Aubergine Way Mather, CA

< 1 mi

Sunshine Daycare is a loving family environment where your child can feel safe and secure.

I plan the program to be responsive to the needs of each child, and offer opportunity for both group activity and privacy to play or work alone. I offer the opportunity for parent participation and support and welcome parent's ideas and communication.

Hello parents! I currently have two school age spots open for before/after school and off track students. I offer a loving, clean and safe in home childcare and, because I keep my child ratio low, I am able to provide a personal and attentive childcare atmosphere. For 2 years I was a teacher for children with special needs and for 4 years I was a preschool teacher. I have owned my own preschool/childcare for 8 years. I am professional, kind and loving, offering my parents top of the line childcare at an unbeatable price. -Pick up/drop off from school (depending on location) -Ensure proper and healthy meals -Encourage all homework to be done before going home -If asked, I help with homework needs and check homework

HELLO! :) I am a mother of four wonderful grown children, two precious grandbabies and a morning preschool teacher five days a week for Sacramento County. I have been teaching pre-school age children for over 25 years and in my current morning classroom for eight years now. I am extending my passion for teaching pre-school age children to a very fun afternoon learning experience in my Fair Oaks home classroom. In my 25 plus years experience guiding and teaching children I have found a pure and simple philosophy: " Provide a fun organized space with many play options, a schedule that is age appropriate with some fun change within it, warm, kind guidance with enthusiasm and you have happy children that just soar in their development. " I am able to get to know and understand the personality and learning style of each child quickly. This is highly important in order to meet their needs properly. I have created a light , spacious , organized learning environment in my home. This includes many very fun high-end toys, along with an ongoing assortment of learning tools I am constantly creating. We follow a fun schedule that each child comes to know and love. Choice time (open creative play), circle-time ( calendar, songs , movement and stories), Outside play ( gross motor development, sand , water, bubbles etc.), snack-time ( nutritious, manners taught and encouraged), puzzle time, art , puppetry. Fun~Fun~Fun!! My enrichment program runs daily from 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm with extended care available upon request. Call for a tour. Age 3 - 6 years . I will consider a child that is 2 1/2 years, potty trained and ready for a pre-school program.

I am a mom of 6 and a grandma of 4. I’ve been raising children for over 30 years. I decided to help other moms and dads to care for their precious little ones because I know how hard it is to work to provide and needing to know that your children are safe and loved. I am a Catholic Christian and I teach my little ones the importance of knowing Jesus and showing God’s love to each other. It’s part of my daily life. I love explaining to the children about Jesus and Mary and the Saints, and they love it too. We read bible stories and talk about those stories. The images around my house spark conversations with the children that are precious and amazing. I provide healthy and organic food and snacks daily. We have a garden that the children help me with and learn how their food grows. It encourages them to eat veggies. I also help with potty training. Each child learns differently and at different times. I work with my parents when they are ready. I am happy to invite you to my home for a tour. Please reach out to me via text or phone call, which is the easiest and fastest way to reach me. I will respond as soon as I have a moment. My rates listed here on this site are based on a weekly fee. Not a monthly cost. Also, the age categories are different for my daycare.

Thanks so much for inquiring in our school here at Sheldon Acres Child Development and Swim Center located off of Grant-line and Pleasant Grove School Road! A little about us; We have been operating since 1985 and we boast a veteran staff of teachers, some being with the school for over 20 years. Our Pre School & Kindergarten Readiness Programs are designed for ages 2-5 yrs. We also provide before & after school care for grades TK- 6th, and we are located on 2.5 acres of land. What separates our school from others is our classroom culture and academic rotations. Scientific studies show that preschoolers' minds are optimally stimulated in 30-minute intervals. Based on this re-search, we designed our classroom rotation program to fit your child's natural inclinations and to help stimulate their pliable minds. On a typical day at Sheldon Acres, your child will start off in his/her primary classroom with his/her primary team of teachers. Throughout the day, your child will rotate to multiple enrichment classrooms, each with its own course-specific teacher. Each of our four different enrichment classrooms consists of Arts and Crafts, Math & STEM, Language Arts (English, Spanish, and Sign Language), Dramatic Play and Music & Movement. Looking forward to scheduling a tour with you soon!
