About Us.

After seeing the impact the Covid pandemic had on children and families, Karen Maguire and Helen Fleury decided to embark on an endeavor to give back to the community. The education and socialization deficits children experienced over the past two years are unparalleled. As educators and health care professionals, they saw an opportunity to bridge gaps in education for new parents, nursing moms, and children ages newborn to 8-years-old. Their focus is to provide in-person assistance and education while respecting the health care considerations of families during this tumultuous time. Karen and Helen’s passion is to assist families with the education and development of their children, to help them meet early developmental goals, and to promote success with early childhood education.
