My name is Sharon and I am a licensed family child care provider in Franklin, Massachusetts. My license is for 6 children. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and continue to go to training classes to better myself as a childcare provider. I have a certified assistant and a regular part-time assistant that works with me. We are an established family in Franklin, Massachusetts for over 25 years. I have had many years of experience with caring for children. I love children and have made my home a place where they feel that love. I don't look at it as just a job but something I positively love doing. I have references of those who can testify to that. I have a curriculum that we follow as much as is possible. This is something we can discuss in more detail if I hear from you. One thing more I would like to say is that my most important concern is that any children in my care will receive a lot of love, be safe, fed healthy food, and have lots of fun while learning and growing everyday. I do try to keep the cost down so do call me and and I will answer any questions you might have.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Plainville, MA

Drop-in daycare near you in Plainville, MA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis.

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 Plainville, MA, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Plainville, MA 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.
