know us
We are a Reggio Emilia- and Montessori- Inspired home childcare program, launching as an infant-only care center. Our environment is designed to support infants in reaching developmental milestones through nature- inspired learning, play-based exploration, and practical life experiences.
I am Michelle Samaniego, with over 17 years of experience working with children from 6 weeks to 13 years of age. After the birth of my second child, I felt called to bring my experience and passion into my own home- base infant care program.
We will have availability for full- time infant care beginning April 1, 2026.
Please message me to schedule a Zoom meeting to learn more about our program and what we will provide for you child.
