About
Are you looking for an affordable Home Away From Home for your children while you are working. We currently have openings in our licensed daycare. We are only open during the school year for children under the age of 3 years old. We are closed for the summer due to running a summer camp program at another facility that we own. For teachers this is perfect because we know it's hard to find a daycare where you do not have to pay for your spot over the summer, even when your child is not there and at home with you. We will take care of your child as they are our own while in our care. Your child will be cared for by someone who loves children and has a Bachelor's Degree in Education. So your child is not only cared for, but they are learning as well. References are provided when requested. Please feel free to call me and set up a tour of my exciting daycare where children are happy, loved and learning!
Disclaimer: the licensing status was checked when this listing was created. We do our best to keep information up-to-date, but cannot guarantee that it is. You should verify the license/permit/registration status before enrolling in any child care program.

I cannot say enough about Antoinette and her family. Antoinette (who we lovingly call Mama A) and her son, Cameron, do a fantastic job of engaging kids in educational activities, and supporting them in any transitions we are facing at home. They are great partners--communicative, supportive, and understanding. Mama A and her family became an extension of my family when we needed it most (ahem, having my 2nd baby in the height of a crazy... more

The Murray family has been patient, kind, and caring to my children. Ms. Antoinette provided a lesson plan for my daughter with real and tangible progress. I would recommend her and her family to anyone seeking childcare services in this area.

Antoinette has been a gift from god for me and my husband as first time parents. She takes care of my 6 month old baby as if he is her own. She sends me updates, pictures, feeds him well, changes him well, plays with him, and just all around LOVES him. When he first started going to her daycare I was such a worry wart being a first time mom. One day she told me " no matter what we love him". She has stuck true to that saying. When I drop him off... more

It's how you would feel leaving your child with a family member. Also my son has mad so many academic strides and he's eating very healthy. Everyday he wakes up excited for school and he even tells me he loves school.

Antoinette was my savior. We had a terrible time trying to find a daycare for our daughter before meeting her. Our daughter was a preemie so she had some special needs in the beginning. Antoinette and her family welcomed Natalie with open arms and an open heart. She went to Antoinette from 6 months to 2.5 years. We recently moved so we had to switch daycares but if it wasn't for that, Natalie would still be with Antoinette.

This daycare is wonderful. As a Prekindergarten teacher I was looking for smaller facility that would prepare my students for school without getting lost in a large group. The Murray's had my oldest prepared for kindergarten before she was three. My youngest is just turning two and recognizes his colors and shapes. He can count up to fifteen and recognize letters. The quality of care is individualized and amazing. I highly recommend this daycare.
