WELCOME
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about my daycare and the services I provide. Almost Home Daycare offers Full Time childcare for children 12 weeks to 5 years old and before and after school care for grades K-8 for Woodland District 50.
My goal is to provide a fun and safe learning environment for your child, while encouraging social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. Your child will receive personal and individualized care in a warm and loving home where they can feel safe and happy and can begin to build confidence and a positive self image.
I am certain that taking the time to meet with me and discuss your childcare needs will be time well spent.
For current opening information and enrollment procedures, please visit the enrollment page on this website.
