Home-Based Daycare in Lakeview Terrace

Three nutritious meals made from scratch daily — at no extra cost. We use clean, organic ingredients and never serve anything made with seed oils, refined sugar, artificial dyes, or chemicals you can’t pronounce. No frozen or store-bought pre-made meals here — just real food made with love.

We’re here every day to support your family’s unique schedule. With open hours from 7:00am to 7:00pm, we provide flexibility for working parents, weekend shifts, and everything in between. Whether it’s early drop-off or late pickup, you can count on us. 

Our program is designed to serve a wide age range, from curious preschoolers to confident pre-teens. We create an inclusive, mixed-age environment where younger children can learn from older peers and older kids can practice leadership and empathy. Siblings get to stay together throughout the day, which nurtures comfort, consistency, and stronger family bonds — especially important in early childhood. Activities are developmentally appropriate and thoughtfully adapted to meet each child’s needs. Whether your child is learning to share or exploring their creativity, they’ll find a place to grow here.

We intentionally keep our group size small to ensure every child receives personalized care and attention. This cozy, home-based setting fosters stronger relationships, emotional security, and a sense of belonging. Children are known, loved, and supported — just like in a big extended family. Our small group environment also allows us to tailor learning and play to individual interests and needs.

Our primary language of communication during daycare is English, but we offer Armenian language support to help ease the transition for children who are still learning English. We strive to ensure every child feels safe, understood, and included—regardless of their language background. For children who don’t speak Armenian, this also creates a gentle introduction to a new culture through occasional words, songs, and shared experiences. As part of our commitment to celebrating diversity, we also incorporate Armenian meals into our menu — alongside other cultural cuisines — to introduce children to a variety of traditions and flavors from around the world.

With over twenty years of combined experience in childcare, education, and community programs, our team brings not only expertise — but deep compassion — to every child we care for. Our approach is always individualized, gently tailored to each child’s personality, needs, and pace of development. We don’t believe in “bad kids.” Every child is unique, and we strive to meet them where they are with patience, understanding, and respect. 

Every few months, we plan something extra special—like a bounce house, a backyard water slide, a petting zoo, or carnival-style games. These big activity days create joyful memories and bring everyone together in celebration. They also encourage social bonding, emotional resilience, and pure delight — which is just as important as anything we teach.

Throughout the day, we guide children in simple life skills like cleaning up after themselves,  caring for their belongings, and using kind words with friends. We intentionally teach etiquette as part of daily routines, including polite greetings, table manners, taking turns in conversation, and showing consideration for others. These everyday moments build responsibility, independence, and respect in meaningful ways. Children learn to care for their space and each other, helping them feel empowered, confident, and connected.

Our craft time is full of colors, textures, and imagination. Whether painting, gluing, or building, kids develop fine motor skills, creative expression, and a sense of pride in their work. Hands-on art strengthens both sides of the brain and encourages children to follow their curiosity while learning to focus and finish tasks with care.

Children enjoy the freedom of outdoor play in a safe, supervised space where they can run, jump, and explore. We mix in structured activities like soccer and relay games to promote teamwork, coordination, and healthy habits. Regular outdoor movement helps improve focus, sleep, and emotional well-being — and it's one of the best ways for kids to recharge.

We play classic, active indoor games like Four Corners, Police Officer, and other sensory-rich activities that engage the body and stimulate the brain. These types of play help strengthen critical thinking, improve self-regulation, and activate multiple areas of sensory and cognitive development. Games like these are known to support cognitive flexibility, social awareness, and emotional resilience — all while having a blast. Even on quieter days, our space is full of movement, laughter, and brain-boosting fun.
