Carol's Family Daycare

Christiansburg, Virginia · Established 1993

A small home where little ones are known by name.

We're a family day home offering attentive, unhurried care for a small group of children. Real home, real routines, real relationships — with parents, kids, and the families we get to know.

What we believe

Children flourish when they're known — not managed. We keep our group small on purpose, so every child gets the kind of attention they'd get from a thoughtful aunt, not a busy classroom.

A day in our home

Predictable rhythm, room to wander

Our days follow a gentle, predictable shape — kids feel safest when they know what comes next, but there's always room for the morning to take its own turn.

7:00

Morning arrivals

Quiet welcome, breakfast for those who'd like it, free play with books and blocks.

9:00

Circle time

Songs, a story, the day's plan. We talk about the weather and who's here.

9:45

Outside or studio

Fenced backyard for running, climbing, and digging. Rainy days mean art, baking, or sensory bins.

11:30

Lunch together

We sit at the same table. Older kids help set out napkins. Real plates, real forks.

12:30

Rest

Cots, soft music, books for those who don't sleep. Most do.

3:00

Snack & open play

Afternoon snack, free choice of activities, projects that span days.

6:00

Pickup

Hugs, a quick note about the day, off you go.

6 weeks – 18 months

Little Sprouts

One-on-one care for our youngest, with rocking chairs, soft floors, and a quiet corner that's always available for a nap.

18 months – 3 years

Toddlers

Where words explode, opinions form, and snacks become a serious matter. Lots of outdoor time and messy play.

Come visit. Bring your little one.

The best way to know if we're the right fit is to spend an hour with us. We'd love to meet you — and see what your child does with our blocks.
