“Our children attended the Creative Children Day Home for around five years. Our children were always greeted so warmly by the staff and made to feel that they were valued and cared for. We trusted Sabira whole-heartedly and appreciate her for being such an instrumental caregiver when our children were so young. We are grateful for her dedication to the children and the countless ways she goes above and beyond to become a second family to all of the families at the day home. The Creative Child Day Home continues to hold a special place in our hearts and is the source of countless fond memories..”

Regular Hours of Care

As self-employed professionals, FDH Educators have the flexibility to set their own working hours. Educators provide their hours of operation in writing, based on both parental needs and their availability. This information is used by the agency to support appropriate child placements.
