Licensed childcare in my home for infants to school-age kids. I offer pick-up from the local Elementary school in Torrance. I offer a very lightly structured program with plenty of free play both inside and outside. Full and part-time care provided included meals. I include an educational element, although it is very loosely structured. I have worked with children for many years and love to see them learn through play and interaction with each other. My prices are also very competitive. We spend time playing with puzzles, books, blocks, dolls, and other age-appropriate toys. We dance, listen to music, sing, practice colors, numbers, shapes and begin to get familiar with the alphabet. Outside we have a small slide, sandboxes, a play kitchen and house area. We also have balls, play animals, and some other fun activities included water play and bubbles. I offer homework help as well. My regular hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but I offer extended hours on a case by case basis.
