A warm, home-like nest where little hearts bloom

Hi, I’m Neda, the owner and director of Nest and Bloom Home Daycare.

My journey in early childhood education began long before Nest and Bloom opened its doors. I have spent years working closely with young children, including serving as a Lead Infant Teacher and Lead Young Toddler Teacher. Caring for children during these incredibly important stages of development shaped not only the educator I became, but also the philosophy behind Nest and Bloom.

My years in the classroom taught me that the earliest stages of childhood are about so much more than learning colors, numbers, or letters. They are about building secure relationships, developing confidence and independence, learning to communicate, exploring the world through play, and—most importantly—feeling safe, understood, and deeply cared for.

My background in child psychology has also greatly influenced my approach to early childhood education. I believe every child has their own personality, temperament, developmental pace, and way of communicating. Instead of expecting every child to fit into the same routine or learning style, I believe in meeting children exactly where they are and gently helping them grow from there.

After years of teaching in larger childcare settings, I dreamed of creating something more personal: a beautiful, nurturing environment where children could receive the benefits of a thoughtfully designed early childhood program while still experiencing the comfort, consistency, and warmth of home.

That dream became Nest and Bloom Home Daycare.

Our philosophy is inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, with an emphasis on independence, child-led exploration, hands-on learning, sensory experiences, creativity, outdoor play, and respectful guidance. Our intentionally small group setting allows us to truly know each child—their routines, interests, personalities, strengths, and individual needs—and to build meaningful relationships with their families.

As a mother myself, I also understand how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care. I want every parent to leave each morning knowing that their child is not simply being watched. They are being loved, taught, encouraged, comforted, respected, and celebrated.

Nest and Bloom is the combination of everything I have learned throughout my years as an infant and toddler educator, everything I believe about early childhood development, and the kind of loving environment I would want for my own children.

A little nest where children feel safe, loved, and confident enough to grow, explore, and bloom.

A Beautiful Addition to Our Nest & Bloom Family

We are so incredibly happy to welcome Miss Leila to our Nest & Bloom Home Daycare team!

Miss Leila brings with her years of experience working with young children, but what makes her truly special goes far beyond experience. She has a genuine passion for working with our toddlers and preschoolers, and you can see that love in the way she teaches, nurtures, encourages, and connects with each child.

Her dedication, patience, commitment, and love for what she does are qualities that truly set her apart. She puts her whole heart into her work, and the families who have had the opportunity to know Miss Leila and have their children in her care understand this better than anyone.

At Nest & Bloom, we believe that the people who care for our children become such an important part of their little lives. We feel incredibly lucky to have someone who shares our values and our passion for creating a safe, loving, and meaningful learning environment.

Miss Leila, we love you and are so grateful to have you as part of our little Nest & Bloom family. We can’t wait to watch all the beautiful memories, learning moments, and special bonds you create with our little ones.

Welcome to the team, Miss Leila!
