Our Teachers

My name is Amanda Swire. I have always been a nurturing and caring person, especially when it comes to children. I have been working with children for five years now. I started babysitting and eventually moved to childcare centers, where I learned much more through government licensing. Everything I’ve learned along this journey has led me to want to start my own In-Home Daycare. I enjoy teaching little ones and believe in creating a fun and safe space for them to learn and grow.

Philosophy

I aim to have everyone learn together as a group but also give each child individual attention, as they are all their own persons. We will be working with a curriculum that parents will be informed about every step of the way. Our values will be all about encouraging children to use their imaginations while learning to create a positive space for learning.

Location

Our location is in a very family-friendly neighborhood equipped with our own Recreation Center. We have many amenities, such as a splash pad, playground, and much more! It’s one-way in/out, which minimizes traffic going through neighborhoods. The neighborhood has security and security cameras for added safety. My home is also equipped with a security system and childproofed all over to ensure children are always safe.
