Welcome to My Family!

In my small group family child care home I emphasize the importance of the loving relationship that is formed between myself and your child. At the heart of my program is the belief that this personal and lasting relationship provides the best possible learning environment.

From Parents

We began bringing our daughter to Menike’s home when she was 4 months old.  From the very first day we visited, we knew this would be a great fit for us  Menike is warm, kind, and clearly has a deep love for the kids in her care.  We get updates regularly and anytime we have had questions it’s been easy to get answers or work together to solve problems.  During those ‘transition’ phases into solid foods, nap changes, etc. we’ve always been kept up to date on how our daughter is doing and our preferences are carried on when she is with Menike.  We have often sought her advice on replicating the great naps and playtime when she is at home with us!  Since we are first time parents, we have learned so much from Menike too.
