Welcome to Nanny Judy's

Welcome to Nanny Judy's. A Place to Communicate with the Families in my Care.

I believe quality childcare makes a difference in the lives of children and their families. I hope to be a good support for working parents. Working in partnership with parents ensures that the needs of the family are met and promotes a sound foundation for children.

There are so many benefits to children being cared for at home. Home is warm and secure; the ideal setting for children to learn and grow. I strive to provide a nurturing and encouraging environment, with age appropriate activities and opportunities to explore. Each child will be cared for according to their individual needs. I believe children who are loved and cared for will in turn learn to love and care for others.

About Me

My photo
I am a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and Professional Ballet Teacher. Over the past 20 years I have taught preschool,daycare, managed my own LNR Family Daycare, and worked in private homes as a Nanny. My newest adventure is opening a Licensed In-Home Multi-Age Childcare. I have now opened Judy's Little Gems. Having a Licensed Childcare Facility in my home is so rewarding. Each day is brand new and exciting for both myself and the children! The word Nanny is very special to me. My British grandmother asked her grandchildren to call her Nanny. I hope to build great memories and relationships with children and families in my role as Nanny; just as my grandmother did.

First off, I am so thankful for Dads!  I must say that our Dads here at daycare are definitely Super!  It makes me so happy to see the amazing relationships our little Gems have with their Dads.  You guys are so patient, loving, playful, respectful and supportive.

This month we started out with a fun week learning about the Ocean.  This is definitely something that we will revisit since it has been fascinating and so fun.  We are learning letters H, I, J, K, L and numbers 30, 11, 12, 13.  We will put some focus on the teen numbers this summer.  We will continue with our French, Spanish and Music Bells.  We are learning to play Row, Row, Row your boat and it is so fun!!   This week our theme is Father's Day and we will be celebrating Dads.  The week of June 16 to 20 we will Monkey around with a Jungle Theme. Does your child have something fun they would like to bring to show our group that ties in with our Jungle Theme?   Friday June 20  we celebrate the First Day of Summer. Please bring a bathing suit, towel and water shoes.  We will have a Backyard Picnic too!  June 25 Yellow Day (a celebration of all things yellow!)
