ABOUT US
I have always loved children and helping people. In high school my first job was babysitting. I worked in a hospital for a while, but after being laid off. I made the decision to do something I've always wanted to do. Do something where I work with children. My grandmother always wanted an Adult Day Care and encouraged me to do something similar a daycare for children.
I took the money I received from the layoff, researched and learned all I could about running a daycare and opened a family home day care in the basement of my home in 1999. I had 10 children and ran the daycare based on center based on daycare center rules and regulations. I had two classes was graded by the state as a center. My rating was 3 stars.
Next I rented a house and turned it into a group day care and increased the number of children from 10 to 15 children. Over the years, my daycare has been located in houses until 2022 when I made the decision to make the leap of faith and purchase a building in East Ridge, TN.
The grand opening for the facility in East Ridge, TN was May of 2020. The facility has an infant's room that is totally separated from the other class rooms with its own bathroom, sink, mini-refrigerator and back door that will allow them to access the playground when it's not in use by the other children.
Our kitchen allows us to prepare healthy meals and snacks. Our dining area allows the children to eat together. As you enter the building the lobby is separated from the classroom. The layout of the facility provides more of a school environment. (Click here form more information about classes at the East Ridge, TN location)
On August 19, 2023 we will open our second location in Rossville, GA. The center will provide quality care and an educational program for children 1 to 5 years old. Click here for more information about this location)
Over the years children who were once toddlers in Little Kings and Queens Child Development Center have enrolled their little ones here. We have provided quality childcare to over 900 children.
