Hello, parents, I am the proud owner of Quince Orchard Kiddie Cove. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have dedicated my career to supporting children's health and development. Before opening my daycare, I worked for 10 years as a Certified Medical Assistant at a pediatric hospital, where I gained valuable experience in child health and safety. I am CPR, First Aid, and MAT certified. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and have hands-on experience caring for children through babysitting and assisting at my aunt’s daycare. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and loving caregiver. That’s why I created Quince Orchard Kiddie Cove, a place where children feel at home, learn through play, and develop strong, lasting bonds. Seeing them grow and explore the world brings me so much joy!
