Meet The Owner
It is my pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Frances Torres and I am of Puerto Rican nationality. We are people who faithfully believe in the great power of God and his mercy. I appreciate that you have taken the time to view our website which was created with a lot of love and enthusiasm. I am a mother of 3 adorable children. I have a 15-year-old girl, a 3-year-old boy, and a 5-month-old baby. My husband and I made the decision to create a place for childcare in our home, as it was one of my biggest dreams and it has already come true. Currently, we both work together in our Childcare Group and our motto is to love all the children who arrive, as we would love them like ours. Our Childcare is great in the way, that I, as a mother, would like to find a place for my children to be clean and tidy, disinfected area, decorated and updated, and above all full of love. I have 2 college degrees, a Bachelor of Social Work and an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Teacher Assistant. I am very happy that you are here and oh to meet a little star.

All employees are background checked and Pediatric/Adult CPR and first aid certified. All staff is trained in dealing with emergency situations.
Philosophy
We believe in the benefits of early childhood education for all children. For this reason, we strive to provide a safe, nurturing, loving, and high-quality educational environment that maximizes the intellectual, physical, and emotional growth and development of our children. We have created a welcoming environment for all that provides children with a safe place to learn and explore what makes each of us the same and different. We embrace the philosophy of inclusion and want you to feel it from the first day you walk through our doors to the day your child leaves our Daycare.
Health & Safety Practices
Our staff undergoes training on health and safety practices, including new protocols and standards on pandemic responses so you can be sure of your children. Since our childcare began, we have remained below the community average, which means that our approach has set a new standard within the child care industry, so far we have not been affected by contagion.
We work hard to meet state standards and follow CDC guidelines on ongoing and evolving protocols.
Our main effect in this time of crisis is to protect the health and safety of your child.
