A home-style daycare in Auburn where every child is known by name, encouraged to explore, and nurtured with the patience and warmth they deserve — from their first steps to their first day of kindergarten.
Michelles Smiling Day Care has been a trusted part of the Auburn community for over 15 years. Located on a quiet residential street, our home-style program offers the kind of personalized attention that large centers simply can't match.
Every child who walks through our door is treated like family. We focus on building strong foundations — social skills, curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning — through guided play, creative activities, and plenty of outdoor time. Parents tell us time and again that the difference is night and day.
Each program is thoughtfully designed to match your child's developmental needs, with activities that challenge, engage, and inspire.
6 Weeks – 12 Months
Gentle, responsive care for your youngest. Skin-to-skin bonding, tummy time, sensory play, and a consistent routine that helps infants feel secure and supported.
1 – 3 Years
Curious hands, big feelings, endless energy. Our toddler program channels that energy into exploration, language building, and social discovery through guided play.
3 – 5 Years
Building the skills that matter most — pre-literacy, numbers, sharing, and self-regulation — all wrapped in creative projects and imaginative play.
5 – 12 Years
After-school fun that keeps growing minds active. Homework help, board games, outdoor sports, and creative projects — all in a safe, structured environment where kids can just be kids.
Parents don't just choose us — they stay with us. Here's what makes Michelles Smiling Day Care the right fit for your family.
No institutional hallways or overcrowded rooms. Just a warm, lived-in home where children feel safe, comfortable, and truly at ease.
With a maximum of 12 children, every child gets the individual care they need — whether that's a extra hug, help with a puzzle, or encouragement to try something new.
Child-proofed throughout, with a secure fenced yard, first-aid certified staff, and strict pickup protocols. Your peace of mind is non-negotiable.
Our curriculum follows early childhood best practices — literacy, numeracy, social-emotional growth, and creative expression woven naturally into daily play.
Full-time, part-time, or occasional — we work around your family's schedule, not the other way around. Early drop-off and late pickup available.
Daily updates, photos, and an open-door policy. You'll always know how your child is doing — because we know how much it matters to you.
From morning circle time to afternoon adventures — here's a peek at the joyful moments that fill our days.
