*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.
