About Us

A second home for your child

I'm Lina, and for over a decade I've been opening my home to families in Watertown who want more than a daycare — they want a place where their child is known, valued, and genuinely happy.

My home is small, warm, and intentionally designed to feel like yours. With a limited number of children, every child gets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. No rushing, no crowds — just a peaceful environment where little ones can grow at their own pace.

What We Offer

Thoughtful care for every stage

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care for your youngest. Skin-to-skin moments, tummy time, and the kind of nurturing that helps little ones feel secure and loved from day one.

Toddler Programs

Curious explorers need patient guides. Our toddler program encourages discovery through play, with activities that build language, motor skills, and social confidence.

Preschool Prep

Building the foundation for school success. Through structured play, storytelling, and creative expression, we help children develop the skills and habits they'll carry forward.

Our Approach

Learning through living

I believe children learn best when they feel safe, respected, and free to explore. Every day at Lina's is filled with real experiences — cooking together, tending the garden, reading under the sun, and making art with their hands.

We don't rush childhood. Instead, we create space for curiosity, patience, and the kind of deep play that builds lasting confidence. Your child will leave each day with stories to tell and a heart full of wonder.
