About the Provider
I am an in-home childcare provider and have been in the business for almost forty years. I studied elementary education in college, but when I had my first child, during my senior year of college, my husband and I decided to have me stay home. Opening my day care back then, was the one, single best decision I¿ve made in my life. I love what I do, and consider all the children and families whom I¿ve served over the years part of my own big family!
