Our Family Childcare

  • Learning should be fun!

    Children learn best from an environment that provides hands-on, age-appropriate activities such as art exploration and collaborative projects in a choice-based curriculum. These structured activities will help the child succeed, grow, and gain self-confidence.

    We believe in celebrating the joy and wonder of childhood in everything we do, with laughter in abundance. As art educators we both bring creative perspectives to childcare while introducing art, theater, music, and nature.

    Come grow with us!

  • We provide new art projects weekly. Studies have shown that through exploring the arts, children gain confidence in all aspects of their lives. We will aid in your child’s self expression through their work.

  • Both Jane and Annie value the Montessori methods of teaching in our home daycare. While many of our activities and lessons are derived from a Montessori mindset, we also understand that not every child learns in the same way. This is why our children's materials are a mix of both Montessori and traditional-style works.

    We aim for all of our child-centered lessons to be engaging, challenging, and student driven.
