FreeSpirit Daycare

"Sheena is wonderful! Our son learned how to advocate for himself and how to safely cross the street with his guardian. Which Sheena manages with ease. Our son learned tons about pets and plant life and even went on some berry tasting excursions, lol. Most importantly, my wife and I felt completely comfortable and confident in Sheena's abilities to keep our son safe and happily exploring the world around him. We were very lucky to have found Sheena when we did and to have her with our son for the year."

"Warm. Authentic. Nurturing. Engaging. And dare I say, magical--are but a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the space that Sheena has thoughtfully cultivated for our little girl and her fellow squad members--as she lovingly refers to them! As a fellow educator with over 20 years of experience, I marvel at the ease in which she seamlessly crafts activities and experiences for her students that are purposeful, inquiry and play based, but most importantly, individualized for each of the children she works with. Rather than subscribing to a traditional standard of instruction that includes rote memorization of numbers, the alphabet, etc., Sheena understands--and emphasizes--the importance of a child's social emotional growth as the foundation for any sort of learning. She provides space and appropriate scaffolding for students to lead in their own learning. Her ability to really see and know her kids so well is evident through her exchanges with them. The high level of confidence and joy our child comes home with every day is testament to the loving and deliberate attention Sheena pays to her every day. For that, and more, we are so grateful to have her be part of our daughter's journey and we have no doubt that Sheena has left an indelible mark that will last forever. Thank you, Sheena!"

"We are so grateful to Sheena for her nurturing approach to our child’s development and safety. She has become an extension of our little family. Our little one is learning so much through the outdoor exploration, play, music, dance, costumes, pets, and more that Sheena provides. She also feeds her kids such healthy food, and gives them the opportunity to try a variety of new flavors and textures. FreeSpirit is the best!"

"When we started trying to find childcare for out son, we had no idea that we could find a place as utterly perfect as FreeSpirit Daycare. The minute our son met Sheena, he connected with her, and we did too. We can see his development coming along by leaps and bounds as he takes daily child-led walks in the neighborhood parks, tries new vegetables in the community garden, and tries so many healthy foods (that he never eats at home) on Sheena's magical wood plates. Sheena's home is a child's paradise, filled with toys, books, plants, and a menagerie of animals. I feel so much more confident as a parent with Sheena's calming expertise in the mix, making sure my son is learning, growing, and having soooo much fun every day."

"Sheena’s daycare is an oasis in the city! My almost 3 year old loves being with her and the other kids. They spend plenty of time outside in Sheena’s community garden where she has chickens and veggies growing, as well as at the local playground. Indoors Sheena has curated the most beautiful play space! It’s surrounded by open ended, high quality toys and lots of house plants. My son always comes home telling me about the games he played with his friends there. Sheena also provides healthy lunches and snacks for the kids so I don’t have to worry about what my kid will be eating! Sheena is a true childcare professional. She understands children in a profound way and treats them with respect and dignity. I’m so glad we are able to send my child somewhere I feel totally safe with him being, where I know he’ll have a great time and be cared for as if by family. If you’re considering FreeSpirit Nanny Daycare, do yourself (and your kid) a favor and just do it!!"
