Our story
Nineteen years of loving, personal care.
Shenika Bigelow started with a simple belief: every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved by name. That belief has guided her for nearly two decades.
A home-based daycare with heart.
Shenika didn't just open a daycare — she opened her home to Fresno families looking for something real: personal attention, genuine warmth, and a caregiver who truly cares.
With a background in behavioral support and nearly two decades working with children, Shenika brings patience, skill, and an open heart to every child in her care. She even wrote a children's book, The Lost Baby Bird — a reflection of how deeply she understands the world through a child's eyes.
The values behind every day.
You're family here

How we got here.
More than a job
Shenika discovered early childhood care wasn't just a career — it was where she truly belonged.
Experience that matters
Nearly two decades working with children, including a background in behavioral support, deepened her understanding of every child's individual needs.
Opening our doors
She opened Edden's Family Daycare to bring warm, personal, home-based care to the families of Fresno.
Still growing together
The promise is unchanged: your child is safe, loved, and known by name.
Your caregiver, Shenika.
With 19 years in childcare and a genuine love for every child she cares for — this is personal work, done personally.
