A Home Away From Home Since 2008

What began with a heartfelt vision has grown into a thriving early childhood community built on trust, connection, and a genuine love for children. Dana's Daycare was created with one guiding belief: children learn and grow best when they feel safe, loved, respected, and understood.

​

We understand that child care is never “just child care.” It is a child's home away from home — where babies develop trust, toddlers discover independence, preschoolers find their voices, and school-age children build confidence and friendships. It's also where families find reassurance, support, and a community that cares deeply about their children.

Nurturing, Age-Appropriate Care for Every Stage

From tiny newborns to busy school-agers, our programs are designed to support each child's individual development while giving families dependable, flexible child care they can feel confident about.
