Our Teachers

Susie Burke, Director Degree in Child development, ran a home daycare for 7 years several years ago. I was a director for another daycare in Rio Rancho for 5 years 2017 to 2022. I realized that having my own daycare was something I needed to do for the children and parents of Albuquerque to give back to the community; offering great care in small daycare setting.

We wouldn't have our baby anywhere else -- he is so treasured at APTCH. We appreciate the staff more than we can ever say!

Philosophy

Our goal at “A Place to Call Home” is to provide exceptional care in a safe environment. We encourage our parents to ask questions n regard to the daily care of their children. We are here to “fill in” for parents, not take anyone’s place. We provide age-appropriate activities that support social skills, emotional and intellectual development as well as physical development. Staff are encouraged to engage and support all children with new learning ideas.

Location

103 Rio Rancho Dr Northern and 528
