Are you in dire need of dependable daycare? Trying to juggle furthering your career and making sure your child’s developing needs are met? Have you shopped around and seen nothing but jaw-dropping rates?

In a day and age where both parents have careers and single parents raise their kids alone, daycare has become a necessity for many households. However, the expense can often be burdensome, the safety concerns worrying, and task of finding top-quality caretakers time-consuming. Bouncing child or children from grandparent, to uncle and aunt, to best friend lends an unstable environment and endless phone calls and scheduling.


Kids will never be bored at Tiffany’s Tots & Toddlers.

Can daycare be affordable, dependable and safe? Can it be run by accredited, passionate caretakers while providing a balance between education and fun? Is there a facility whereby you can rest assured that your child is in great hands allowing you to stay focused?

Tiffany’s Tots & Toddlers at 66 Grant Street, New Bedford is owned and operated by the prodigious Tiffany Pimental and is just such a place. As opposed to a group daycare center, Tiffany runs a home daycare facility – that means smaller groups (limited to 6 kids) that lead to more personal attention to your child. Her family child care center encourages learning, play, and the development of social skills, all in a safe, structured and secure, home type environment for children from newborn to five years of age.

Tiffany possesses a Teacher’s Certification, is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care, CPR and first aid certified. Not satisfied with that, she has regularly attended courses in the Early Education field and her passion drives perpetual learning so as to provide the best care possible.

I use the adjective “prodigious” because Tiffany is one of those that seems to have been born knowing who she is and what she wants: she has been in the teaching field since second grade when she became a Catechist Assistant. From 3rd Grade to 8th Grade she assisted in After School programs to watch over younger children at her Catholic School. When I was her age, I was focused on playing video games and playing “Army”!

Tiffany explains the motivation and inspiration that drove her to open her own family child care facility:


Kids will learn social skills through interaction and play.

“My freshman year at Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech I was accepted into the Early Childhood Education Program where I spent the next four years taking classes and gaining experience in the Childcare field. After graduating, I worked as a classroom teacher for two year old children at a local preschool and later decided daycare centers were no longer for me and I wanted to pursue my dream of opening a Family Child Care.

“Though I just started this preschool, I have always been involved with children. I have had moments all throughout my life that made me think ‘this is why I’m doing this. Being able to see a child struggle with something, and then teaching them how to overcome it, is the best feeling. It makes you feel like you are here for a purpose, to make a difference in someone’s life. Even someone as small as a child.”

In essence, she has found a way to do what she loves and make a career out of it.

At 19 years of age, she bought the house that she was not only raised in, but her parents were raised in as well. Your children are not being brought to a center or corporate facility, but a home. Which brings us to our next point: a home daycare translates into more affordable rates for you. Not having a corporate headquarters, massive staff and overhead means your wallet or purse doesn’t get beat up. It’s far cheaper than a nanny and since there are hours of operation, far more reliable than a babysitter.

Since Tiffany can care for 6 kids at a time, your child is interacting with her and the other kids, helping them develop their social skills and interacting with an authority figure and more importantly a structure that prepares them for the schools they will eventually be attending. They will never be bored with all the games, activities and interaction!

Unlike a group daycare center where the children are often separated to different rooms based on their age the children here interact. Older children learn to develop patience around the younger ones. The younger children learn new abilities and tasks from the older children.


Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack are provided at no additional charge. No. That’s not a misprint.

For those parents concerned about your child’s well-being, daycare has been shown to actually make them happier and reduce the risk of emotional problems. There’s gross motor skill development, art, music, free play, oral language work and naptime. Tiffany says it best:

“I also follow a curriculum that has different themes every week. All activities are based around that theme. I work with parents to potty train children that are ready. I have security cameras that are installed for liability purposes. If parents have concerns about something that has happened with their child, it is nice to be able to rewind and see physically what happened.”

Rarely mentioned, but equally as important is that you, the parent get to reap benefits. Not just financial ones, but having your concerns alleviated means you can stay focused on your career knowing that your child is growing and developing while doing so. Another burden that is completely removed for you, is that Tiffany offers breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack that all follow USDA guidelines at no additional charge. That cuts your grocery bill and saves you time that would be used for putting together the meals.

Whether you are caring for your child, grandchild, niece, or nephew, and you are giving daycare some serious consideration, give Tiffany’s Tots & Toddlers a call. If you are looking for a passionate, educated, accredited person who provides education, fun, and the further development and growth of your child in a safe environment and is affordable, Tiffany’s Tots & Toddlers is the place.

Tiffany’s Tots & Toddlers is open from 6:30am-5:30pm, Monday through Friday and Grant Street is easily accessible from Route 140.
