Welcome to NurturingTinies

We welcome children from 18 months to 8 years old. Our toddler program serves children aged 18 months to 4 years, while our after-school program is designed for school-age children from 5 to 8 years old. Each age group has specially designed activities and learning experiences appropriate for their developmental stage.

We're open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We understand that working parents need reliable childcare, so we maintain consistent hours throughout the year. We're closed on major holidays, and we provide advance notice of any schedule changes.

Parents are responsible for providing meals and snacks for their children. We ask that you pack nutritious, balanced meals and snacks that your child enjoys. We have refrigeration available for items that need to stay cold, and we can warm up food as needed. Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions so we can ensure your child's safety. We believe this approach allows you to maintain your child's familiar eating routine and dietary preferences

Safety is our top priority. We maintain a secure, fenced facility with controlled access. All staff are background-checked, CPR and First Aid certified. We have security cameras, child-proof locks, and age-appropriate safety equipment throughout the facility. Our outdoor play area is fully enclosed and regularly inspected for safety hazards.

We work closely with parents to support potty training at whatever stage your child is in. We follow your home routine and provide gentle, encouraging support. We have child-sized toilets and step stools, and our staff is experienced in making potty training a positive experience. We celebrate successes and handle accidents with patience and understanding.

To protect all children and staff, we ask that sick children stay home. Children must be fever-free for 24 hours before returning. We follow state health department guidelines for communicable diseases. If a child becomes ill during the day, we'll contact parents immediately for pickup. We maintain detailed health records and can administer prescribed medications with proper authorization.

We believe in open communication with parents. We provide daily reports about your child's activities, meals, and mood. We're always available for phone calls or in-person conversations during pickup and drop-off. For important updates, we send text messages or emails. We also schedule regular parent conferences to discuss your child's development and progress.

Yes! We understand that every family has different needs. We offer flexible scheduling options including part-time care, specific days of the week, and drop-in care when space is available. Our after-school program is naturally part-time, running from school dismissal until 6 PM. Contact us to discuss a schedule that works for your family.

Our unique combination of 15+ years of childcare experience and specialized speech therapy background sets us apart. We offer small class sizes for personalized attention, a partnership with Valley Pediatric Therapy for specialized services, and a genuine commitment to each child's individual development. Our warm, home-like environment helps children feel secure while they learn and grow.
