Our Teachers

Jynia Bailey, Co Owner

Jynia Graduated from Rutgers University with an Sociology and Psychology degree. She has worked in Education and now has started to pursue her Masters in Social Work from Howard University where she will eventually become a LCSW. She has a passion for helping children and families. Her favorite things about what she does is developing relationships with children in and outside the classroom. She believes that small class size and the development of a strong community allow her and her team to really know each child as an individual and to provide a solid and supportive foundation in early years.

Felicia Lewis, Co Owner

Felicia has over a decade of experience in early childhood education. Felicia is a proud successful mom of seven strong children. She never thought she would have the time to ever start her own daycare after having seven children. Felicia has a specialty in arts and craft as well as gardening. She has taught children how to garden and has volunteered at local schools and community garden projects. She believes that it takes a village to raise a child and she wants to be apart of your village.

Philosophy

Our mission is to provide a caring, warm and safe environment for children to enjoy developmentally appropriate play experiences. By providing childcare that is flexible to the needs of busy working families and is catered to the child’s needs as decided by parents who know their child best. We provide a welcoming and child friendly environment that involves all members of the community and invites community members into our safe space to expose children to the rich diversity of our city.
