What if daycare could feel like a second hom?
The first years of life are full of little moments that matter.
- A new word.
- A first friendship.
- Learning to feed themselves.
- Trying something new.
- A big hug after a difficult morning.
At Erika’s, we keep our group intentionally small so children aren’t just supervised — they are known.
Every child has room to be themselves, build confidence, and receive the individual attention they need.
Why families choose Erika’s
❤️ A truly small group
- Erika’s Daycare is licensed for up to 12 children.
- A smaller group means more opportunities to notice the little things — what makes your child smile, what comforts them, what they are interested in, and when they need a little extra support.
🎨 Learning happens naturally
- Children learn through everyday experiences.
- Art, ballet, yoga, cooking, movement, stories, music, and hands-on activities are naturally woven into our week.
- Learning doesn’t have to feel like school.
- For little ones, play is learning.
📱 Stay connected throughout the day
- Wondering how your little one is doing?
- We share photos and videos throughout the day so you can see some of the moments you would otherwise miss.
- Because being away from your child is hard enough.
🏡 A warm, home-like environment
- There is no rush.
- Children have time to settle in, explore, play with friends, and follow a familiar rhythm throughout the day.
Our goal is simple: For children to feel safe, loved, and at home.

Hi, I’m Erika
Choosing someone to care for your child is a big decision.
I understand that.
My goal is to create a place where children feel safe, comfortable, curious, and loved — and where parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care.
I believe the best childcare doesn’t have to feel complicated.
It should feel warm.
It should feel personal.
And when you walk through the door, it should feel like a place where your child belongs.
