“I have been working in a day care for almost six years and I love every moment I spend with the kids. Cute moments, silly moments, crazy moments, loving moments and every moment is always a new experience you can share with the children, staff, and families. Children have honest eyes and true souls and when they say, “I love you”, you feel appreciated and loved.
Ms. Sarah Khan
I have been a Director for 8 years now and I cannot begin to express what a joy it has been in my life. It has been an honor to touch the lives of so many children and families. I am committed to the emotional, educational, and physical well- being and development of all of the children in our program. We do our best to make our school a home away from home for all of the children that we educate and care for. We want the families to feel comfortable and secure when they bring their children to us, and to know that they will be educated, cared for, and loved. I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree from Roosevelt University in Psychology.
