First Years Learning Center
First Years Learning Center is a home daycare in Northern Virginia serving children two and under. As enrollment grew, owner Claudia Tramontana needed a refreshed brand identity that reflected her passion for early childhood education and her reputation for providing affordable, high-quality care.
Key Contributions:
Identified the need for a new identity that could grow with the business and better represent its values.
Designed a playful logo featuring a colorful caterpillar and hand-drawn lettering, symbolizing creativity, growth, and early learning milestones.
Created a bright, cheerful color palette inspired by daycare play mats and applied it across branded promotional items to support visibility and recognition.
Results:
Delivered a brand identity that captured the warmth and purpose of the daycare while supporting Claudia’s expansion to a larger facility. The rebrand increased enrollment and strengthened the center’s presence in the community.
