We hope you will come to think of our home as your child's "home-away-from-home" and a place where "learning is made fun."
Many experts agree that private home childcare gives your infant / toddler a wonderful start in life during those first, and most critical, formative years.
If you are not familiar with our daycare and your first contact with us is online: We want to hear from you! Please let us know what your needs and questions are, we will be more than happy to help.
Call Gail Lenker, Director, at (205) 252-3850. She will send you a Parent Handbook and request that you make a visit. We take appointments for first visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. That way, we can show you our private home facilities in a relaxed fashion. We look forward to hearing from you!
We serve children from one (1) month up to three (3) years of age. Our focus is to provide a safe, welcoming environment for the children in our care. At the same time, we teach essential social skills, such as: sharing, waiting your turn and interacting with other children of various ages. Our infants and toddlers enjoy learning their letters, numbers, shapes and colors, etc. Think of care in a licensed, private home as a "gift" that a parent gives to their child those first 36 months of life, up until the child is ready to transition from a home setting to a more structured classroom setting.
