A message from our childcare home
Children do their best learning when they feel safe, loved, respected, and encouraged.
Welcome to Andrews Family Childcare. Our program combines learning, play, creativity, physical activity, rest, social interaction, and caring relationships to support the whole child.
Our goal is not simply to care for children while parents are working. We want each child to explore, build friendships, develop confidence, strengthen new skills, and enjoy coming through the door each day.
Every child is special. We are proud to provide individualized care and attention while creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment.
Our program
A day designed around how young children really learn.
Children learn through relationships, routines, movement, conversation, creativity, exploration, and play—not by sitting still all day.
