A Legacy of Care and Commitment
Since 1984, Teddy’s Place Childcare has been a trusted partner for families who needed a place to leave their children as they worked. Teddy’s Place Childcare offers a safe and enriching space where children can learn and grow. Sharlot Bogart founded Teddy’s Place as a small child care center and has since flourished into a premier childcare facility for children of all ages. With a strong focus on child development, strong relationships, and emotional well-being, we have built a reputation as a welcoming and warm learning environment. As Sharlot transitions into her next chapter in life, our long-time team members Amy and Basia are ensuring her legacy will remain intact.
Amy Ellis has spent 30+ years at Teddy’s Place as she expertly manages enrollments, staff, and billing while supporting classrooms when needed. Basia Kalafut, a 4K Lead Teacher, has been at the center since 2011 and has 20+ years in early education. She brings valuable expertise and passion to the classroom daily. She has also been a mentor for the teachers and will continue in that role.
