I, Mohini Sharma became a stay at home mom when I couldn't find a suitable daycare for my children. My goal is to provide a safe, hands on, in home care daycare which encourages children to discover, learn, imagine and play at their own pace, so that parents will have peace of mind knowing their child is great hands. I have opened my home to my daycare children to allow them to have a discovery kingdom. They are not limited to just a small space within the home. They have a large open space to play, learn, and grow within the comforts of "being home". The children are exposed to all learning materials needed to start kindergarten in a fun playful environment without even realizing they are learning. I take pride in what I do; I love children, and I love the fact that I am able to make a difference in their lives! The children of my daycare are kind, compassionate, motivated, intelligent, and ready to succeed in life!
