About Us
We Are More Than Just a Daycare:
Our experienced, educated, and licensed teachers know what it takes to bring out the best in every child every day. We don't just mindlessly play with toys all day. We learn, we explore, and we create masterpieces, together!
We Believe in a Better Way:
It is our deepest core belief that children learn best when they feel safe and encouraged to be themselves. We utilize only the most effective, compassionate, and evidence-based methods for guiding every child's behavior down the path that keeps our classroom safe and comfortable.
We Love to Look Our Best!
If there's one major benefit to choosing a home daycare over a facility, it's the home. We go above and beyond to keep all our areas not only clean, but also sanitized because we work here, but we live here too! We strongly encourage parents to keep their children home if they suspect their child may be ill. We encourage (but do not strictly enforce) everyone to wear a mask at all times, and we always send your kids home looking as good as when they came (or at least as close as possible haha!)
