Nurture little ones in a place that feels like home
At Mama Shauna's, every child is welcomed into a warm, loving environment where curiosity is encouraged, confidence grows, and the foundations for a lifetime of learning are laid — gently and with intention.
About Us
A foundation built on love, patience, and purpose
Mama Shauna's Childcare & Preschool was founded on a simple conviction: every child deserves the kind of care that mirrors the warmth and attention they would receive at home.
Located at Williams Field High School in Gilbert, our program blends structured early learning with the comfort of a home environment. We understand that the early years shape who a child becomes — and we take that responsibility seriously, every single day.
Our caregivers are experienced, compassionate, and committed to creating an atmosphere where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and grow at their own pace.
Our Programs
Programs designed for every stage of early growth
Each program is thoughtfully structured to meet children where they are, supporting their unique developmental needs with care and intention.
Infant Care
6 weeks – 12 months
A gentle, responsive environment where infants develop trust and security. Our caregivers follow each child's rhythm — feeding, napping, and playing on schedules that honor their individual needs.
- One-on-one attention in a quiet setting

- Early language and social skill development
- Snack time and potty-training support
- Outdoor time and gross motor activities

- Kindergarten readiness curriculum
- Phonics, early math, and creative writing
- Art, music, and STEM exploration
- Social-emotional learning and conflict resolution
- Structured outdoor play and gross motor development
Our Approach
Learning through play, growing through love
We believe that young children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and emotionally secure. Our approach weaves together established early-learning frameworks with the warmth and intuition that only genuine caregiving can provide.
Play-Based Curriculum
Every lesson is designed around hands-on, interactive experiences. Children learn letters, numbers, and concepts through games, stories, art, and imaginative play — not worksheets or drills.
Emotional Intelligence
We teach children to name their feelings, express them appropriately, and develop empathy for others. Social-emotional skills are woven into every part of the day.
Partnership with Families
Parents are our most important partners. We maintain open, daily communication and welcome family involvement in our program.
Safety First
Our facility is child-proofed, supervised at all times, and maintained to the highest safety standards. Peace of mind is not optional — it is the foundation of everything we do.

What Parents Say
Trusted by families throughout Gilbert
Mama Shauna's has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our daughter went from being shy and unsure to confident and excited about school every morning. The caregivers truly treat every child like their own.
We toured several childcare centers before choosing Mama Shauna's, and it was the home-like atmosphere that made the difference. Our son feels safe, loved, and challenged every day. We couldn't be happier.
The communication from Mama Shauna's is outstanding. I receive daily updates about my daughter's meals, naps, and activities. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in such caring hands while I'm at work.
