Gwinnett County's answer to the childcare gap
Lee-Bella's No Place Like Home CDC will be a licensed Child Development Center operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Gwinnett County, Georgia, with extended evening and overnight hours that go far beyond what traditional daycare centers offer. We are built specifically for the families who have been left behind by standard daycare hours — with closures only when severe weather or major holidays make safe operation impossible.
"To provide safe, nurturing, and exceptional childcare to families in Gwinnett County around the clock — so that no parent ever has to choose between their livelihood and their child's wellbeing. At Lee-Bella's, there truly is no place like home."
Gwinnett County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, with over 950,000 residents — tens of thousands of whom work non-traditional hours. Night-shift nurses, first responders, hotel workers, warehouse staff, and single parents currently have virtually no reliable childcare after 6:00 PM. Lee-Bella's fills that gap with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to family.
The center will begin by leasing a 1,500–2,500 sq ft commercial space, serving 15–25 children with plans to expand. Every aspect — from our flexible enrollment options to our door-to-door transportation service — is designed with the working family in mind.
What guides us in everything we do
Every child should feel safe, loved, and at home — no matter the hour.
Far beyond the typical 9-to-5 — evenings, overnights, and early mornings, with closures only when safety requires it.
We work with parents, not just for them — communication is everything.
Age-appropriate curriculum and enriching activities every single day.
Background-checked staff, secure facilities, and certified in first aid & CPR.
We are rooted in Gwinnett County and committed to lifting our community up.
