Mama Daycare

Our Teachers

With over 20 years of experience in childcare, I have dedicated my career to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. As the founder and director of Mama Daycare, I take pride in providing hands-on care, supervising daily activities, and implementing age-appropriate curriculum that balances play, structured learning, and creative exploration. My journey began from a deep love for teaching and a commitment to ensuring every child feels valued, supported, and inspired.

In addition to my own decades of experience, Mama Daycare is supported by a small team of qualified staff who share my passion for early childhood education. Our team includes professionals with backgrounds in child development, early education, and hands-on classroom practice. Together, we bring a wealth of expertise, patience, and dedication to every child in our care. From guiding preschoolers through their ABCs to fostering independence and confidence, our staff is committed to laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

At Mama Daycare, families can feel confident that their children are not only cared for but also encouraged to reach developmental milestones in a warm, family-like setting. My personal mission is to give children the same sense of safety, stability, and joy that inspired me to start this journey over two decades ago.

My child attended for 2 years she loved it. It’s not just a daycare the kids are actually learning which prepares them for kindergarten. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, welcoming, educated daycare I would recommend Mama Daycare.

Miss Sondra is truly amazing! From the moment we started bringing our son to Mama Daycare, he has absolutely loved going each day. The joy and excitement he shows every morning speak volumes about how much he enjoys being there. Miss Sondra treats every child with genuine love and care, making each one feel special and valued. I am especially impressed with the educational services she provides. The activities are not only fun and engaging but also thoughtfully designed to help the kids learn and grow. She focuses on preparing them for school while also encouraging creativity, kindness, and confidence. Knowing that my child is in such a nurturing and educational environment gives me great peace of mind. Mama Daycare truly goes beyond basic childcare—it’s a place where children are supported, inspired, and loved. I wholeheartedly recommend Miss Sondra and her daycare to any parent searching for a trustworthy, caring, and educational program for their little ones.

Ms. Sondra and the staff’s meticulous cleanliness ensured spotless play areas and classrooms. This created a safe and healthy environment where children could play and learn without illness. As a result, both children and parents felt more comfortable and secure. Her staff are wonderful. They take very careful care of the kids, engaging in activities, play-acting, and showing them lots of love. The staff organizes a variety of engaging activities, including arts and crafts sessions where children can express their creativity. They also conduct interactive storytelling sessions that captivate kids’ imaginations and foster reading love. Additionally, they facilitate outdoor playtime, encouraging physical activity and social interaction among the children. The daycare places a strong emphasis on emotional development by creating a warm and supportive atmosphere where children feel valued and understood. The staff are trained to recognize and respond to children’s emotional needs, helping them navigate their feelings and build resilience. Through guided social interactions and emotional coaching, the daycare fosters a sense of empathy and emotional intelligence in the children. If you are looking to enhance your child’s education this daycare is the place for your child. I will recommend this daycare. You won’t regret it.

Philosophy

At Mama Daycare, our program style is designed to nurture the whole child through a balance of structured learning and play-based exploration. We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, curious, and supported in a warm environment.

We incorporate play-based learning to spark creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills, while also offering structured activities such as circle time, phonics practice, and storytelling to support early literacy and cognitive growth. Outdoor exploration and hands-on experiences are a key part of our program, helping children develop their physical abilities, sensory awareness, and connection to the world around them.

Above all, our values center on creating a safe, joyful space where every child feels encouraged, respected, and inspired to learn at their own pace.
