Our Goal

Is creating a quality child care home for your child and to provide:

An enriching learning environment- Yes we will be teaching the ABC’s and 123’s however we feel that learning is more than that, we feel learning is also being given the opportunity to learn values and manners. The learning of honesty, respect, self-reliance, and potentially self-control, self-discipline and moderation, are all values of being; dependability, love, sensitivity to others, kindness, friendliness, and fairness are the values of giving.
A proper approach to boundaries-Since children occasionally need structural boundaries, it is important that we keep an open communication so that your child is not too confused as to where the boundaries are and what is expected of him/her.
An environment that fosters unconditional love, support, and acceptance- This kind of love is very important to us because children should not grow up feeling that in order to be loved and cared for, they must meet numerous conditions.
Terrific Kidz provides- a small, safe, loving, and nurturing environment for children during the most important time of their development. We offer a combination of a play-based and structure learning environment that gives children the opportunity to develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain manners and the self-confidence required in new experiences. We have monthly themes which we base our curriculum from which includes letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. We provide lots of arts, crafts, and science fun. We provide breakfast, lunch, and a PM snack. Currently we are enrolling children between the ages of 2-5.
Extras: Daily check-ins provided through brightwheel app, seasonal themed parties, Birthday celebration, outdoor water play in the summer months, and movie/pajama days throughout the year.

Tamra Buchanan

I love teaching, it is my passion. I attended Western Oregon University and got my Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. After that I have worked as the assistant director for two different Childcare centers as well as a Pre-K Teacher. I am so proud to provide an environment where I can teach and watch my kiddos grow. My goal is to have each one ready for preschool and be successful as they take their next step up the education ladder.

Hi!

I’m Hannah Tamlyn and I’m a 20-year-old and I am currently a ending at Clackamas Community College to earn my associates degree in Early Childhood Education. In my personal time, I like to exercise, attend to my garden, and spend me with family and friends. In my past I have worked in an in-home childcare center for a year and before that I was working as a nanny for personal families. I also tried the food service industry. To continue my education with children I want to help children figure out who they are as a person and find many opportunities for things they love to do such as art, exploring the world through play and getting ready for kindergarten!

I am very excited to work at Terrifickidz!

Hello families! My name is Kristen Wilhoite. My family relocated to West Linn in May 2022 from Temecula California. We just love it here so far. We have a daughter, named June who is 3-1/2. I was a server and bartender for years and then transitioned to a stay at home mom. I am excited to work with your kids, everyone has been so kind and welcoming. As a family we enjoy going for walks, puzzles, art, and watching movies. I hope to go back to school and continue my education in early childhood studies. I love working with your kids, every day is a new adventure.
