Little Friendships 💕
Kind words
From our daycare families 💕
A home away from home 💛
“Both of our boys attended Tairie’s Tots, starting at just 12 months and 7 months old, and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and welcoming environment for them to grow up in!
What we loved most was the warm, home-away-from-home atmosphere. Having Tairie’s teenage daughters around in the afternoons made it feel like an extended family, and it was so special knowing our boys could spend their days together.
The boys especially loved their walks to the local park during the warmer months and all the wonderful reading time. Tairie created such a nurturing, happy environment, and we always felt our boys were genuinely loved and cared for.
We are so grateful for the wonderful start Tairie gave both our boys and would wholeheartedly recommend Tairie’s Tots to any family looking for a loving, family-oriented daycare!”
— Heather, Mom of Two Boys ❤️
Kind, loving & full of beautiful energy ✨
“I have known Tairie for many years as both a friend and a professional. She is kind, thoughtful, loving, and has such a beautiful energy! Her genuine passion for caring for children and supporting families shows in her warm and compassionate approach.
Tairie has a natural ability to make children feel loved, valued, and cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Tairie’s Tots to families looking for a nurturing and loving childcare!”
— Emily 💛
The best decision you will ever make 🌟
“If you are looking for childcare, choosing Tairie is the best decision you will ever make. As first-time parents, we were incredibly nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but she has exceeded every hope we had. Here is why we absolutely love her:
Nurturing Home Setting: Her smaller home environment provided the perfect, gentle transition for our daughter. It truly feels like a second home where she gets personalized attention and treats us like family.
Incredible Schedule Flexibility: As working parents, her flexibility with scheduling has been an absolute lifesaver. She truly understands the realities of modern family schedules and makes logistics stress-free.
Absolute Peace of Mind: She creates a safe, deeply joyful environment. Our daughter is so happy to see Tairie at drop-off, comes home happy at the end of the day, and is constantly showing us newly learned skills.
We cannot recommend Tairie highly enough to any family, especially those navigating childcare for the very first time!”
— The Kinley Family 💕
