Featured Child Care Business Owner: Joy Swayby Owner of Keep-A-Kid Family Home Child Care

IMG_20130129_093117

Earlier this week, I noticed  that I needed two more cots after enrolling seven children during the month of January. So I decided to call local daycare providers that were on my Networking list and Ms. Joy was the first provider that I called. She had some extra cots, so I decided to stop by her new daycare location.

When I walked into Ms. Joy’s home, I was amazed at the colors, organization and creativity of the space.

In fact, I really loved the fact that Ms. Joy’s Child Care space was well maintained and how she utilized her entire home to allow enough space for the children.

Furthermore, I asked Ms. Joy if I could take photos of the neat items and spaces that I saw in her daycare and she replied sure! So, I thought I would share  those photos with you. Check out the photos below:

Love this sign!
