ABOUT US
FAQs

  • We have been part of the Blessings family for almost a year. Our son first started when he was one year old, and although we had to part ways for a time, we came back two years later and haven’t looked back since. I cannot recommend this daycare enough. Blessings has truly become a home for our children.

  • Blessings has truly been such a gift to our family. From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel the love and intentional care that fills the space. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about each child as an individual.

    -Blessings Family

  • We have been at Blessings for over 3 years, and it truly is our little one’s home away from home. The teachers are full of patience, kindness, and support. They have become like family to us, and I wouldn’t trust any other place to love and take care of my child as best as they do

    -Blessings Family

  • We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Blessings. The teachers are incredibly kind, and you can truly tell how much they care about the kids and the work they’re doing. Every morning my child is excited to be dropped off, which says so much about the environment they’ve created.

    —Kyli B.

  • Blessings Care For Kids is truly a blessing! My one-year-old was really struggling at the daycare he was previously attending, and they eventually gave up on him. Thankfully, we found Blessings, and the change in him was almost immediate. He now loves going to daycare and is so well cared for every day. Gina and her staff are absolutely amazing, and we are so grateful for the love and attention they give the kids!

    -Jackie P.

  • What makes Blessings so special is the strong sense of community they create. It feels less like a daycare and more like one big family. My daughter is excited to go each day and comes home talking about her teachers and friends with the biggest smiles. My baby lights up when he sees his teacher.... sometimes I think he prefers her over me! That level of comfort and attachment says more than I ever could.

    -Erynn E

  • It’s clear that the staff put a lot of heart into what they do. My child has learned so much during her time here, and we’re so grateful for the care, patience, and dedication the teachers show every day.

    -Kyli B.

  • One of the things that stands out most is how much the staff genuinely engage with the kids. My daughter is very advanced in her learning, and I truly attribute a lot of that to the way they encourage learning through play and meaningful interaction every day. We are so grateful for the care, patience, and dedication they show the children.

    -Summer B.

  • What stands out most is the family-like atmosphere. The children aren’t just being watched—they’re known, loved, and nurtured. The team creates such a positive environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and play each day.

    -Blessings Family

  • The staff has been incredible in working with our four-year-old on reading, writing, and learning how to behave to succeed in preschool. Our one-year-old daughter has absolutely thrived as well. She is saying several words, knows sign language, and is about to walk on her own — milestones we truly believe have been supported and encouraged by her caregivers.

    N. Kolbo

  • We absolutely love Blessings! Both of my kids are so happy there, and that means everything to me as a parent. The staff truly love my children as if they were their own, and that kind of genuine care is something you simply can’t take for granted.

    -Erynn E.

  • Our 2 year old daughter just started at Blessings a month ago but we already feel so at home! This is her first time in daycare and they have been so loving and supportive to her through this big transition. A month in and she already loves it there! We are so grateful to have found Blessings!

    -Rachel K.

  • They have truly become like a second family to us. As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away, and I can honestly say I whole heartedly trust them with my daughter and never have concerns when she’s there.
