Meet the Business Owner

Valerie M.

Business Owner

I grew tired of the Corporate enviornment and decided to follow my passion in careing for children. I am a single mother of two grown proffessional males. They proved to me that my techniques are consistant with rearing children in the right direction.

Children give me such joy even when they are at their worst temperment. It is pleasure watching them develop from infancy, toddlers and into school age. A lot happens to their little minds that are like sponges. How can one not have a blessed day after working with them.

This career choice has had it’s ups and down’s but I remain strong and faithful to this decision that to this day I don’t regret.
