I’ve brought my son here since he was just under 4months old (he is now 1) and we love it. It’s not easy bringing your newborn to daycare but we felt trust right away. One of the things I like best is being able to discuss one on one details about my son, how he’s doing, any concerns, and customize our joint plan for his care. Candi has been very considerate with working on building out skills and milestones with my son like transitioning bottles to cups. I love that she incorporates educational items into the day to day as well as allowing plenty of outdoor playtime. I recommend this daycare!

Absolutely amazing!!! My daughter has been going to Ms. Candi for about 2 years now and she loves it there! Candi is a an amazing child care provider. My daughter loves the meals provided. I’m pretty sure she eats more consistent at school then she will at home. We have been extremely happy with the communication and updates that Candi gives us. Wether it’s just the daily take home notes about how the day went. Or if there is time off needed or closures she is great for keeping you notified. With the different ages there it’s great for kids to learn how to get along. We get compliments at parties on how our daughter plays well with all the kids and I believe that Little house on the quarry plays a big role in that. If you are looking for a place where once you drop your child off you don’t have to worry about them until pick up this is the place for you!

Couldn't ask for a better caregiver than Candice. From the moment I met her and toured her home daycare, I knew this was the place I wanted my infant to go. The outside play area is so cute, the inside is kept immaculately clean and her attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. I had my son right before the Covid outbreak and I had so much anxiety about returning to work and finding care for my baby. Candice really helped make my transition back to work so smooth by sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. I don't think I could have done it without her help and support. My 7 month old smiles SO big every morning when I drop him off. I am so thankful for Candice and knowing that my son is in the best of hands during the day is so comforting. If you are looking for a home daycare where healthy meals and snacks are included daily, your child can learn while having fun at the same time, a safe and secure environment and someone who will treat your child like their own, then look no further - Little House On The Quarry is all of that and SO much more!

Little House on the Quarry is amazing!! Our 2.5 year old has learned so much during his time there. He has so much fun playing with his friends, doing arts and crafts, singing songs, having dress up dance parties and playing on the beautiful playground area. There are daily age appropriate activities planned and healthy meals and snacks. He has tried and loved so many new foods that he never would eat at home! On the weekend he always wakes up and asks if he’s going to school to see his friends. Candice is excellent at communicating important details in regards to our son and his development and how he’s doing in daycare. Candice and her family are an extension of our family and I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!

Although my son has only been with Ms. Candy for a short while, the joy and enthusiasm i see in his face at dropoff and lick up times leaves me feeling ecstatic that qe found this gem in Little House on the Quarry. Not only do Ms. Candy and Mr. Andy offer a safe loving ennviroment, but I truley feel welcomed into the family. You couldnt ask for a better place for your child to be.
