About Me
As a mother of three with 14 years of child care experience, I understand how important it is for you to find the right place for your child. I want to assure you that your child will be safe, happy, and well cared for at my daycare. I’m not just a child care provider; I’m a mom who genuinely loves being around children. I have been a stay-at-home mom for many years, taking care of my own children. I have also spent 18 years working as a nursing assistant so you can be re-assured that your children will be in good hands with me! My own kids are now grown up and in school, and I miss the joy of having little ones around all day, so I decided to open my home to care for other children. I am MAT trained and hold certifications in first aid and CPR, so you can feel confident that your child is in safe hands. I truly believe that children thrive in a loving, home-like environment, and I’m committed to providing that for your child.
Our Programs
Glenmont Forest Children's Den offers a wide range of programs options to fit your family's needs, including full-time care, part-time care, before & after school care, a preschool program, as well as drop-in care if you only have occasional needs. Our hours of operation are from 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. We care for children from as young as 6 weeks to 5 years old, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We also understand the importance of nutrition in your child’s growth, which is why we provide a healthy lunch and snacks throughout the day. All meals are peanut-free and tree-nut-free to ensure the safety of all children. We are proud to offer a nursing / breastfeeding room for mothers who wish to nurse their infants comfortably.
Our Curriculum
At Glenmont Forest Children's Den, we believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. That’s why we use a play-based curriculum that encourages creativity, exploration, and learning in a natural way. We incorporate arts, music, and plenty of outdoor play into our daily routine because we know that these activities help children develop important skills while having fun. These activities not only foster creativity but also help in developing fine motor skills and social interaction. Thank you for reading about me, I look forward to welcoming your little one into our home!

I have been knowing this caregiver for about 17 years, she was selfless, caring, and agile while she was taking care of my son. At that time, me and my wife were students. She is a wonderfully nurturing our son like hers.

This caregiver is a gem. She has taken such great care of my son. As a first time mom she has made this process extremely smooth. She loves my son as if he were hers and constantly sends me updates throughout the day. Her house is very clean, organized, and she has all the toys imaginable for children of all ages. If I have more kids in the future, I will be enrolling them with her!
