Nelu's Family Daycare

As a Licensed Family Childcare Service, at Nelu's Day Care, we strive to help each child develop his or her greatest potential physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our goal is to provide an integral child care service that benefits both a child's development as well as his or her parents' work and education schedule.
