Our Story

Why we do this

At Fairwood Family Daycare, we love children of every age. Helping a child learn and make sense of the world around them is a real responsibility, and we don't take it lightly. We want to be one of the people they remember from growing up.

Because the daycare is run in a real family home, your child has the same familiar face every day, in a small mixed-age group rather than a big room full of kids. We do circle time, crafts, songs, and outdoor play, and we keep the day structured so there's a rhythm the children can count on — but there's always room to follow what a particular child needs that day.

We have full-time and part-time openings for children ages 3 months to 12 years. If you'd like to come by and visit before deciding, that's exactly how we'd want it — just reach out and we'll set up a time.
