Markham Family Childcare

It's not even close to being done and we still have to build another one with 6 slots, but we will now finally have some organization for the kids and parents instead of chaos!!

Each cubby will also have the child's name and picture on it to help them figure out where their stuff goes, and also seeing the spelling of their names. ♥️

🎉 We’re Feeling the Love—3 Years in a Row! 🎉

We are beyond honored and humbled to share that Markham Family Childcare has been voted Best of the Best Daycare in Marshall County for the 3rd year in a row! 🥹❤️

To every family who has trusted us with your most precious little humans, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This isn’t just a job to us—it’s our life’s work. It’s early mornings, silly giggles, snack crumbs, snuggles, and watching kids grow into their personalities one magical day at a time.

Being able to love on your kiddos, teach them, cheer for them, guide them, and help shape their little hearts is a privilege we’ll never take for granted. We love what we do with everything we’ve got—and to be recognized by our community for it again just means the world.

Thank you for your support, your votes, your kind words, and most of all, your trust. We pour so much love, time, and intention into every moment of our day, and being your chosen childcare family three years running is the greatest honor.

Here’s to another beautiful year of learning, laughter, and love. ♥️👶🏽👧🏼👦🏾

With full hearts,
Amber Markham & Tim James Markham
