Who We Are

At The Walnut House, I provide a nurturing, play-based environment where children feel supported and inspired. My name is Michelle, and as a soon-to-be ECE graduate and a mother of two, I offer personalized care in a cozy, home-based setting. My small group daycare fosters strong connections, creativity, and a love for learning in a space where children can truly be themselves and thrive.

The Walnut House

The Walnut House is a cozy, home-like atmosphere where children feel safe, comfortable, and inspired to explore. In this small, home-based setting, I offer the warmth and intimacy of a family-like environment, helping children form strong connections with each other, their families, and the community. My bright, welcoming space encourages creativity, play, and discovery, while my large, fenced-in yard provides plenty of room for outdoor fun. Situated close to Lakeside Park, I give children easy access to nature, allowing them to connect with the world around them in a nurturing, supportive space.
