Hello my name is Kayley, I'm a mom of 2 and was inspired to open up my home to help other working parents find a space they can feel comfortable leaving their little ones in. As a mom who felt like she had to quit her job after reading so many stories about neglectful babysitters and caregivers, I wanted to create a safe and fun space for other children. I as well as my sister Gwen, are CPR and first aid certified. Depending on your child's age, we work with developmental milestones, teaching colors, shapes, numbers, the alphabet, and animals. We offer meal plans so that you can feel fully informed on what your child will be munching on throughout the day. We don't believe in letting the TV watch your children like many in home daycare's do an hour of TV while we prepare lunch is the most the TV will be used if at all. We are pet free and smoke free home. Since we are a small daycare we are able to do more trips. We are able to go to the park, apple orchard, and other educational places, these trips are prepared well in advance for you. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to message us and we'll be happy to help. -Kayley and Gwen, G&K Care
