My Philosophy

At Owl’s Hollow, I believe children learn best through play. My play-based program encourages creativity, fosters independence, and supports each child's natural curiosity.

My home environment is safe, comfortable, and nurturing, combining the warmth of home with the benefits of a structured learning setting. Small group sizes allow for individualized attention, ensuring each child receives the support they need to thrive. I value the unique qualities of every child and provide personalized care to meet their developmental needs.

I welcome all children, regardless of abilities or backgrounds, and am committed to an inclusive, discrimination-free environment.

Children in my program enjoy a variety of play experiences that promote social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. I maintain a flexible schedule, adapting to children's interests while providing routine and stability, fostering a love of learning and a strong foundation for future success.

About us

How we started...

From babysitting to nannying, I have always loved working with children. I pursued Early Childhood Education in college while expecting my first child, which fueled my passion for teaching. With extensive experience as a lead teacher for toddlers and 2-year-olds at various learning centers, and time spent working with special needs children, I have gained a deep understanding of inclusive education. When expecting my second child, my husband and I decided to open a home daycare. After nearly two years of preparation, I am thrilled to finally open Owl's Hollow Childcare LLC. Inspired by my education and experiences, I have created a nurturing, educational environment in my home. I am dedicated to providing a loving and supportive space for families seeking a committed and passionate provider for their children. I continue to work hard to excel and create a high-quality program, ensuring the best care and education for the children I work with.
