About us
A small center that knows every child by name
Missing Love Daycare grew out of a simple belief: children learn fastest when they feel safe, seen and genuinely liked. That is the whole philosophy — the rest is snacks, songs and sand.
Our story
Where the name comes from
Plenty of childcare is competent. What families remember, years later, is whether their child was loved there.
We built Missing Love Daycare around the part that too often goes missing — the unhurried cuddle after a scraped knee, the teacher who remembers that this week dinosaurs matter more than anything, the handover that is a real conversation rather than a wave from the doorway.

Why families stay
Care you can picture from the parking lot
The name came from a simple idea: no child should ever feel like love is the thing missing from their day.
Love first
Every child is greeted by name, comforted when they need it and celebrated for who they already are.
Learning through play
Sand, stories, blocks and songs do the teaching. Letters and numbers arrive through games, not worksheets.
Safe, licensed care
Secure entry, daily health checks, background-checked staff and ratios kept below the state maximum.
Partnership with parents
Photo updates through the day, an open-door policy and a real conversation at pick-up — not just a sticker chart.
Our team
Familiar faces, year after year
Low staff turnover is the quietest quality signal in childcare. Our teachers stay, so your child keeps the grown-up they have bonded with.
