Celebrating my 40th year in the child care industry. I have seen so many changes. The one thing that has always stayed the same is the children. Routine, Schedule, Education, Music, Movement ,Creative Play, Nutritious Meals and lots of love, has been the timeless key to my business success for all these years. Preparing your children for school and life is what we do here. Children help with daily responsibilities. Searing meals, clearing plates, cleaning up after playtime and cleaning up there bed rolls after nap and putting them away. I am enrolled in a state food program. With this programs comes yearly training and quarterly monitoring of all meals and snacks served to your child. Children love to cook. Cooking day is one of there favorite days. Our morning is full of music, movement and education. Free play in the yard with enough bikes and toys to go around. Imagination is limitless while in there minds they climb towers and chase dragons around the yard. Computer skills are so important even to the preschooler. ABC Mouse is the program we use. This programs allows them to learn at their own pace gaining confidence in themselves daily. Social skills and manners play a huge roll daily for each child. The younger children learn from the older ones. They look to each other for support, laughter and friendship. My goal is to provide quality child Care for you and your child. To stimulate their educational and social abilities.

Parentz View Child Care is a Large Licensed In Home Family Day Care located in Costa Mesa, in the Mesa Verde housing track. I've been in business for 11 years now. I originally started my daycare after having a bad experience with a Licensed provider where my daughter attended. After that ordeal I quit my job to be able to stay home with her. I felt like there was no way I would trust anyone watching her. Knowing that she wasn't the only child not getting their needs met by a loving "2nd Mom", I knew I'd be making a difference if I started my own. One less child being neglected...that's how I looked at it. Since then, it's grown into a daycare that I am completely proud of, of which Yelp nominated #1 in Orange County out of all Daycare Facilities AND Centers. At Parentz View Child Care we provide all healthy meals which includes Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Snack. Not only do I provide nurturing and loving care for their daily needs, but I also provide a preschool curriculum that is fun and has challenging activities that promote all aspects of their development. Unlike a Preschool Center or Montessori, where your child could get lost or unnoticed in the crowded, over filled classrooms, we have maximum 12 children with 2 Child Care Providers. My home has comfortable furniture, cozy nooks and an enriching play room that creates a warm environment for your little ones. When your child comes to my house, they won't just feel like they are going to school or day care, they will feel like they are visiting with family, that just so happens to teach them fun new things throughout the day! Please view many more of my Testimonials on my website at www.parentzview.com

Finally, to hold firm to the words of Maria Montessori, “The education of the very young child does not prepare him for school, but for life.” We hope to meet you soon!
