*All day care *Before school/after school- will drop off or pick up *Date nights/over nights *CONVENIENT 24 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK* My goal is to have small groups of children and take care of them as my own. I would love to have long term families and build relationships with them and the children. I would be willing to help anyone if short term or last minute care is needed. I'm not a typical one room daycare, the children are welcomed in several rooms so they feel welcomed and at home. I'm not a teacher but I love reading to the little ones, and playing puzzles, etc. Older children will feel at home too. Meals and snacks are included.

Samantha T. says "Debbie is great about accommodating changes in our schedule and checking in about and honoring any preferences we had about our daughter's care...food,...
