Tricia is a warm, loving, kind and professional person. She always welcomed my daughter with a big smile, each morning, and showed genuine interest in her well being. Tricia is organized and always sends daily communication about Aliyahs day at school. She also provides a safe and loving environment for all of the children who attend her child care center. From an anxious mothers point of view, I have always felt confident that my daughter was safe and well taken care of while I am at work. Aliyah is excited to attend Tricias and see her friends each day. I highly recommend this child care center and Tricia!

Tricia clearly communicated all of my child’s needs during their time at Learning Loft. She set my children up for success when they transitioned to preschool.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a kind, caring and compassionate daycare provider. From the very beginning it was clear that Tricia provides more than just a daycare—it’s a nurturing environment where children and families feel truly seen, heard and valued. Tricia shows a remarkable level of attention to detail. The day is thoughtfully planned to support each child’s development, both emotionally and intellectually. Tricia creates engaging and age-appropriate learning experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. It has been amazing to see how much our child has grown socially and academically in her care. What stands out the most is Tricia’s family focus. She takes the time to understand each child’s individual needs and work closely with families to create the best experience. She is not only solutions-focused—addressing any concerns—but also incredibly supportive during milestones and transitions. Knowing our child is in such a loving, capable hands gives us complete peace of mind every day. We couldn’t ask for a better partner in our child’s development and highly recommend this provider to any family looking for a safe , enriching and compassionate childcare environment.

My daughter has been with Tricia for the past two years, and we’ve been so lucky to have found her! The environment she creates is intimate, warm and loving. You can tell right away how much she cares. She truly loves the kids like they’re her own.
My daughter (who is now 3.5) loves going there. She’s grown so much since starting. Tricia more recently has helped her through potty training. She also encourages her independence... and gives one-on-one attention that’s hard to find at a bigger center. They do fun activities and projects.
Separately, as a parent, I’ve leaned on Tricia more than once!! She’s always been there with helpful advice around sleep, eating, and all the ups and downs that come with toddler life!! I trust her completely, and I always feel like we’re on the same team. She provides daily reports which is so great so I know what my child did during the day.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place or a better person to care for our daughter! Any family would be lucky to get a spot at Tricias daycare.

My daughter has had the best experience with Tricia! She loves going to daycare every day and hates to leave in the afternoon. She’s done so many cute and fun projects, crafts, and activities and I love seeing the pictures Tricia posts! Due to the small number of children in the daycare, each child gets so much individual attention and it has truly helped my daughter grow and thrive. I couldn’t recommend Tricia enough!
