Our Teachers

As the owner, I have my Bachelors and Teaching Certificate in Early Childhood Education and a Masters in Reading & Literacy with a Reading Specialist Certificate.

My assistant and substitute have been working with children for several years.

Testimonials

My son frequently talked about how much fun he had

with Ms. Hardy, the trips to the park they took together, and his friends at her house. I know the impression she had on him will be lasting thanks to her compassion, attention to detail, and level of care she put into everything they did together. While my son was not the only child under her care, it was obvious that she exhibited the same positive and caring attitude to all the children she spends time with.

-Aviva Llorens

I was immediately comfortable with Rut, and had little doubt that she would do an excellent job caring for my son, who was fourteen months old when he started with Rut. I was also reassured by her education and experience.

I was always impressed by how well she balanced caring for multiple children of different ages. And I was struck by how well she managed competing needs. Every child seemed happy in her care, and clearly respected her. I just wish I could still have her caring for my son.

-Stephanie Ridella Vitands

Mrs. Hardy provided her early childhood expertise for our special needs third grade son and our infant daughter for 3 months. During this time, we have witnessed her to be extremely patient, knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She shows compassion for everyone and goes out of her way to share relevant techniques which benefited our children at home as well. Mrs. Hardy’s patience was evident as she was so gracefully able to manage not only our son’s special needs and our infant daughter but other children simultaneously. Her expertise as a former teacher gave her a more in depth understanding which is extremely valuable and rare in her childcare field. With this extra experience, she was able to provide daycare and invaluable teaching as well.

About our program

Our Little Bean’s Daycare believes that all children have individual personalities and uniqueness.

We integrate social emotional, gross/fine motor and cognitive activities, so your child can reach each of their milestones.

We believe that all children learn differently, so we not only teach through child-initiated play, but also through whole/small groups.
