A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Keyanna, and I have been in the childcare business for a little over 4 years now. My experience includes daycare settings as well as at home care. When it comes to feeding, playtime, naps, and even potty training; I’m your girl! In my opinion, learning through play is an integral part of development in young children. This is why I’m equipped with a variety of sensory toys/games and physical activities that will be both fun and educational for the kiddos. I pride myself on always putting the children first, and building connections with the entire family to ensure the children are given the best experience. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your little one!
