Firefly Home Day Care

Update, to all parents I will be taking children starting Monday April 9.
Just to let you know I am going to be operating this daycare more like a home than a sterile daycare environment. Kinda like going to Grandma's for the day but with crafts and playtime. The children will be using the main floor for all activities. I have 2 free bedrooms where the children can take naps if needed or they can nap on main floor in a designated area if you prefer. I want the children to feel at home and feel this approach can achieve that. If this sounds okay with you please feel free to message.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Daycare will not be opening this week. I Apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hello, welcome!
We are a new, up and coming home daycare that will be opening in Pembroke, Ontario. We are aiming to start March 2018.
We are providing care for toddler & preschool ages. A well rounded safe space, healthy food, physical exercise, games, fun and learning guaranteed! We are two moms (local PSW and Early Childhood Educator) that are teaming up to create a thriving environment for children to help families out.
We know and believe that sometimes getting even the most basic everyday tasks like appointments, groceries, cleaning, showering and even just getting time to have a break can be difficult at times. So whether you need a day or even just a couple of hours, reach out to us! We are here to help.
Quick details: non-smoking house, owners and assistants are CPR, First Aid, and WHYMS certified and currently have openings for 5 children to start; until we see how much care is needed. References available.
If you have any questions, let us know!
We would be more than happy to help if we can.

Hey everyone, it's Billie coming to you from my new page.
I've been searching my heart to find the next step in my career and it was in my heart to ask my friends on Facebook about daycare needs in our community.
I was not disappointed. Many friends came back with positive feedback and encouragement to start a home daycare as it is greatly needed!
So here I am with a loving heart and open arms to take your children through the day when you as a parent need to be away. Will provide all the needs and desires of the most precious people in your life with the help of my daughter in-law (an early childhood educator.)
I am still working out the fine details, but the goal is to open my home to your wee ones in March of this new year.
Feel free to pass the page and my name along to whomever you know that is in need of an honest and loving daycare space.
Thanks for visiting.
