    Hello! My name is Colleen Duran and I am the sole Owner / Director of Colleen's Cuddle Bugs Child Care, Pre-School and Infant Center Inc. I have an Amazing family that I am Blessed with… A loving husband and four beautiful daughters.  I am also completely Blessed to be a grammy of an adorable little boy & two little princesses!  I feel as though I am a second "mommy" to 45 children every single day at Colleen's Cuddle Bugs Inc. I operated a State Licensed Home Daycare for over 20 years. 

 

My dream was to someday open my own pre-school and I can honestly say I am now "living my dream" and loving every minute of it! My facility is a warm and inviting environment for little ones to feel safe and secure while experiencing the wonders of the world all around them. 

 

My objective is to provide a nurturing atmosphere in which every child is able to develop socially, emotionally and physically at their own individual pace. My staff have been carefully selected and each of us play an incredibly important role in the daily involvement of every child. I look forward to your family becoming a part of ours, here at Colleen's Cuddle Bugs!
