My daycare is a home where you can bring your children and feel complete trust that they are in a safe and loving environment, where we love, nurture, and treat as one of our own family.

At my daycare we understand the importance of finding a safe, fun place for your little ones to play and grow. We run a program that consists of music, sensory exploration, arts and crafts and of course free play. Building community within our center is key in the children's development. Our goal is for the children to feel safe, have fun and know that each one of them is important to our centers community. We do have a daily schedule that we follow everyday. This is implemented so children feel secure in their daily activities and promotes learning, growing and having fun with friends. My primary goal is providing the highest quality of care. Each child will be cared for beyond physical needs, as their mental development is key too. I operate as a child-led engagement program, where the child can feel safe and happy while they are learning at a pace that is right for the child. As a parent myself, I know how hard it is to have to work while also needing a place for your children during the day. My program has an early start time and late pick up to allow for the flexibility that working parents need. What is NeighborSchools?
