Frequently asked questions

We believe young children learn best through play, relationships, exploration, and everyday experiences. Our environment is designed to be nurturing, calm, and age-appropriate, with opportunities for sensory play, movement, books, music, creativity, and social development.

Our regular daycare hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. We understand that some families need a little extra flexibility, so extended after-care may be available for an additional fee, depending on availability.Please email us at sweettangerine.daycare@gmail.com with your family's scheduling needs, including your preferred drop-off and pick-up times. We'll be happy to discuss availability and applicable fees.
