The Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP) assisted Amanda’s Home Daycare with a ribbon cutting to celebrate its grand opening on Wednesday.
LSCP’s Childcare SPARK program allowed Amanda’s Home Daycare to turn from a dream to a reality.
Amanda’s Home Daycare provides a personalized, nurturing, and diverse childcare experience that emphasizes the uniqueness of each child. After witnessing the impact of a local daycare’s closure, which left many families without care options, Amanda and her family found inspiration in the Childcare SPARK program.
“I never thought the dream I had of creating a childcare center would be obtainable, but with SPARK’s support, that dream turned into a reality,” owner Amanda Gonzales-Gravedoni shared.
Amanda’s Home Daycare believes that every child is unique. Amanda and her family prioritize independence by empowering children to explore and discover the world around them confidently. The daycare focuses on each child’s uniqueness, and their bilingual program fosters creativity through music and arts.
“Our mission is to offer individualized early childhood education through research-backed curricula, tools, and techniques,” Amanda stated. “We focus on each child’s physical, emotional, social, and academic development, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care in a safe, pet-friendly, and welcoming atmosphere.”
Amanda’s Home Daycare offers full-time enrollments and drop-in care. They are happy to welcome children from ages six weeks to three and a half years.
The home daycare is located just outside of downtown Negaunee, Michigan. Their current hours of operation are Monday to Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To request a tour, apply to enroll, or for more information visit ahdnegaunee.com.
