All parents want to make sure their children are being taught and looked after by responsible caring adults. On this page I have the opportunity to introduce myself and my family.  

Owner's Background Information:

My name is Tonya. I am a loving wife and mother of two. My husband and I have owned our home in Town N Country since 1996. Our home is smoke free and demestic pet free.  I started in child care straight out of high school, working for a daycare facility for 1 year. Then while attending college I worked full time as a private Nanny. After college and earning a BS degree I worked as a Social Worker for the State of Florida for 7 years.
In July 2007 I gave birth to my 2nd daughter, at that time I decided to stay home with my children and become licensed to offer low cost, quality child care for families.  I know first hand how important it is to find a trusted provider at a reasonable price. I have always loved working with children and after 7 years of working as a social worker. I meet many families in need of stable, quality, low cost, childcare. This gives me a chance to help families in my community.
