Our daughter recently enrolled in this day care a few months ago and she has blossomed. It is quite amazing. Her vocabulary, manners and skill set have increased substantially. The caregiver is so kind and full of compassion. She is very understanding and flexible as our schedules are constantly changing. Our daughter is very happy and looks forward to going to this daycare on a daily basis. It is so reassuring to know that our daughter is comfortable and in a nurturing environment.

This caregiver has provided childcare for both of my children for 9 plus years; one is 13 and the other is 6. I can honestly say it was meant for us to meet her. She's a Saint. She's loving. She's kind. She's reliable. She's flexible. She's creative. She's clean and her home is clean a safe. And she is extremely nurturing. And strict when need be.
She's not a babysitter though. She's a child-care provider and she does just that. She provides care for children.
Unlike many providers, she teaches the children. She teaches them how to read and write. And she helps to prepare the children for kindergarten.
Bottom line, she's a total package! She is everything a parent should want in a childcare provider.

thank you

The owner provides a great outlined schedule for children that do not have regimented schedules already built in. Wholesome food is available for every meal period. She is more than accommodating to more difficult schedules. I would recommend this family child care to anyone.
