Get to know us
While I was studing psychology as an undergrad, I worked part-time on the campus childcare. I fell in love! I began dreaming of opening one once I had kids of my own. Once I learnt I was pregnant with my daughter I started planning to make my dream into a reality. And, now it’s finally here!
