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.

September 2015 at Judy's Little Gems

It's amazing how fast the time goes when you are having fun!  Here we are mid September and rolling into Fall with lots of Joy and Enthusiasm.  It has been so enjoyable getting to know our new children.  We are all settling into a nice routine and spending time enjoying the last days of summer weather.   What an amazing Summer!!
Thanks to Linden for installing our new outdoor Tire Toy.  The kids are busy exploring different ways to play on it.  It has been great for jumping, climbing and recently as a car race track, using the mats around the outside.  Thanks Keanna for taking this neat video of the kids!


This month our themes are Back to School, Nursery Rhymes, Outdoor Preschool Activities, Friendship and Team Work.  We will be playing Board Games, learning new sight words, Practicing our Good Manners, learning about the Changing Seasons and listening to Classical Music.  We have some fun new activities to try for developing our fine motor skills.  Our cooking activities are Banana Muffins   (They turned out super moist and yummy!)  and this week we are going to make Apple Pie!

I will be sending home a Kindergarten Readiness Checklist this week.  It is an overview of the skills that we will be working on throughout the year.  We approach these skills in a playful and relaxed manner, using fun games and activities.  

Thank you to my amazing Families.  I love you and appreciate your support in providing the best care  possible for our little Gems!  Every year it becomes more and more clear to me how lucky I am to do the work I do.  <3  Judy.
