A Loving Start
Built on the foundations of a Christian home
Join our learning family — established 2009. We use the Multi-Age Comprehensive curriculum, a research-backed, play-based program aligned with all 50 states, NAEYC, and Head Start, and built on the Science of Reading.
Where Learning Feels Like Home
At Kiddie Care Early Learning Program, we use the Multi-Age Comprehensive curriculum — a research-backed, play-based program designed specifically for family childcare homes with mixed-age groups (ages 18 months–5 years). It includes Experience Preschool plus the Little Learners Toddler Teacher Guide, which uses the same curriculum kit to simplify activities, games, and art projects for younger children.
Guided by Christian values, we cultivate an environment where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. Mixed-age groupings foster natural mentorship and social development, just like a loving family.
Tailored for Every Stage
From curious infants to active toddlers and preschoolers, our programs adapt to your child's unique pace and personality. In a perfect sized group for individual and group experiences

A Peek Inside Our Days

Mrs. Tammy
Owner & The Caregiver
Hi, I'm Mrs. Tammy! I've been caring for children in my home since 2009, and it has been the greatest joy of my life. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and celebrated — and that starts with a warm, faith-filled environment that truly feels like family.
I'm passionate about early childhood education and committed to giving each child the individual attention they deserve. When you drop your little one off at Kiddie Care, you're not just choosing a daycare — you're choosing a second home. We are a professional environment with a routine. As a group of 8 children we get to offer the best of both worlds, small enough for one on one and large enough for preschool feel. 1 provider 50 weeks out of the year.

"Kiddie Care has been such a blessing for our family. Our daughter lights up every morning when we drop her off. Mrs Tammy truly love these children."
"We love that faith is part of the providers core values. Our son comes home saying a prayer before eating his dinner. It's exactly the foundation we wanted."
"The mixed-age approach is wonderful. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence watching and learning from the older kids. While helping with the babies. It really does feel like family."
