A Family-Owned Childcare Center Built on Trust
At Peggy’s ChildCare, our story starts with family. We have been family-owned since 2002 by Peggy and Jim Pickering, and that family-centered approach still shapes everything we do. We know parents are not just looking for a licensed daycare. They are looking for people they can trust with the most important part of their world.
That is why we work hard to create an environment that feels like a home away from home. Our childcare center is warm, welcoming, and built around real relationships. We want every child to feel known here, every parent to feel comfortable here, and every day to feel like a place where children are cared for as individuals, not just part of a headcount.
For us, childcare is not about simply filling time until pickup. It is about helping children feel secure, supported, and excited to learn.
A Safe Learning Environment for Every Age
Parents need a place where their children can be safe while they work, but they also want that place to help their child grow. That is why we focus on creating a safe learning environment that supports both nurturing and education.
We care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old, which means families can find support through many different stages of childhood in one trusted place. Whether your child is just beginning with infant care, moving into toddler daycare, getting ready for school in our preschool program, or needing dependable after school care, we are here with age-appropriate care and a consistent, caring approach.
Our classrooms are bright, safe, and engaging. We believe children learn best when they feel comfortable enough to explore, play, ask questions, and build confidence. That is why we focus on spaces that inspire creativity, curiosity, and connection.
Infant Care and Toddler Daycare With a Gentle, Personal Touch
The earliest years matter so much. Babies and toddlers need more than routine care. They need warmth, patience, consistency, and attentive caregivers who understand how important these first experiences are.
Our infant care program is designed to give babies a loving, secure environment where they can begin developing trust and comfort outside the home. We know how emotional this stage can be for parents, too, so we make communication and personal care a top priority.
As children grow, our toddler daycare program helps them begin exploring the world around them in a safe and structured way. Toddlers are full of curiosity, energy, and personality, and we embrace that. Through guided play, social interaction, and hands-on learning, we help them build important early childhood skills while still giving them the nurturing attention they need.
Preschool and Private Kindergarten That Prepare Children for What Comes Next
A strong early start can make a big difference in how children feel about learning later on. Our preschool program is built to help children develop the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need as they get ready for school.
We believe in learning through play every day because children learn best when they are actively engaged. Fun, structured activities help build confidence, cooperation, communication, and problem-solving in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. Our goal is to prepare children for the next stage without making learning feel forced or overwhelming.
We also offer private kindergarten support for families who want a more personal and nurturing setting as their child begins their educational journey. If you have a child getting ready for elementary school, this can be an excellent way to help them build a strong foundation in a caring environment.
After School Care That Gives Parents Peace of Mind
For school-age children, the day does not always end when the school bell rings. Parents still need dependable care in the afternoon, and children need a place where they can unwind, stay engaged, and feel supported.
Our after school care program gives families a reliable option that feels safe, familiar, and well-structured. Instead of worrying about where their child will go after school, parents can feel confident knowing they are in a licensed childcare facility that prioritizes both safety and positive daily experiences.
This program is especially valuable for busy families who need consistency. Children benefit from being in a familiar environment with caring staff, helpful routines, and room to grow socially and emotionally.
Small Ratios, Caring Staff, and Personal Attention
One of the things that sets Peggy’s ChildCare apart is our commitment to maintaining a small teacher-to-child ratio. That matters because children thrive when they get the attention they need. Smaller ratios allow our qualified child care providers to really know each child, respond to their needs, and create a more secure and personal experience throughout the day.
Our staff is professional, caring, and deeply invested in the children we serve. We are proud of the team we have built, including Angelica Wolfe, our Assistant Director, who helps support the warm and dependable atmosphere families count on. Every member of our team plays a role in making our center feel welcoming, organized, and nurturing.
Parents should never feel like their child is getting lost in the shuffle. We work hard to make sure each child is seen, encouraged, and cared for with real attention to detail.
Home-Cooked Meals and a Real Home Away From Home
There are some things families remember about a childcare center that go beyond the schedule and curriculum. One of ours is the food. Peggy’s ChildCare is known for our famous recipes and delicious home cooking, and that is a big part of what makes our center feel special.
A good meal brings comfort, routine, and care into a child’s day. We love being able to offer home-cooked meals that help children feel nourished and at home while they are with us. It is one more way we create an environment that feels personal and family-focused instead of cold or impersonal.
That same feeling carries into the rest of the day. From caring classrooms to daily routines to the way our staff connects with children, we want our center to truly feel like a home away from home.
Space to Play, Learn, and Grow
Children need room to move, imagine, and burn off energy, which is why our large covered playground is such an important part of our program. Outdoor play supports physical development, social skills, and everyday joy. It gives children a chance to explore, interact, and take part in active play in a space designed with their needs in mind.
We see play as an important part of early childhood development, not just a break from learning. Through movement, games, group interaction, and creative exploration, children build confidence and life skills that support them both in and out of the classroom.
A Strong Part of the Local Community
We are proud of the trust families have placed in us since 2002. Over the years, Peggy’s ChildCare has built a strong community presence, and that means a lot to us. Parents come to us because they want a licensed daycare with a caring reputation, and many stay because they feel like part of our extended family.
We know families want reliability, warmth, and a team that truly understands how important these years are. That is what we work to provide every day through consistent care, educational support, and a genuine commitment to children and parents alike.
