The owner and director, Ashley, is a wonderful human who takes caring for and educating children a step beyond. I had no doubt while working with her at a previous center that my son’s wellbeing and livelihood was always important to her and he was well taken care of. For all working moms who need someone who they can trust to care for their children, I believe Ashley is one of the best.


We are absolutely thrilled with the care our 3-month-old son receives at the Big Red Barn Early Learning Center! From the very first day, we felt a sense of comfort and trust in the staff and the environment they create.

The caregivers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive, always ensuring that our little one feels safe and loved. They take the time to understand his individual needs and routines, making the transition to daycare smooth and stress-free for both him and us.

The facility is spotless, secure, and thoughtfully designed to provide a stimulating yet soothing environment for infants. The play areas are well-equipped with age-appropriate toys that encourage development and sensory exploration.

One of the aspects we appreciate the most is the open and consistent communication. We receive daily updates, photos, and notes about our son’s activities, feedings, and naps, which keeps us closely connected to his day. It’s wonderful to see how much he smiles and engages with the caregivers and other babies.

The Big Red Barn team goes above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their dedication to providing high-quality care and their genuine love for the children shine through in everything they do.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our son at the Big Red Barn Early Learning Center. It’s reassuring to know he is in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for exceptional care for their infant. Thank you, Big Red Barn, for giving our son the best possible start!

We have had a wonderful experience with the owner Ashley, both as the director of our previous daycare center and in our own home! While my oldest attended the center, Ashley was always extremely kind, organized, communicative, trustworthy, and professional. Our son was there throughout the initial Covid crisis and for about a year after, and the care and understanding that was shown to families by Ashley and the team there went above and beyond as we navigated life in a pandemic. We feel so highly of her that we have also used her in our home for childcare when our nanny is out, or for date nights, etc. and have never had one complaint! We plan on putting our youngest in The Big Red Barn once it opens and are so excited for Ashley, as we know opening her own learning center has been her dream! We love Ms. Ashley!

Going to the Big Red Barn for daycare has been such a gift. As new parents, my husband and I really struggled with the idea of daycare. But from the first day at Big Red Barn they treated us as if we were family. My son loves going to daycare and I feel so grateful dropping him off knowing that he will receive exceptional care. The owner, teachers, and staff are so positive and friendly that they always brighten our day. I could go on forever about how wonderful they are. Sending our son to the Big Red Barn has been one of the best parenting decisions we’ve made!

There are hardly words for how incredible Ashley and the Big Red Barn have been! Our son is 15 months old and in love with Ashley and Dom. They are so professional, kind, and attentive. As a new mom I couldn’t have dreamed of feeling this confident handing over our child for care. They work on development, instruct with love, give them choices to build confidence, and provide such a steady source of support for our baby and us as parents. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Absolutely incredible! You are extremely lucky if your child gets to be at the big red barn!


My husband and I recently had our first daughter and wanted to find a wholesome, loving, and safe daycare for her. We were endlessly searching for the right fit and when we toured The Big Red Barn, we just knew this was the place for Savannah. Over the last few months of Savannah attending The Big Red Barn, we have come to love the caregivers and this early learning center. It is so family oriented and you can feel the love when you step in the front doors. They focus on our daughter’s growth and development in various ways, including her spiritual growth, which we absolutely love. They keep us updated throughout the day in regards to her naps, toileting, and feedings and send us pictures daily. I can’t recommend The Big Red Barn enough!

Between Ashley and Ms. Dom, I would be surprised to find many preschools that are a better option. They are both truly the best and it’s nice to know your kid is loved and in great, attentive and caring hands when you are at work, and that is exactly what Ms. Dom and Ashley are.
