I currently have three children who have attended Sharon’s daycare since they were each one year old. I would not trust my kids with anyone else! The love, support, guidance and overall care she provides to each child is irreplaceable. Sharon provides the children with age-appropriate learning opportunities that include crafts, hands-on experiences and curriculum that prepares them for TK and kindergarten. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her and the team! It’s such a huge relief knowing that I am leaving my children in the best hands.
Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked at Sharon’s throughout high school and college. I can say that I’ve witnessed first-hand the relationships that have been formed throughout the years. I have met so many friends who have become family because of Orr’s Daycare.

I have a very unique insight to Orr’s Family Daycare because I once attended myself as a child, I worked there in my early college years, and now my son attends. I can honestly say there is no one else I could intrust the care of my child too more. Since I was a child, Sharon has created and maintained a loving, fun, educational and safe place for children to grow, learn and make lifelong friends and memories. Sharon and her team care deeply about every child in their care and welcome them into their loving family.
As a former employee, I’ve witnessed the time and dedication Sharon puts into the academic curriculum, crafts and activities to insure the children are learning in a fun environment. Time and time again, I’ve heard from the local elementary school that “Sharon’s kids” are always well prepared and steps ahead of other children entering kindergarten.
As a parent, I feel blessed to have my son now attending Orr’s Family Daycare and know that he is receiving the same love and affection I did as a child. After 30+ years, Sharon continues to take her small family business and turn it into a “home away home”.

My daughter has attended Orr family daycare full time since she is 15 month old. She is turning 5 in few months and over such an extended period she never regretted coming back any single time. She is always warmly welcomed and well fed. Her English is exceptional, despite us speaking Russian at home. Oher kids at the daycare are her best friends, while Sharon and Orr family were like an extended family for her.

We LOVED Sharon’s daycare so much! The workers treat the kids like family with so much love and care. My daughter loved being there and I can’t say enough good things. I’d recommend to anyone I know.

Every adult there is so caring and commited to the kids! Sharon is a rare gem of a human being - always thinking of the kids and goes above and beyond for their comfort and learning. We feel so lucky our kids got to be with Sharon and her team for 6+ years.

Sharon is literally the best. She is an amazing teacher and special person. Our kids have learned so much from Sharon and she has prepared our daughter for the upcoming school year TK. She cooks them delicious meals and teaches them manners. The house is always clean and safe with plenty of activities for the littles including school activities. We can’t be more pleased with Orrs Family Daycare.
