At Sandy's Daycare, every morning begins with a warm welcome and every afternoon ends with something worth sharing. We don't watch children — we grow them.
Trusted Care
Since Manhattan, KS
Sandy's Daycare was founded on a simple belief: every child thrives when they feel truly seen, safe, and supported. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood on Lauden Court, our home-based program offers the kind of personalized attention no large facility can match.
We keep groups intentionally small so every child receives individualized care. Meals are home-prepared, activities are thoughtfully planned, and the atmosphere is one of warmth and respect. Parents in Manhattan trust us because we treat their children the way we would our own — with patience, creativity, and genuine care.
Home-Based
Intimate, family-style care
Early Learning
Play-based curriculum
Whether your child is just starting to explore or preparing for kindergarten, we have a program that meets them exactly where they are.
Gentle, responsive care for babies from 6 weeks to 12 months. Individual feeding and sleeping schedules, tummy time, and sensory play in a nurturing setting.
Active, curious toddlers ages 1–3 explore, create, and learn through guided play. We support language development, social skills, and growing independence.
Structured learning for ages 3–5 builds the confidence and skills children need before kindergarten. Literacy, numeracy, and school-readiness through play.
Choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. Here's what sets Sandy's Daycare apart from the rest.
Every corner of our home is child-proofed, our staff is trained in CPR and first aid, and we maintain the highest standards of hygiene and supervision at all times.
We never overcrowd. Our small ratios mean Sandy knows each child's personality, preferences, and pace — and parents always know exactly who is caring for their child.
Daily updates, open-door policies, and genuine partnership with parents. You'll never wonder how your child's day went — we tell you before you ask.
Snacks and meals are prepared fresh in our home kitchen using wholesome ingredients. We accommodate dietary needs and make mealtime a joyful part of the day.
The relationships we build with families are our greatest measure of success.
"Switching to Sandy's was the best decision we made. Our daughter went from crying at drop-off to running through the door every morning. That kind of connection doesn't happen everywhere — it happens because Sandy truly cares about each child as an individual."

"As a first-time parent, I was anxious about daycare. Sandy made the transition so smooth for both of us. The daily updates and open communication gave me peace of mind, and my son learned so much — especially his letters and numbers — before kindergarten."

"We drive 20 minutes out of our way to drop our kids here, and we wouldn't have it any other way. The home atmosphere makes such a difference — it's warm, clean, organized, and the kids are always happy. Sandy treats this like the precious work it is, and it shows."
