Paula Stanley, owner and founder of YOUR KIDS PLACE LLC, has dedicated over 15 years to enriching the lives of children, culminating in the opening of her daycare center at Little Elementary in 2014. Driven by optimism and an unwavering determination, Paula’s primary mission is to provide families with affordable child care solutions. Her hands-on leadership style extends beyond simply knowing the families—she ensures her staff forms personal connections as well, fostering a true sense of community. In recent years, Paula has passed this legacy down to her daughter, Lorraine, affectionately known as Rain, ensuring that the spirit and dedication of YOUR KIDS PLACE continues for future generations.

YOUR KIDS PLACE (YKP) stands out as a safe, friendly environment, offering care before and after school, as well as during all school breaks. Parents can rest easy knowing that their children are in a nurturing space, backed by a philosophy of flexibility: families only pay for the days they use, and drop-in care is always available for those unexpected moments when work or life gets in the way.

Conveniently located on school grounds, YKP eliminates the need for bus or van rides, enhancing safety and enabling direct communication between its caregivers and the  Elementary teachers at the school. This collaboration supports each child’s well-being, both academically and personally. YKP’s diverse activities include homework support, arts and crafts, gym time, outdoor play, and free play in the classroom—ensuring every child experiences a well-rounded day.

At the heart of YKP are two simple, unbreakable rules: be safe in everything you do, and have fun. These guiding principles replace lengthy lists of restrictions, making it easy for children to remember and embrace what's most important. Each afternoon, children enjoy a snack and spend thirty minutes on homework or reading, encouraging both responsibility and a love for learning.

YOUR KIDS PLACE is more than a daycare—it’s a passionate community dedicated to high-quality care, year-round enrollment, and the belief that every child’s future can be bright. The team takes pride in their service, finds purpose in their passion for child care, and above all, cherishes the children entrusted to them.

With YOUR KIDS PLACE, families gain peace of mind, knowing their kids are supported, safe, and set on a path to thrive. The message is simple: your kids are the future—let YKP help make that future shine.
