I have been doing licensed home daycare for 23 years while raising our 3 daughters. My daycare families become an extension of our family and I treat them as I would my own in a safe, nurturing environment. We keep our days semi structured with baking, working on preschool skills, growing independence and focusing on manners to become happy, kind and loving friends. The children also have plenty of free play time to stretch their imaginations!

She's been raising kids for so long that I go to her constantly if I have a question about parenting. Our kids…
