About A Mother's Love Childcare
Founded in 2008 by Ms. Brandi, a degreed teacher and mother, A Mother's Love Childcare was born out of her frustration with the lack of quality education and the absence of personal attention her children received at larger childcare centers. Recognizing that other parents likely felt the same, Ms. Brandi opened her own licensed childcare home, offering a more loving and nurturing environment.
In 2018, after 10 years of successful operation, A Mother's Love Childcare expanded into a larger facility to accommodate growing demand and continue providing excellent care to even more families.
Our program utilizes an emergent learning process, where each day is structured but flexible enough to allow for growth and change. The daily schedule includes work time, circle time, outdoor play, and free play choices—just a few of the activities designed to engage your child.
We offer the perfect balance of child-initiated and teacher-initiated activities, giving children the opportunity to succeed and grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our theme-based curriculum, which rotates each month, is tailored to meet the developmental needs of each individual child and helps them reach key milestones on their educational journey.
At A Mother's Love Childcare, every child is nurtured, respected, and provided with the tools they need to thrive!
