Home Daycares in Springfield

Young children make the world feel new and exciting. A good caregiver is eager to see things from new perspectives, and kids have such a unique point of view! As an experienced educator and mother of four, I can honestly say that no two children are alike. It’s a joy to see what they’re passionate about and what subjects or activities make them glow with wonder. After working in public schools for a while and raising my own kids, I decided to open a daycare so I could combine my love of caregiving with my passion for early childhood education. There is no better way to spend the day than by introducing a great group of kids to something that might be really meaningful to them.

Young children are so full of potential. They can do anything they set their minds to, and that journey starts with daycare. Every kid deserves a safe space, somewhere they feel comfortable being themselves and asking questions. They also deserve a mentor or guardian who is going to have their best interests at heart. I’ve always had a knack for looking after kids. I was always the go-to person in the family to babysit. When my niece (age 12) needed a place to live, I was happy to open my home to her. Starting a daycare is my way of offering the children in my community this quality care and helping them with these important first steps.

Every child is unique and brings something special to our daycare community. I love being around kids and celebrating them for who they are! I was a youth camp counselor for fourteen years, a lifeguard and swim teacher, and then went to college to study education. Now I’m lucky enough to have a home with plenty of space for my own home daycare program! Being able to teach, use my creativity, and serve my community by taking great care of children is a blessing.

All children deserve our attention, our dedication, and a quality education. Once they have access to these things, there’s truly no limit to what they can achieve! Growing up in a family with 16 brothers and sisters meant I was always around children and eager to help guide those younger than me. It’s a responsibility I took and continue to take very seriously. In fact, after having my own children, I also became a foster parent so I could give children in need a chance. In the 30 years that I’ve been a foster parent, I have met some great kids who have grown up to become even more remarkable adults. For me, caregiving is more than a passion. It’s a lifelong commitment to the children. Starting my own daycare program meant that I was able to create a safe space for kids to come and be themselves without judgment or reservation. Watching a child come out of their shell a little is the most rewarding thing! At my program, I have the joy of helping children thrive

Although every child’s development is different, they all have one thing in common: they never ceased to amaze us with their excitement and their passion. They have a natural inclination towards discovery that makes learning such a joy. It’s incredibly rewarding knowing that you’ve helped a child find a book they love, or introduced them to a kind of art that speaks to them, or taught them a skill that’s going to help them down the line. Together, we’re building towards their future success.

Children and parents love Ms. Olimpia’s daycare in Springfield for its small-scale, personal feel. Fully licensed by the state, her program focuses on infants and toddlers, and the mixed-age range helps children learn to socialize in a small group setting. Parents often prefer home daycare when looking for options that are closer to home, where they can develop a long-term relationship with the provider.

Children have so much ahead of them! Every day brings discovery. At this age, they’re learning so much about the world and also about themselves. There’s nothing quite like introducing a kid to a story or a song that they really, genuinely love. It could mean you have a writer or a musician on your hands! With a little patience and guidance, there’s no telling what can happen, and that surprise is half the fun of working with children. Caregiving comes really naturally to me, personally. I’ve always been a nurturing person. I started working with the elderly, but after having four kids of my own (ages 10, 7, 2, and 7 months!), I realized how energizing it is to spend time nourishing the next generation.

Working with little ones brings so many rewards. Caring for people is something I have been doing for a long time, as a nurse and a mother - and I love it! Even though I loved being a nurse, the schedule just was not working well for me or my family, and I knew I needed more balance in my life. Starting down a new path has been exciting - and beginning as an assistant in a daycare and working my way up to having my own program has been an amazing journey. Now that I have my own program, I am more passionate than ever about caring for kids!
