Home Daycares in Tewksbury

I started working with children as a teacher in early childhood education programs 36 years ago, and I have been caring for children ever since. Opening my own child care program in my home gave me the opportunity to create the nurturing, engaging environment that I think is so important. I especially love to take children outside to explore and play, but the truth is that so many parts of the day and the week bring me a lot of joy. Through it all, I focus on learning through play. The work is incredibly rewarding, especially when I think about helping so many children work through their individual challenges and achieve personal gains. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow. You can tell how much I love being around children because I've spent decades caring for them. My own son grew up in family child care and now he's my assistant! His own son is in our program! The parents who enroll with us just love how family oriented we are.

I am my cousin’s baby’s godmother, and I have a brother who is much younger than I am. When I was a teenager and young adult, I spent a lot of time taking care of both babies when they were really young and as they grew older. Even before I had kids, I was taking care of kids, and that was great because I love being around them. I find so many things that kids do to be funny and joyful. I have always wanted a career that would allow me to teach and care for kids, and now I know that leading my own daycare program is how I will accomplish that dream.
