About Me

Shay’s Loving Hands Learning Center welcomes you! In a world full of home daycare's, Shay’s Loving Hands Learning Center strives to be the best in the Fauquier County area. My program's purpose is patterned to the developmental needs of each child that is in my care.

My name is Ms. Shannon but Shay has just stuck with me over the years. I am the owner and operator of Shay’s Loving Hands Learning Center. I have always wanted to be a home provider for years and spent numerous years caring for children before starting my own center. Throughout my life, no matter what line of work I was in at the time, I always did the best job I possibly could. I do not look at caring for children any differently. I view being a child care provider as a blessing and I have a true understanding and passion for implementing quality care. I am loving, positive, nurturing, playful, responsible, reliable, trustworthy, sensitive, patient, organized, authoritative and tenacious. These traits give me the confidence that my purpose is to be a caregiver and teacher to children. I recognize what an honor it is to be entrusted with the safety and well being of your most priceless treasures.

I have a wonderful little family that just consists of my one and only son Ky’Ree. My big boy is 10 and boy does keep me on my toes and has taught me what unconditional love truly is. Even though child care is a big part of my life, if I have any spare time I love spending it with my family and friends, shopping, reading, cooking, watching movies, discussing life's big questions and particularly going to the amusement parks in the summer!

Unofficially, I am a toy finder, back patter, song singer, diaper changer, story writer, skinned knee fixer, cold coffee drinker, referee, problem solver, hand holder, paint cup filler, block builder, book reader, puddle splasher, dancer, potty trainer, friend, waiter, cook, bookkeeper, janitor, tear wiper, hug giver, difference maker and a small business operator.

Officially, I am a child care provider :)
