Brandy and Dave Rodriguez - Director/Owners

We started this company back in 2007. Pregnant with our first child, we strived to find a place that fit exactly what we were looking for safety, cleanliness, friendly, something that felt like home. After months of searching we felt pretty defeated and then Brandy decided to change her career path from Child Psychology to Education. We convinced Dave's parents to move up from Florida while Brandy finished her degree in General Education. We opened a small licensed daycare in our home in 2008 and expanded to our current location in 2017. What went from trying to supply adequate care for our first born, who is now 16 (where has the time gone?) and has since turned into our love for helping children grow, learn and giving parents the comfort and peace of mind that we were once looking for. We have been married for 15 years and have four wonderful children 26, 18, 16 and 11. We became foster parents 12 years ago and we have blessed enough to adopt 2 children since then. Through this adventure, we have meet so many wonderful and loving kids. We are so happy and blessed to get to be apart of all of your families lives everyday. Thank you for trusting us with the most important things in your life, your kiddos!
