Janene Fantini, Owner

Janene Fantini has owned two daycare facilities, Kids Klub Childcare (2000-2011) and Little Hands Childcare (2015-present).  After searching for a daycare that would provide a nurturing and educational environment for her 3 year old son, she decided to open her own daycare and create a space that would make her and other parents feel comfortable with their child’s day while they are at work. Janene brings more than 28 years of experience working in and running daycare centers in New York. She graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 1992 with a degree in Elementary Education and continues to take OCFS approved trainings to stay current on developmentally appropriate practices to instil in her facility.
