Marissa's Daycare is located in the Woodbury section of Irvine. Although my home daycare license allows me to care for 8 children, I have chosen to limit it to no more than 5 or 6 so that I may provide a quality daycare program based on a preschool curriculum. I will also take great care to make your child feel secure and happy in a warm, friendly, fun, safe, and clean environment. Your child will enjoy: -Fun and enriching activities -Music, arts and crafts, story time, and special holiday projects -Age-appropriate toys and educational materials -Sensory tables and outdoor play -A nutritional breakfast, lunch, and two snacks daily. My daycare is open every week except Christmas week, for which you will not be charged. The only other holiday closings are Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after. My experience has been working with young children as an elementary school teacher, a nanny for infants and toddlers, and a swimming instructor and lifeguard.
