Our Teachers

Our teachers are hand selected for their attention to detail, time in the industry and compassion for the children in their care. I the owner, am first a wife and parent. I understand the needs of families and look to address them by meeting our mission of “Making freedom in child care a reality.”

Philosophy

Our first value is that of autonomy for parents, and joy for children. We want children visiting with us to be excited to spend time at our facility, because they know they will be met with love and playful fun. We are here to be a dependable resource to parents, helping them to know that excellent child care coverage is only a reservation away.

Location

Our facility is located on the edge of a residential neighborhood. Next door is Hayes park, a 10 acres playscape in the Edison Neighborhood with wooded areas, walking paths and a swing set. Our building is freshly renovated throughout, with a 40 by 60 playground space of its own-twice the requirement of a child care playground. We are nestled in the heart of Kalamazoo city, just 3 minutes for access to I-94 from Sprinkle Rd.
