🌟 30th Anniversary Provider Spotlight 🌟

Today we’re continuing our Home Child Care Network 30th Anniversary celebrations with a spotlight on an incredible, long-time provider: Marsela of Sela's Little feet Daycare .

🎉 20 years of caring for children and families
For two decades, Marsela has dedicated her career to creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Throughout those 20 years, she has had the privilege of caring for nearly 100 children, building relationships with families that continue long after children leave her program.

🌿 The importance of early child care
At Sela’s Little Feet Daycare, Marsela’s approach focuses on play-based learning, outdoor exploration and discovery, creativity and hands-on experiences, and building confidence and independence. Her goal is simple but powerful: to help every child feel valued, supported, and eager to learn through meaningful experiences and genuine connections.

🤝 Growing alongside Home Child Care Network
“I have watched HCCN evolve while also building my own little world at Sela’s Little Feet Daycare right alongside it.” Through training, resources, encouragement, and connections with fellow providers, HCCN has helped support her growth since 2012, both personally and professionally throughout her child care journey. This year, Marsela also published her first children’s book!

📸 A legacy of connection
One of the photos featured here comes from Marsela’s 18th anniversary celebration, where current and former children and their families gathered to celebrate the community she has built over the years. It’s a beautiful reflection of the lasting impact she has had.

As we celebrate HCCN’s 30th Anniversary, we’re proud to recognize providers like Marsela whose dedication, compassion, and commitment continue to strengthen children, families, and our community💙 Thank you, Marsela, for 20 years of nurturing young minds and providing exceptional care to generations of children and families. We are honored to have you as part of our network.
