Description:
Small Wonders In-Home childcare has serviced families in Norristown and surrounding communities for over 22 years. Our door first opened as a family childcare and within a couple of years there was a need to expand to a group childcare home.
I love the children and families that come through our door year after year.
It's always been top priority that our families receive top-notch childcare. Every child is unique and my goal is to see that their growth is nurtured daily to it's full potential.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
