What We Offer

Care tailored to your child's needs

Every child grows at their own pace. Our home-based program is designed to support development through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions.

Early Learning & Play

Structured play activities that build cognitive skills, language development, and creativity — all through hands-on exploration and guided discovery.

Social & Emotional Growth

Children learn empathy, sharing, and conflict resolution in a warm group setting — building the emotional foundation they carry into school and beyond.

Safe Home Environment

A clean, childproofed home setting where your child feels secure and comfortable — small groups mean every child is seen, known, and cared for.

Creative Arts & Activities

Art, music, storytelling, and sensory play — activities that spark imagination and help children express themselves in joyful, age-appropriate ways.

Nutritious Meals & Snacks

Healthy, home-prepared meals and snacks are provided, supporting your child's physical growth and giving you peace of mind about their nutrition.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand family life is unpredictable. Our flexible hours and accommodating approach make childcare that fits around your schedule — not the other way around.

About Us

A place where your child is known, not just watched

Paugh Donna J Day Care is a home-based childcare program located in Georgetown, Delaware. We believe the best early care happens where children feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for — not in impersonal institutions, but in a real home with real attention.

Our small-group setting allows us to build meaningful relationships with each child and family. We focus on developmental milestones, social skills, and creating a foundation of confidence that serves children well as they grow. Every morning starts with a warm greeting, and every afternoon ends with a smile — because that's what family childcare should be.

Why Choose Us

The difference a home setting makes

Large daycare centers can feel overwhelming for young children. Our home-based approach offers something increasingly rare: genuine attention, a calm atmosphere, and a family feel that helps children thrive.

Lower Child-to-Caregiver Ratio

Small groups mean your child gets the attention they need — not lost in a crowd, but recognized, encouraged, and guided individually.

A True Home Atmosphere

No fluorescent lights or institutional noise — just a warm, familiar home where children feel comfortable enough to be themselves and explore freely.

Strong Family Partnerships

We communicate openly with parents and treat your family as partners — because the best outcomes happen when home and care are aligned.
