A cozy, home-based setting that helps children feel safe and relaxed
A predictable daily routine that builds confidence and independence
Age-appropriate learning woven into play, art, music, and exploration
Small-group care so each child gets real, individual attention
A Warm Hello From Your Caregiver
Melissa Hanson
Owner & Lead Caregiver
Melissa Hanson founded Mother Goose Daycare to create a career that allowed her to support her family while remaining present for her two children, Lucas and Megan. Raising her own children inspired her to provide other families with dependable, nurturing childcare in a comfortable home environment.
As a mother, Melissa understands how important it is for parents to know their children are safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. She created Mother Goose Daycare as a place where children can learn, play, build confidence, and feel like part of the family.
Melissa holds an associate degree in business and is certified in CPR and First Aid. She also regularly completes continuing-education courses in childhood development through the State of New Hampshire, helping her stay current with childcare practices and provide the best possible care for every child.
For Melissa, Mother Goose Daycare is more than a business — it is a place built from her experience as a mother, her commitment to children, and her belief that every child deserves a safe and nurturing place to grow.
