Our Story
What We’re All About
The Nanny Day Care adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When children are exposed to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave my Daycare, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
