Meet Renee

The first years are precious. We treat them that way.

Renee's Tiny Treasures is a licensed, home-based daycare where children feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. For more than 20 years, Renee has cared for and taught young children, and for over five years she's welcomed local families into her own home.

Choosing childcare is one of the biggest decisions a parent makes. Renee built her program around one belief: every child deserves individual attention, warm encouragement, and a day full of meaningful, play-based learning that sparks curiosity, discovery, and problem-solving.

"I'm very protective of my son, and finding a good daycare with learning and free play is hard enough. Never mind finding a place where you can see the effort and love put in for the children! Renee made the transition effortless. My heart is so full and at ease knowing the care he's receiving. 10/10."
