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.
