Meet the Owner


My name is Barbara Rivera and I have a passion for early child development; I strive to ensure the children I care for are properly prepared for their transition to school. To give you a little about myself, I have an outgoing personality and strive to keep a positive, fun and happy environment. I assure you that you and your child/ren will have the experiences of a lifetime. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as over 20 years of experience in childcare; 16 years of experience in a childcare facility. I am CPR certified and First Aid trained, with over 3 years as a Hooked on phonics, Math and Muzzy Program teacher.
