HELLO, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!
My name is Sydney Malenke. I recently moved to Waconia, MN with my husband, Jay and two daughters. Opening my home childcare is allowing me to combine my two favorite roles; Mom and Teacher.

Over the last seven years I worked as an Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) teacher. I have worked with preschool, 3-5 year old's, up to grade 5. The majority of my time was spent teaching PreK and Kindergarten Students.
