About Us

Where Play Feels Like Home

At Extended Family Daycare, we celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of our children, families, and community. Every child is welcomed as part of our extended family.

Our program is rooted in play-based learning and early childhood education, where curiosity leads the way and children grow naturally through exploration, imagination, and joyful play. We design meaningful experiences that support each child’s emotional, social, physical, and educational development.

Nurturing hearts, growing minds isn’t just our motto, it’s at the heart of everything we do. We offer quality care, educational play, and flexible hours to support your child and your family.

With a small group size, each child receives the attention they need to feel seen, heard, and supported. Our days are filled with music, stories, creative art, outdoor play, and plenty of opportunities to build friendships and social-emotional skills. Whether it’s a cozy story time or a messy sensory activity, our goal is to create a place where children feel safe, loved, and excited to come each day.

OUR MISSION

• To Nurture Emotional Growth: Creating a safe, loving environment where children feel understood while building confidence, empathy, and resilience.
• To Foster Social Connections: Encouraging friendships, cooperation, and respect through collaborative play and group activities.
• To Encourage Physical Development: Strengthening motor skills and healthy habits through age-appropriate movement and play.
• To Inspire a Love of Learning: Offering hands-on activities that spark curiosity, creativity, and early learning – all while having fun.
• To Support Families with Flexibility: Providing flexible hours to meet the needs of busy families while maintaining enriching experiences for children.

We are committed to providing quality care that nurtures each child’s growth, creativity, and love of learning in a family-oriented atmosphere where parents can feel confident knowing their child is safe, cared for, and encouraged every step of the way.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe every child is unique, with their own personality, strengths, and learning style. Early childhood is a time of wonder, exploration, and tremendous growth and our role is to gently guide and support each child as they discover the world around them.

Children learn best through play, hands-on experiences, and meaningful relationships. Our program nurtures the whole child: emotionally, socially, and cognitively, in a warm, engaging environment where each child feels valued and inspired to learn.

Each day is thoughtfully planned around the children’s interests, offering opportunities for creativity, problem-solving, and self-expression through art, music, science, math, language, dramatic play, and movement. We are dedicated to fostering a love of learning, confidence in trying new things, and the joy of growing at one’s own pace.

Nurturing hearts, growing minds.
