About Us

A home away from home, where every child is known by name

Loveable Daycare FCC is a family child care center located at 361 N Erin Ave in Felton, Delaware. We provide a safe, loving, and developmentally rich environment for young children during their most formative years.

Our small-group, family-style setting allows us to give each child the individual attention they deserve — building strong relationships with children and families alike. We believe the earliest years shape everything that follows, and we take that responsibility seriously, with warmth at the center of every decision.

Our Approach

Learning through
living

We don't just teach children — we create the conditions where natural curiosity becomes real understanding.

Play-Based Learning

Every activity is designed around guided play — the research-backed method that builds cognitive skills, problem-solving, and social intelligence naturally.

Individual Attention

In our small-group environment, each child's pace, interests, and needs are seen and responded to — no child gets lost in the crowd.

Social-Emotional Growth

We nurture empathy, self-regulation, and cooperation — the invisible skills that matter just as much as early literacy and numeracy.

Creative Expression

Art, music, movement, and storytelling are woven into daily routines — because creativity is not an add-on, it's how children make sense of the world.

Family Partnership

Parents are our partners. We maintain open, honest communication and involve families in their child's learning journey every step of the way.

Home Environment

Our home-style setting provides comfort and consistency — children feel secure, which is the essential condition for learning and exploration.
