History

When I was a new parent, I wanted to go back to school and get to work as soon as possible to provide for my new bundle of joy. I was going to school, studying to be an elementary school teacher, and also working as a teacher assistant at an elementary school at the time. I put her in the day care closest to my home, not knowing anything about what goes into creating a quality environment for an infant or any child 0-5 years old. Not long afterwards, an incident happened. My 8 month old daughter had a fever of over 100 degrees and the day care provider had no idea about it, let alone thought to call me. I had to take her to the emergency room and it was the scariest experience of my life. Especially as a new parent. 

It was an eye opening experience. Just because it is conveniently close to home does not make it the most suitable place for your precious little cargo. Just because it is expensive does not make it the best place for your child. That is why when I decided to open my own facility, my personal motto became "Be the ideal caregiver I would trust my child with." When your child is with me, they become my children. I create a bond with every single child who comes under my care and it is heartbreaking when it is time to start transitioning them to the next level in their educational lives. However, there has never been a family that has said that I do the bare minimum. I go above and beyond, challenging each child, encouraging their strengths and strengthening their weaknesses. I teach the INDIVIDUAL because I know not every child learns the exact same way or at the same speed. Every child is unique and I use that to their advantage when learning new skills and material.

I believe I bring an exceptional level of enthusiasm, passion, dedication, and love that makes the children under my care thrive in a playful, fun, educational environment. The environment I create for parents is one of acceptance and learning from one another. Everyone becomes like one big family, a big loving community.
