Our Teachers

Opening my own daycare has always been a dream of mine and I am so glad it has finally come true. I have about 5 years of daycare experience working at a couple of different in-home daycares. The reason why I wanted to open in home rather than a center was just for the comfort of being in my own home and for also making the children more comfortable.

Philosophy

At Homestead Daycare, my ultimate goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children, while also fostering the development of strong social skills.

Location

Homestead Daycare is located a mile away from Stephenson school, walking distance from Erickson park, and 600 feet off of highway 41. Not only am I close to all of these great places, but in a quiet and safe neighborhood.

About our program

Welcome to our home!

Hi! I am Sara! I recently got married to Tanner Jacques in June. He has been very supportive with me opening a daycare because we both love kids and he knows how passionate I am when it comes to children. We hope to eventually have a family of our own. We have a dog named Nova; she is our baby. She is 4 years old and is very gentle when it comes to being around kids. She loves getting to know people.
