We also provide before and after-school care for school-age kids up to 12 years old. We take pride in offering an inclusive child care program.

About Me:
Hi Parents! I’m the owner and lead caregiver at Georgian Colonies Playhouse. I have over 12 years of hands-on experience in early childhood education, and I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and MAT. Becoming a parent deepened my love for working with children. I realized how meaningful it is to teach, nurture, and help little ones grow. That’s what inspired me to open this daycare. I wanted to create a space where children feel loved, safe, and supported every day. Here, I see myself not just as a caregiver, but as a trusted partner to parents: a “second parent” who provides guidance, attention, and genuine care. This isn’t just a job, it’s my purpose.
Mission:
At Georgian Colonies Playhouse, our mission is to create a warm, respectful, and joyful learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow at their own pace. With years of experience and a deep understanding of childhood development, we’ve designed a program that supports each child’s unique journey. We maintain a clean, welcoming space and serve wholesome meals that promote lifelong healthy habits. Children engage in developmentally appropriate activities that promote language, motor, and social-emotional skills through meaningful play. We’re committed to building a strong foundation where your child can flourish academically and emotionally.
Daily Routine:
Our day begins with child-led activities, allowing little ones to explore freely while waiting for breakfast. After a healthy breakfast, we come together for morning circle time, where every child has a chance to share and connect. Arts and crafts follow, sparking creativity and imagination, then it’s time for a mid-morning snack. If the weather is nice, we head outside for walks and outdoor play, enjoying nature and fresh air. Lunchtime is followed by quiet reading time to build early literacy skills, then children rest in our dedicated nap room for a two-hour nap. In the afternoon, we offer hands-on activities that support physical and cognitive development. I also provide a private breastfeeding and nursing room for parents, offering comfort and flexibility. For interested families, I can introduce children to Amharic, my native language, adding a cultural enrichment experience. Throughout the day, our focus is on creating a caring, supportive space where your child can learn, play, and grow with confidence. Thank you for considering Georgian Colonies Playhouse! To schedule a visit or learn more, contact us through CareLuLu! We look forward to meeting your family! 😊

She has been such a wonderful daycare provider for our son - she is thoughtful, careful, loving, clean and so organized. We feel so lucky to have her take care of our youngest child. Her approach is also very thoughtful - she is very considerate of the parents. We would highly recommend her to anyone with a young child looking for care!

Words might not be enough to truly express my gratitude for this family child care. I refer to this caregiver as a second mom to my son. He started attending when he was 9 months old, and now he is close to celebrating his 4th birthday. He is very happy to go there every day. She has taught my son everything he needs to know for his developmental milestones. She is passionate about all the kids, and every day I see them learn new skills. ... more

The caregiver is just too good to be true for Christian and I. I have not seen a day go by where my son has not done 2-3 activities a day. I surely was not expecting all this education and activities for a 2.5 year old to be honest. Her dedication and enthusiasm in looking after these children is just so heart warming. knowing my son is in great hands makes me focus on my work !

I am honored to have my daughter enrolled with Miss S. as her teacher. She is patient, kind, a great guider and a wonderful mentor for young kids. She teaches them, guides them and plays no games unless of course its play time. Isla has learned so much in the time with Miss S. and loves her. I am lucky that in my daughters first time in out the house daycare we got Miss S. I know the kids she gets will carry on her love and what she teaches.

We have found a wonderful caregiver for our child with this provider. She is professional, smart, and very caring. We fully trust leaving our child in this provider's care. She keeps us updated throughout the day on how our child is doing and provides a very thorough end-of-day report detailing meals, naps, and daily activities. She is hands-on all day with the children - reading, singing, and teaching. This provider is very knowledgeable about... more
