The children begin arriving at Mom’s House starting at 7:30am. Their day consists of a nutritious breakfast, free play, an educational program, a hot lunch, nap time, and an afternoon snack and play. Weather permitting, the children have an outside activity each day.

The age-appropriate educational program offered ensures that all preschoolers leaving Mom’s House are ready to move successfully into a school setting. Mom’s House strives for excellence in childcare by combining childcare expertise with special attention to each single parent and child served.

The infant program is designed to provide stimulation and individual attention. The educational program for our toddlers and preschoolers includes elements of science, multiculturalism, literacy, art, music, health, and safety. We take field trips monthly to expand our learning out into our community.
