Hi, I’m Carly.

Owner. Teacher. Mom.

Long before Hand Over Heart Daycare became a reality, I knew my greatest calling was to be a mom.

When my son was born, I made it my mission to give him the kind of childhood every child deserves—one filled with books instead of screens, scraped knees from outdoor adventures, messy art projects, bedtime stories, and the freedom to simply be a kid. Over the years, I built businesses in real estate, social media management, and entrepreneurship, always working toward one dream: creating a life where I could spend my days raising children.

Today, that dream has become Hand Over Heart Daycare.

It is a privilege to walk alongside families during such an important season of their children's lives. Every child who enters my home will be loved, encouraged, challenged, and cared for as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a warm, safe environment where children build confidence, develop a love of learning, and experience childhood the way we remember it.

I know what an incredible act of trust it is to leave your child in someone else's care.

Thank you for considering Hand Over Heart Daycare. I can't wait to meet your family.
