Where your child belongs, plays, and grows at home

About Blue House

Founded and operated by Cathy Gabor, Blue House Family Childcare is a small, relationship-centered program where children feel at home. We blend outdoor exploration, creative play, and gentle routines inspired by the Continuum Concept by Jean Leidloff.

• Small group sizes for deeper connection
• Daily outdoor time and neighborhood nature walks
• Story-rich days, music, and open-ended art
• Predictable rhythm that supports secure attachment
