Providing a nurturing, hands-on environment where every child is welcomed and supported at their own pace. I offer pick-up and drop-off services to and from school, ensuring a smooth and seamless day for your child. With extended hours from 6 AM to 10 PM, I can accommodate a variety of schedules to meet your family’s needs. Meals are thoughtfully prepared, with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner provided daily. I take it a step further by offering "farm-to-daycare" experiences—growing our own food, including fresh produce and raising chickens. This gives children the opportunity to learn firsthand about caring for animals and harvesting eggs, all while enjoying playtime on the farm. With a commitment to fostering growth, creativity, and a love for nature, your child will have an enriching, educational, and fun-filled day in a warm and caring environment.

Kid Works Children’s Center is a play-based and developmental preschool serving children who are 3 - 5 years old and who are potty trained. *** We have 2 programs: Full-Day and Half-Day *** Full-Day Hours: 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Last Friday of the month *** Half-Day Hours: 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Monday to Friday *** Weekly yoga & mindfulness enrichment is included in the monthly tuition. For an additional fee, we also offer an afternoon Spanish Immersion enrichment for children who are 4 - 6 years old. *** Early childhood is such a brief time in one’s life, and research and experience tell us that young children learn best through exploratory hands-on experiences, rather than through worksheets and the rote memorization of facts. Our teaching practices support the needs of Generation Alpha children and the fast changing and unpredictable world that they are growing up in. We follow tenets of different pedagogies to create our own brand of child-centered care and education. We value community-based and constructivist pedagogies that nurture the whole child (Reggio, Montessori, Waldorf) and we also have an amazing outdoor classroom and take full advantage of being outdoors to play and connect with nature (nature-based education). Teachers at Kid Works see themselves as partners for the children and parents, and in partnership we can better support the growth and development of your little one. Kid Works is a dream for young children everywhere!

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.
