Home Daycares in Edenwald

Young children inherently have such good hearts. They bring a curiosity and openness to the world that is inspiring to work with. They have so much energy when it comes to learning new things—whether it’s reading or the rules of a new game. They are eager to learn. Ever since I was a teenager, I have enjoyed being a guide for those younger than myself. I have raised three children of my own, and I am now incredibly lucky to have grandchildren as well! It’s amazing to be able to pass down traditions, knowledge, and love through the generations.

Young children are such a beautiful reminder of how special human connection and bonding is. Every kid is unique, and each one needs something different in order to succeed. As a mother of a now-22-year-old, I have had a lot of experience with childcare. As a lifelong educator and caregiver, it’s such a joy to find the things that make them feel comforted and excited to be there. In 2006, I had a daycare, and there was a little boy who had a hard time transitioning into a new schedule. He had tantrums and was constantly upset about not being home with his family. His parents and I worked closely to create a routine that made him feel good about daycare. (His family even told me they stuck with some of our daily practices to get him used to going to school.) It was incredible to see the progress he made every day. In no time, he was happy to come to my program and be with his new friends.

Ms. Gladys’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 1 month–6 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Office of Children and Family Services. That way you know providers have completed a 3-part background record check, and that their home environments have passed a detailed health and safety inspection. Ms. Gladys’s daycare is a great option for parents that want that small-scale, personal feeling with a daycare provider you can develop a real relationship with.

A good daycare program teaches children all kinds of important things about life! We learn so much in my program about so many different subjects – math, science, art, civics - and we also learn about manners, respect for others, and how to give back to our community. Children are so smart – they all have genius inside them and helping them bring that genius out and let it shine is so meaningful. I began my program because I knew I had a lot to offer to families in my community, and I feel very lucky to be able to work with so many special children and show them how much fun learning can be!
