I welcome your little ones to come to our fun, safe, and loving home! My daycare is named after my daughter. As a new mom, who was returning to work, she searched for a daycare where her children would be safe, attended to with care, have fun and feel at home in a clean and inviting home. It made all the difference to her and she was able to focus on her work without having to worry. My daycare is here to help families who have to work, and want to make sure their children are in great hands every day. Before opening my daycare, I worked as a private nanny for over 15 years with families in Fairfield, Westport, and Manhattan. I am still in touch with all of those families and love to watch the children I took care of as they grow. If you are looking for a daycare you can trust, where your children will love to come, then give me a call. I am licensed by the State of Connecticut to provide care for children from newborn to kindergarten. I am Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Certified. I am a Care 4 Kids care provider. I provide breakfast, lunch and snacks. I am also available for urgent care needs on Saturdays. Lastly, I am happy to provide references at your request.
