At HDC, we’ve proudly served families in Northwest Ohio for over 17 years, providing a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for children to holistically grow, learn, and thrive. Heather's Day Care is a highly-rated preschool and child care center that has been serving the Defiance community since 2008. With over 16 years of dedicated service, we have grown to be an integral part of the community, known for our commitment to providing a safe, secure, and nurturing environment for every child in our care. At the heart of Heather's Day Care are our core values, represented by the acronym C.H.I.E.F:
Communication: We believe in open, honest communication between staff, children, and parents. We keep parents informed about their child's progress and maintain a dialogue to ensure we're meeting each child's needs. Helpfulness: Our team is always ready to lend a hand, whether it's helping a child tie their shoes or aiding parents in navigating their child's developmental milestones. We believe in doing what's right, even when no one is looking. Excellence: We strive to provide the best care and education for every child. We continually seek ways to improve our services and programs to ensure we're delivering the highest standard of child care. Fun: Learning should be fun! We incorporate play and enjoyment into our daily routines, ensuring children are engaged and excited to learn. Our mission at Heather's Day Care is simple yet profound - to foster an environment that encourages self-exploration and self-regulation in each child. We believe deeply in the individuality and unique growth pace of every child, and we strive to ensure our programs reflect this belief. Our innovative and experiential learning activities are designed to stimulate curiosity, promote creativity, and encourage critical thinking. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to parents. At Heather's Day Care, we aim to create an environment where parents feel at ease entrusting their children to us on a daily basis. We understand the weight of this responsibility and do not take it lightly. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled care to every child in our center, all while ensuring parents wear a smile of satisfaction. We are proud to be recognized as the only 5-star rated child care facility in Defiance County, a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest standard of care and education. Our dedicated team of professional caregivers and educators work tirelessly to facilitate the holistic development of each child, encompassing cognitive, physical, and emotional aspects. We cater to children from newborns through to 13-year-olds, ensuring that each age group receives age-appropriate care and learning experiences. At Heather's Day Care, we're not just a daycare - we're a family.
