My Childcare Philosophy

As a Family Childcare Provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy place for children. They can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially at their own pace. Research has shown children learn through play and benefit from a structured yet flexible schedule. Activities will be offered activities which stimulate sensory, motor development, language development, writing, reading skills, and social interaction. The development of a strong self-esteem is also a major goal. Children will be taught to respect themselves, each other, adults, pets and property.

Lil Angels Home Daycare is a dream come true for me. I love working with children and this gives me the chance to share my love of children with you and your family. As a Provider this also gives me a chance to work closely with children while teaching them.
I have been in business for 3 years now and have several references and experiences I can share with you and your child. As a mother of two I know how hard it can be to find just the right daycare to trust with your little angels and I am hoping you will give me that chance.
