STOUGHTON - Skylar Coderre has moved back to Stoughton, where she was born and spent her early years.
When she was in Grade 3, her parents moved to Weyburn and she graduated from high school there. Coderre took a job with Sunrise Daycare in Weyburn, where she worked for three years and met her husband-to-be Dawson Knorr.
She took early childhood education through the Southeast College, and also obtained her first aid and CPR training. Presently she is working on her Level 2 early childhood education.
Knorr and Coderre have two children, Alijah, age four, and one-year-old Brooks. Her first pregnancy went well, but while she was pregnant with Brooks, she needed to take a medical level of absence from her job. After Brooks was born, he became jaundice, and it was at this time they realized his breathing was not right. Further testing was done to discover that he has a genetic condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
He is in the severe category and therefore cannot go to a daycare unless the staff has special training with the illness.
This is a condition in which muscle tissue of the heart becomes thickened without an obvious reason. Parts of the heart that are most commonly affected are the interventricular septum and the ventricles.
Coderre wanted to stay home with her kids but also wanted to work, and this is where the decision of opening a day home came. It will be run by Coderre, as Knorr works in construction and usually is not home during the day.
She had also done her homework and seen there was only one daycare in Stoughton, and she felt this opened a great opportunity for her to open a day home.
After buying a house, they put their wedding on the backburner for now and will open their day home called Sky’s the Limit Day Home in January.
She is allowed to have eight children but will be happy to have four join her home.
Coderre is excited about this new chapter in her life, and moreso is excited to offer children a safe, healthy, fun and happy environment while parents are at work.
She is happy to answer any questions one might have and looks forward to hearing from parents who need a reliable place for their children
