Our Philosophy
Children are naturally curious, capable, competent, and eager to understand the world around them.
When provided with secure relationships, meaningful experiences, thoughtfully prepared environments, and the freedom to explore, children develop confidence, creativity, compassion, and lifelong love for learning.
At Precious Time Home Childcare, we believe education is not simply preparing children for Kindergarten; it is preparing them for life.
Our role is to not simply teach children facts, it is to nurture their natural curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and inspire joyful discovery through play, exploration, and authentic experience.
At Precious Time Home Childcare, we believe education is about more than preparing children for Kindergarten. It is about preparing them for life.
What Makes Precious Time Different
For nearly two decades, Precious Time Home Childcare has been more than a childcare program, it has been an extension of family.
Originally founded by Parveen Saini and now lovingly continued by her daughter, Priya Khatta, our program blends generations of experience with a shared passion for providing exceptional early childhood education in a warm, home-based setting.
Children here experience the consistency of familiar caregivers, meaningful relationships, and the comfort of growing up in a true home environment. Our mixed-age community encourages lasting friendships, natural mentorship, and leadership as children learn from one another everyday.
Why Choose Us
Choosing childcare often means looking beyond schedules and availability to find an environment where your child can learn, build relationships, and feel comfortable each day. Our program is built around consistent routines, meaningful interactions, and developmentally appropriate experiences that support children as they grow.
A Family Legacy in Childcare
Founded in 2006, our program continues a second-generation family childcare tradition built on years of serving local families. This continuity provides children with a familiar, stable environment where long-term relationships remain at the center of everyday care.
A Home-Based Learning Environment
Children spend their day in a welcoming home setting that combines individualized attention with intentional early learning experiences. Daily routines are designed to support learning through play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities.
Mixed-Age Learning Community
Children learn alongside peers of different ages, creating opportunities to observe, collaborate, and build friendships. Younger children benefit from positive role models, while older children strengthen confidence and leadership by helping and encouraging others.
Learning Through Everyday Experiences
Play-based activities, outdoor exploration, hands-on learning, and open-ended materials encourage curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving. Experiences are adapted to each child’s developmental stage rather than expecting every child to learn at the same pace.
Supporting the Whole Child
Nutritious meals, consistent daily routines, individualized guidance, and meaningful family partnerships work together to support children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development while helping them feel at home.
