our history
Seeking out trustworthy, reliable daycare that offers more stimulation than a typical babysitter can be a daunting and disappointing ordeal. After six years as a Certified Professional Nanny, having her own child, and braving the daycare search herself, Brandi Webber became convinced she could create a better source of child care, right in her own community. During her search, she would find a place that appeared clean, organized and well-staffed but lacked that warm, nurturing quality that every child needs. Or another facility would appear nurturing and friendly, but fall short of providing the clean environment and cognitive stimulation that she also felt was important. Outrageous prices for care were also an obstacle. With over ten years of child care experience, Brandi Webber decided to take matters into her own hands and, in 2001, created Imagination Station Daycare Center in her own home. Shortly after opening, Imagination Station filled up quickly, expanding in the summer of 2006. Imagination Station continues to grow, providing many families in the North Portland community with reliable, affordable, top-notch professional child care.

Brandi Webber
Brandi started Imagination Station Daycare because she wanted to create a child care facility that carried that perfect balance in nurturing, educating, being parent friendly and very child driven. After graduating from Northwest Nannies Inc. and using that knowledge to nanny for 5 years, working in a preschool, and starting her home-based daycare, Brandi has a special understanding of the importance of quality child care. As a parent she has experienced the difficulties in finding the right child care provider and understands the stresses and concerns parents go through during this time. Brandi loves supporting her North Portland community; she encourages kids to do the same.
MEET OUR STAFF
Imagination Station's highly qualified staff meets and exceeds all of Oregon's Child Care Division requirements. Upon employment, each staff member undergoes a week-long training regimen at our facility. During this time, they learn our various programs, and also become acquainted with the children and their parents to ensure we meet the expectations each family has for their child. In addition to gaining certification in CPR, Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention, and First Aid, Imagination Station staff members also attend workshops throughout the year to keep current on the most effective methods to enhance a child's development.
Our staff is friendly, patient and nurturing. We work closely with parents to ensure that their child is receiving care tailored to his or her personal needs and development. Anytime is a good time to voice concerns about your child's care with us. We understand parents have busy schedules and each child moves at a different pace. We enjoy helping, guiding and encouraging you and your family any way we can.
