At Just Like Home Child Care, we provide a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where every child in the Nashwauk community can grow, learn, and flourish — just like they would at home.
Just Like Home Child Care was founded with a simple belief: every child deserves the same love, attention, and encouragement they receive at home. Located in the heart of Nashwauk, we've built a program that treats each child as an individual with unique talents, needs, and potential.
Our home-like setting means smaller groups, personalized attention, and a nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure enough to explore, ask questions, and discover the world around them. We understand that choosing child care is one of the most important decisions a family makes — and we take that responsibility seriously.
From infants preparing to take their first steps to school-age children building confidence, our programs meet your child where they are.
Gentle, responsive care for babies from 6 weeks old. Our caregivers provide one-on-one attention with feeding, diapering, and sleep routines that mirror the comfort of home.
Active, exploratory learning for toddlers aged 1–3. We support early development through sensory play, language enrichment, and social interaction in a secure setting.
Building the foundation for school success with pre-literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills. Our curriculum prepares children to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
After-school enrichment for children aged 5–12. Homework support, creative activities, and supervised outdoor play keep kids engaged and learning after the bell rings.
Keeping Nashwauk children active and entertained during school breaks. Our summer days blend outdoor adventure, arts and crafts, and educational fun.
We understand family schedules vary. Full-time, part-time, and drop-in care options are available so your child's care fits your life — not the other way around.
Here's what sets Just Like Home Child Care apart from the rest.
No institutional feeling here. Our warm, residential-style setting helps children feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves — just like they would at home.
Small groups mean every child gets the individual attention they need. Our caregivers know each child's personality, preferences, and developmental milestones.
Every day is an opportunity to learn. Our activities are thoughtfully designed to build cognitive, language, motor, and social skills at every age level.
From secure entry systems to sanitized play areas and trained staff, we maintain the highest safety standards so you can have complete peace of mind.
We're not a chain or a franchise. We're a local Nashwauk business that understands our community, supports our neighbors, and takes pride in serving your family.
You're always in the loop. We share daily updates about your child's meals, naps, activities, and mood — because you deserve to know how their day went.
