About the business
I care for children infant to school age.
I have readied 100+ kids for Kindergarten with my in-home preschool curriculum. I love to see kids grow and learn.
Your child will have 2 healthy snacks and a lunch. They will have a structured day with lots of play and learning while in my care. They will learn to play, share and they will learn boundaries.
Thank you for taking time to read a little about me. I look forward to meeting you.

Ratings & Reviews
Ms. Kelly clearly loves children and her job. Over the summer, she planned many fun activities for the kids including a fun and educational bird show. She has themes (like transportation) that she covered every week and her assistant (who was once a child in her daycare) even comes up with creative activities and snacks to go with the themes. The kids get outside for regular activity, and they learn good hygiene and manners.
Ms. Kelly even has a preschool curriculum that she covers Monday-Friday for the school year. There is a monthly calendar we receive before the month begins. I appreciate knowing the concepts they are covering, so we can try to reinforce them at home. Before I met Ms. Kelly, I really wanted my daughter to start a traditional preschool (since COVID delayed our initial preschool start). However, to my delight, Kelly's program is providing the enrichment of a preschool with the extended care of a home daycare so both my husband and I can work without worrying. Ms. Kelly is experienced and it shows. She has techniques to help them hold pencils, helps them learn how to use scissors, and has them work on gluing (all necessary for kindergarten). My daughter never really colored much before (as she preferring painting), but she is bringing home all kinds of creative artwork weekly. I can tell her fine motor skills are improving. My daughter is learning socialization skills but in a small environment where I feel she is safe. And she's even learning sign language!
We feel so fortunate to have found Ms. Kelly.
Our three year old was having behavioral issues at his previous preschool. We believe that due to the immense size and lack of structure of his previous location, he was getting lost in the shuffle. In searching for care for our daughter, we found Kelly who also happened to have a preschool spot available so we moved them both. Kelly has very clear boundaries and rules along with the loving and structured environment we were looking for and his behavior has improved ten-fold.
Our daughter was one of those kids who struggled transitioning to the bottle once it was time for Mommy to go back to work. Kelly and her girls went above and beyond with more patience than any human should have and endured three weeks of getting her transitioned and we will always be forever grateful for not giving up on her.
Kelly and her staff are extremely professional, nice and loving to our children. There has never been any issues. Kelly nurtures our kids while we are at work and teaches them daily lessons. They get to run and play as well and be kids! I can emphasize enough, the dedication Kelly has to the entire family. She is the best!
It took a few weeks for our little one to adjust to being in a new place and with new people - and seeing her upset was probably more difficult for us than for her. Once she had adjusted though, it was easy to see how much she enjoys being with Kelly and the other children. At barely 14 months old, she is learning and growing every day, but we have no doubt that under Kelly's care, she is developing all the more. In fact, our pediatrician commented that her verbal skills are advanced for her age! She is also learning sign language, participating in arts and crafts, and absorbing all those life lessons - playing with others, sharing, friendliness and kindness, etc.
Our daughter has been with Kelly for about 3 months now, and we are so grateful that Kelly has become a part of her world. Kelly keeps us apprised on what she's learning and doing, how she's eating, drinking, napping, and her moods, and has even alerted us to when our baby may be coming down with something, which we very much appreciate as first time parents! Kelly also keeps us informed when she herself is not feeling well or when other children have not been well, so that we have the opportunity to keep our own little one out of daycare, and know to be on the lookout for any symptoms. In our interaction with Kelly at drop off and pick up times, we can see that Kelly truly cares for each of the children in her care, their families, and her own staff and family. We wholeheartedly recommend Kelly's Kids Daycare!
Our son loved to go there. The group of kids is diverse, ranges from a few month old to elementary school kids, and it felt like he had siblings. The kids a most certainly not just "numbers" like sometimes in a large facility. Kelly and her staff know each one of them, understand their little personalities, differences and they truly care about them. We are first time parents with our own families far away (I am from Germany, wife from SoCal), so Kelly's advice and years of experience was really helpful for us. I once had a small car accident just before I picked up my son. It was a bit nerve racking. She immediately recognized sth. is wrong and invited me to stay, make my phone calls and calm down, while she would look after my son. I don't think you will find many places where this would be the case. You become part of the family. I always felt the kids get the right amount of freedom to explore their personalities and spirits, but also the right amount of direction and values.
I personally will miss Kelly, her daycare, staff and the other kids and highly recommend her. If we would still life in Dublin, our son would most definitely still be there.
It is obvious Ms. Kelly loves her job, and treats the kids as her own. She and her staff give lots of love and care to the kids. She also teaches them life lessons. During the summer, they not only have summer academic lessons, but she takes them on field trips, have lovely walks, enjoy playing outdoors, and has them do community service too!
Ms. Kelly goes above and beyond when the kids are in her care. My daughters were with her for 4 years, and let me tell you, she has saved me countless times, picking up the kids or dropping them off for me when my work schedule does not allow me to pick up/drop the kids to school and even transported them to their camps!
She also makes sure she checks in with me regarding the girls and gives me full reports when need be. When my girls have conflict in her care, she has them sit down and talk it out, often teaching them valuable lessons.
She has them do homework so that when I pick up the kids, I actually have time to spend with the kids instead of having them do homework.
Ms. Kelly has a wonderful way of creating structure and set expectations/rules so the kids know how to behave in class. I've learned a lot from her listening to what the kids say about Ms. Kelly. One thing I learned is when she is talking to someone and the child wants to ask something, the child places his/her hand on her hip. She acknowledges them as they wait for her to complete the sentence. Then, she gives them her full attention. The kids do that with me now instead of they used to do: say Mom 100x and interrupt!
My kids are older now, so they will be going to academic enrichment after school. But, if I had a choice, I would have them stay with her after school throughout their school career. She is more than a daycare provider; she is family to us. We miss her tremendously.
