I welcome your little ones to come to our fun, safe, and loving home! My daycare is named after my daughter. As a new mom, who was returning to work, she searched for a daycare where her children would be safe, attended to with care, have fun and feel at home in a clean and inviting home. It made all the difference to her and she was able to focus on her work without having to worry. My daycare is here to help families who have to work, and want to make sure their children are in great hands every day. Before opening my daycare, I worked as a private nanny for over 15 years with families in Fairfield, Westport, and Manhattan. I am still in touch with all of those families and love to watch the children I took care of as they grow. If you are looking for a daycare you can trust, where your children will love to come, then give me a call. I am licensed by the State of Connecticut to provide care for children from newborn to kindergarten. I am Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Certified. I am a Care 4 Kids care provider. I provide breakfast, lunch and snacks. I am also available for urgent care needs on Saturdays. Lastly, I am happy to provide references at your request.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Fairfield, CT

Drop-in daycare near you in Fairfield, CT can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Fairfield, CT, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Fairfield, CT may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Fairfield, CT, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
