The owner and main caregiver is a licensed child care provider with 10 years of experience in early care and education. She holds an Associate's Degree in General Studies and is CPR & First-aid certified. She can also administer medication to all children in her care since she’s a MAT trained. As a mother of 6 children, she had lots of hands-on training and personal experience with children. She loves working with children and treats them as if they were her own.

The owner's goal is to build truthful and honest relationships with parents to help them teach and care for their child. She believes that each child has unique potential and attributes that can be enhanced within a dynamic learning and nurturing environment. She respects and supports each child's emotional needs, individual learning styles, and personal development level.

This daycare follows the Play-based learning approach. The curriculum is designed to promote each child's cognitive, socio-emotional and physical development through play. It also encourages to seek answers to questions, develop problem-solving skills and think creatively by providing activities in a safe and nurturing environment. Upon request, the provider can teach your child the Urdu and Hindi languages in addition to English (however, please note that her daycare is not a bilingual preschool).

The facility has lots of natural light with a great variety of age-appropriate toys. There is a large backyard with a very big sand area which is perfect for children's outdoor activities. There's also a small fenced garden outside, and the teacher uses the plants to teach her students about the seeds.
