Curriculum:
Our play-based approach to learning encourages creativity, exploration, and social interaction. We believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences, so our curriculum is designed to engage their imaginations and foster a love for learning.
We also offer fun extra-curricular activities to enrich your child’s experience. Through art and music sessions, children can unleash their inner creativity and express themselves. We use a music education program called Kindermusik, which brings the joy of music and movement into their lives, enhancing their cognitive and motor skills.

They have taken such good care of our 1 and 3 year olds. They were incredibly patient and affectionate with the 3 year old, who threw fits at dropoff for months as she struggled to transition from another provider, and disrupted naptime. Now she plays quietly and lets the other kids rest, thanks to their careful handling of the situation. For my 1 year old, who refused solids, they painstakingly offered him food to the point where he now eats... more

I was devastated when my daughter's previous daycare closed abruptly. Then, I found this daycare and it's 10x better than our previous place. I love the way they care for my daughter, who is almost two. When she comes home, I can tell she's learning new things and has enjoyable days. Sometimes she doesn't want to leave! And the option of not having to cook all of her meals is a lifesaver. I highly recommend this daycare for parents looking for a... more

This Family Child Care is an exceptional child care facility. My two daughters have attended for almost 5 years and there is no one I trust more to care for my children. The owner leads with kindness, understanding and loves the children like they are her own. The breakfast and lunches provided are nutritious and it always put me at ease knowing they were receiving a balance of fruits, proteins, grains and vegetables. My children always eat... more

Both of our sons attended this daycare since they were 3 months old. It was difficult for us as first time parents to leave our son at a daycare but they made it so easy. They were loved and well taken care of. You won’t get daily text updates of your child but know that they are not on their phone and are actually playing and doing something with your child. Our oldest started Kindergarten two years ago but we still keep in touch .

We loved them and were sad to leave them when we moved. We felt our child was well cared for and loved. Our child developed great eating habits with them and was always excited to attend.

We love this daycare! Everyone is warm, welcoming and caring. We can tell they truly care for our daughter. They are very attentive and genuinely care for the children. It's a relief to know she is in a safe, caring environment where she is learning, becoming socialized and having fun. It has been so nice to find a place for our daughter where we feel confident and at ease while we are at work.

We had the unbelievable privilege of having them care for our daughter, N, from the time she was 6 months old until she started PreK. Everyday, we were treated as family. We knew that our daughter was well-cared for and actively engaged at all her different stages of development. Having been referred to them myself, I consider that referral to be the greatest gift a friend has ever given me. I cannot recommend them highly enough; there simply... more

We absolutely love this childcare center! They are wonderful teachers and caregivers for my kids. We have sent both our boys there from 4 months to 3 years and both of them love going. We are so pleased with their care and curriculum and love they give our children. I would 100% recommend them to anyone seeking a safe, positive, and loving environment where your children can grow. We are so blessed to have found them!

Our current two-year old son is our 4th child that has attended this family child care program. We feel incredibly blessed and lucky that we found this provider and her family almost 12 years ago. Our kids are happy, healthy, and safe at this daycare every day and we can go off to our very busy jobs and know the kids are in caring hands. Her home is a home away from home for these kids and for us.
One thing I love about this daycare is how the... more

My kiddo loves it here with homemade food everyday, safe environment inside and outside, and loving caregivers. Rates very reasonable for this area, supports military families, note there are pets in the home, but never a problem.
