Tell us about your business!
I am a childcare provider and owner I have 5 locations all located in Stamford.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
I was working 3 days a week 16 hours and I had to travel to New York for childcare because I couldn’t afford childcare in Stamford. I wanted to spend more time with my daughter and I knew I couldn’t afford to leave my job and pay for childcare closer to home so I opened my home daycare and expanded within the first year because there was such a need for childcare in Stamford.
