Nest Family Child Care is a home-based state licensed mixed age infant and toddler program that supports each child’s development through one-on-one attention and group activities with children. We provide a warm home-like and family atmosphere that can ease some of the stress that children experience when transitioning from being home with parents into the care of others.

Small Teacher to Child Ratio
Because our teacher to child ratio is currently 1:3, we are able to give the children in our program lots of individual attention.

Age-Appropriate, Challenging & Child-Centered Activities
We believe in a balanced approach with of providing children information through enriching experiences, activities and conversation with teachers and other children. Each activity is planned to be challenging but also developmentally appropriate for the specific age of the children in our care. We help children develop the strong social, cognitive and emotional skills that they need to become confident and independent thinkers and speakers, problem solvers, and good friends. Learn more our curriculum.

Mixed-Age Groups
Mixed-age groups offer children opportunities to develop and practice valuable social skills. This also can be a wonderful environment for siblings, because they are not separated, and this can ease their transition into a new child care setting. Older children learn to adapt their language and social skills to relate with younger children, often learning patience, compassion and problem solving skills. In addition, younger children are challenged by older children and often engage in more complex activities than when they play with same age peers.
