Betty Sanigo

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

As a mother of two, I was raised up by the church. So, I see the need to return the gratitude to the community. This inspired me to establish a daycare center to raise the kids in a manner of knowing God and also getting a good home, especially when the parents are at work during daytime. Giving them a comfortable environment to grow up and nurturing their potentials.

What began as a small home-based daycare caring for 2 children has flourished into a trusted center serving over 80 families. My team and I are dedicated to nurturing each child's unique gifts and partnering with parents to build strong foundations for lifelong success.
