Dear Parent:
Welcome to Puddle Jumpers Family Daycare. My name is Diane Zotzman. The children refer to me as Ms. Diane. I have formerly run a daycare in Kelowna for fifteen years (ten years as a licensed caregiver). My work here in Williams Lake has brought me to a total of twenty-nine years of dedicated service to children. I love children and I enjoy the time I spend with them. My daycare is run on a “guided play” criteria which allows a nice mixture of structured activities, choices and free play. My background in arts, crafts, music and teaching, helps me make your child’s day interesting and educational. My goal is to combine a comfortable family atmosphere with all the perks of a daycare setting. Please feel free to discuss any relevant issues regarding your child at any time.
Thank you!
K. Diane Zotzman
