and wish we were able to continue to enjoy her daycare." - Erica, Olivia and Wyatt's mom (WA)
