About Us

A Home Away from Home
Where Every Child Belongs

NiNi's Family Daycare and Preschool was founded on a simple belief: young children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for. Located in the heart of Nevada City, our licensed home-based program offers an intimate setting where every child knows their name, their interests, and their place in the group.

We blend structured learning with unstructured play, outdoor exploration, and creative expression. Our small group sizes mean your child isn't just another face in the crowd — they're a valued member of our learning community.
