About A Mother's Love Childcare
A Mother's Love Childcare was founded in 2008 after Ms. Brandi, a Degreed Teacher and Mother, was upset by the quality of education, as well as the lack of love and attention her own children were receiving, by a larger childcare center. She knew that other parents felt the same way and she began her own licensed childcare home. Then in 2018, after 10 years in business, A Mother's Love Childcare expanded into a facility!
A Mother's Love Childcare utilizes an emergent learning process where each day is structured but with room for change! Each day includes work time, circle times, outside play and choices of free play to name just a few! Our program provides the right balance of child-initiated and teacher-initiated activities that allow children of all ages to succeed and develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our curriculum is designed for the individual child in mind to match their developmental needs. Our theme-based curriculum rotates each month and will help get your child ready to meet their developmental milestones!
