Pitter Patter Family Daycare

My name is Deborah Higgins and I have chosen early child hood education as my profession because I enjoy making a difference in the lives of the children in my care. I am licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care as a family child care provider.  I can care for up to 10 children in my home. I have been an educator in the early child care education field for 30 + years, with 23 of those years being a family child care provider. I graduated Magna cum laude with my Associates of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education from Dean College in Franklin, Ma., I am infant/toddler lead teacher qualified, along with being pre-school teacher qualified. In addition, I take ongoing early childhood education, am a member of Yours for Children, a USDA approved food program, and I also hold a current CPR and first-aid certificate. 

I implement age appropriate activities that allow your child to learn and grow along with an equal opportunity to develop at their own pace while in a stimulating home environment. Your child will enjoy a multitude of activities in a fun, creative and active atmosphere along with me, their fun, creative, vigorous, self-motivated and caring educator!


I post pictures nightly on our private Facebook page of your child's day along with periodical progress reports on your child's development. I am here to give your child the utmost care, and to let you know that your child's day will be fun in every way!
