Our Weekly Activities
Monday – Music & Movement
I love starting the week with singing, dancing, and rhythm games. It’s so fun to watch each child move in their own way and express themselves through music.Tuesday – Garden & Nature
On Tuesdays, we explore our garden and observe plants, insects, and little creatures. The children ask questions, discover, and connect with the natural world around them.Wednesday – Field Trip Day
Wednesdays are our adventure days! We pack backpacks with lunch and visit local farms, gardens, or parks. It’s always exciting to explore new places together and learn from hands-on experiences.Thursday – Cooking & Tasting
I enjoy getting the kids involved in preparing simple snacks or little meals. They learn teamwork, try new foods, and feel proud of what they’ve made.Friday – Art & Craft
Fridays are for painting, clay, and crafting with natural materials. I encourage each child to express themselves freely, and we celebrate their unique creations together.
Why Choose Us?
As a third-generation educator with 10 years of childcare experience, I’m deeply committed to both quality education and safety.What makes my daycare special is the personal touch:
A small, close-knit group so every child gets individual attention.A warm, family-like environment where parents are partners in their child’s journey.Enrichment activities like art, music, gardening, nature walks, baking, and field trips that spark curiosity and creativity.A focus on confidence, kindness, and community, not just academics.My goal is to provide care that feels natural, like family, where children feel at home, and parents feel at ease.
About Me
Hello, my name is Maryna and I'm the owner of
Little Lamb Daycare.I’m a dedicated educator with a degree in Early Childhood Education and over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes teaching in both public and private schools, with exposure to traditional classrooms as well as Montessori methods.As a third-generation educator, my love for teaching began early—watching my mother work with her students and helping her lead reading time at summer camps. That foundation shaped my belief that every child deserves a safe, nurturing space where they can learn, grow, and feel connected.I also have experience working with children with special needs, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, individualized attention, and creating an environment where every child feels supported.Beyond the classroom, I enjoy singing, practicing yoga, walking along the beach, and tending to my vegetable garden—all things that inspire creativity, mindfulness, and joy, which I love to bring into my work with children.
