Testimonials
I cannot say enough about Nancy and the staff at Nancy's Daycare. My son was in their care from 10 months to almost 4 and to this day we still stop by to say hello. The care that he received was incredible. Nancy treats each child as if they were her family. It was so scary to think about returning to work after maternity leave, but I felt safe every day leaving him with Nancy.
I am so grateful to be a part of the Nancy family and am so happy that he had such a loving and caring experience. Thank you!

My kids were really happy to go to Nancy’s day care. She's fostering in an environment which instils children with confidence and a strong self of selves. She shows them constant patience, understanding and kindness, but also allowed me to return to work in peace.

"I wish I could be a baby again so I could stay with Nancy forever" - Maddie (age 5).
I cannot thank or credit Nancy enough with helping my partner and I raise our children. They are caring, confident, empathetic, and most importantly, loved children. After attending Nancy's from age 1 to JK, they were well-prepared for the routines and play-based curriculum and had developed the emotional regulation skills that are necessary for a successful transition to kindergarten. The relationship with Nancy is professional and she quickly becomes family. From the first time you meet her and she gets down on the floor with your child, you know that after nearly two decades of experience she has the expertise about children's needs and development that cannot be taught. Our children still speak of their time with her fondly years later. Throughout Covid, Nancy displayed a vigilant approach to safety and navigated the changing situation with care and in relationship with all members of her daycare community. I have and will continue to highly recommend Nancy to all families with daycare and preschool-aged children.

My children went to this daycare many years ago. The owner is the most wonderful woman. My children learned a lot here, made lifelong friends, and to this day still talk fondly of their daycare days at Nancy's.

Nancy creates a warm and nurturing environment for her charges. My son started there at 9mo, through until just before JK. She strikes a good balance between structured activities and imaginative and active play, and the kids learn to respect each other and themselves. Nancy was always incredibly reliable, and I really appreciated the small group setting - when younger my son learned to hold his own with the older toddlers, and as he became the older kid he learned to be gentle and understanding of others' needs. He certainly liked Nancy's home cooking better than my own, and I was always completely confident that he was in good hands with her!

FAQ
Q: What kind of food is served? How are dietary requirements met?
A balanced diet of home cooked meals is prepared on a weekly basis. As part of a child's intake meeting, we will request information about dietary needs. This will help to determine the types of meals that are cooked on a weekly basis.
Q: My child doesn't nap. What do they do during the time when the group is scheduled to nap?
There are multiple places for children to sleep so that those who need a rest can have some peace and quiet. While some children may not nap during the designated nap time, we accommodate them by encouraging a quiet and restful time in which they can complete activities, such as looking at books, independently.
Q: I have to return to work earlier than expected. Are you able to care for children under a year old?
Generally speaking, yes. It depends on the number of children in the group. At the same time, if this is the case, please reach out and we are happy to chat about different options.
