Hello parents! I am the owner and primary caregiver at Muncaster Mill Cozy Corner. My passion for child care began while working at a daycare, where I quickly realized how naturally children connected with me, and how much I enjoyed caring for them. That experience showed me that children can sense genuine attention and kindness, and it shaped the way I approach care every day.
As a mother of two children who are now in college, I raised my own family with the same patience, structure, and attention that I bring to my daycare. I completed professional training in child development and hold certifications in health and safety, CPR, First Aid, and Medication Administration (MAT).
I treat every child in my care as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident and at ease when choosing care for your child, and I work hard to create that peace of mind for every family. ❤️
We believe a strong partnership between parents and caregivers is key to a child’s success. Because children spend a significant part of their day with us, we take our role seriously in observing their development and recognizing any needs early.
We prioritize open, consistent communication so you always feel informed and connected. Through regular updates and check-ins, we work together to maintain consistency between home and daycare, helping your child build confidence and feel secure.
Muncaster Mill Cozy Corner is supported by a dedicated team focused on providing attentive, consistent care. All staff meet Office of Child Care (OCC) requirements and participate in ongoing training in child development and early learning best practices.
We maintain a small group setting with a maximum of eight children and an average ratio of four children per caregiver. This allows us to give each child more individualized attention throughout the day and helps reduce exposure to illness.
Our home daycare offers safe, engaging indoor and outdoor play areas designed to support each child’s development. Most importantly, we create a warm, calm and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and cared for. 😊
Our play-based curriculum is designed to support each stage of early childhood development. Guided by structured monthly activity plans developed through 45 hours of professional training, we combine daily routines with hands-on learning and play.
Children participate in reading, early writing, arts and crafts, and occasional field trips. These activities help build confidence, communication skills, and independence while encouraging curiosity and creativity.
