Home Daycares in Norman

Ms. Taqiyah’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 3 months–5 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Oklahoma Human 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. Taqiyah’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.

Childcare has been my passion since I was a teenager! I began providing nanny services to families in my neighborhood during summer breaks and loved it so much I continued through high school and college. After graduation I went right into the world of education and got my elementary certification. Working in both public schools and private childcare settings taught me so much about all types of children and learners, and now I’m able to assess kid’s needs quickly and offer the right level of care to get them where they need to be. I have a positive, optimistic attitude and love being around little ones!

Simply getting to know the young children’s unique personalities is the best part! Every child should have a safe and supportive space they can go to to take these early developmental and social steps. At my program, we work hard to make sure everyone feels heard and valued for who they are. After working in daycare for 30 years, I have had the privilege of meeting some incredible individuals—and I still maintain relationships with some of them and their families! Knowing that I had a small part in their growth is the most incredible feeling. It’s an honor when parents trust you to look after their loved ones, and it’s a joy to be able to bond over a shared love and sense of responsibility for the next generation.

Working with children is so rewarding. My background is in sociology, and I have worked with many children over the years, some who had unique challenges and had been through a lot in life. I love being able to contribute to the well-being of children in positive and lasting ways. I am loving and patient, and I always treat kids equally, and like they are my own. Kids feel comfortable and safe in my home program and with me – and they learn so much here. The work I do is so meaningful in so many ways!
