Our history

From modest beginnings, Small World Daycare, LLC has grown through unwavering dedication and a commitment to continuous improvement. Each step has reinforced our core belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of integrity. Jessalyn started offering childcare when her provider gave a 3 day notice for closure back in 2015. As a mother of 2 young boys, childcare was difficult to find. Calling into work for nearly a month before finally making the tough decision to stay home. Our priority is making an effort to remain punctual and reliable, while catering to working families so we could eliminate the stress parents feel having to leave their children with someone you couldn't trust. Our ultimate goal at Small World Daycare, LLC is to provide a safe place for parents to not stress about the quality of care and reliability from our program.
