Healthy Start Child Care is a home-based early care and learning program near downtown Traverse City. My teachers and I work with parents to give their young children a happy, healthy start in life. We strive to create caring relationships and experiences that promote healthy social-emotional, physical, and cognitive growth, preparing them for kindergarten and beyond. In my home, children feel secure and excited to explore their world, and parents feel confident that their children are safe, well-cared for, and learning skills to be successful in school and life.
