About Us
Welcome to the Toddler Patch, recently featured on NBC 30.
My name is Sarah Rice and I am the owner of
The
Toddler
Patch.
I am 37 years old and have been a resident of West Hartford, CT all my life.
I am married to my best friend Jay and we have three beautiful children.
Victoria is our oldest, she is fifteen years old and is a freshman in high
school. Matthew is our middle child, he is thirteen years old and is a 7th
grader in middle school. Cameron is our youngest and will be turning two
years old in May. My husband Jay works for a Fortune 100 insurance company.
I have over a decade of
experience with Juvenile Diabetes. My son Matthew was diagnosed with Type
1 Diabetes when he was two years old. He has always had excellent control
of his blood sugar levels and is now working hard to become self-sufficient in
managing his Diabetes. I am happy to provide care for other children who
have Diabetes. Parents will have peace of mind knowing their child is
being cared for by a qualified trustworthy mother who understands the commitment
and dedication it takes to keep a child with Diabetes safe and healthy.
Since I was a child I have always dreamed of becoming a mother and have enjoyed being surrounded by children. For the last 15 years I have been a school bus driver here in West Hartford and I have loved every single minute of it. I am so excited to be given the opportunity to open a home daycare where I can spend quality time with my own children while at the same time providing other families with tender loving child care.
"I have nothing but good things to say about The Toddler Patch. The owner,
Sarah, has cared for my daughter several times and I have always felt
comfortable and satisfied with the care she receives. Sarah is kind,
patient and professional. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone
looking for affordable quality daycare." - Erin K.
"A wonderful and trusting environment!" - Fran S.
