Fam­i­ly Day Care com­bines the ben­e­fits of oth­er child­care options with the warmth and inti­ma­cy of being in a family home. Chil­dren in Fam­i­ly Day Care devel­op a close rela­tion­ship with the Edu­ca­tor while being encour­aged to learn through play-based pro­grams. The small­er sized groups of chil­dren in Fam­i­ly Day Care create a space where chil­dren receive more indi­vid­ual atten­tion as well as the social inter­ac­tion they need and enjoy. Research suggests there are more positive outcomes for children in home-based care, particularly for under three-year-olds.

We believe that chil­dren are strong, interde­pen­dent, and capa­ble indi­vid­u­als with a right to high-qual­i­ty edu­ca­tion and care. We val­ue each child’s voice and abil­i­ties, sup­port­ing their eager­ness to learn and grow. We hold high expec­ta­tions for children’s learn­ing and sup­port them through the process.
