Boomlet Family Child Care

4514 Fairbairn Ave Oakland, CA

We are a small family child care home in the Maxwell Park neighborhood of Oakland, CA. We take a small number of kids (maximum 6 under 5, plus up to 2 school age) and take pride in nurturing and caring for each one individually. Our Philosophies: -Children learn through play. Research consistently shows that children under the age of 7 learn by playing. We provide lots of opportunities to facilitate play, including imaginary play, sensory play, independent play, and social play. -Children, especially in an urban environment, have a deficit of experience in the outdoors. We spend as much waking time outside as possible in our backyard. In addition to lots of outdoor play options, we have a worm bin, and small garden that the kids can participate in helping with or just dig in the dirt! -Children should learn independent skills within their abilities. We follow a montessori-inspired approach to helping kids learn independent skills by teaching them to get their own food, put on their own jackets and shoes, and clean up after themselves. -Children should eat healthy, fresh food and learn to love eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. We believe in limiting processed foods and sweetened beverages. Any food we provide meets this criteria, including organic as much as possible. We encourage parents to follow these guidelines as well when providing food for their children. -We love art! We try to find the beauty and art in everything around us and participate in as many art activities as we can. -Children s growth should be enriched with learning language. We hire bilingual teachers to speak to our children in languages besides English. I have a Master's degree in communication and 10+ years in teaching and working in the tech industry. I am a stay-at-home mom now and believe in nurturing kids in a place that feels relaxing and homey, but also fun and exciting, that explores kids natural curiosity and gives them an opportunity to grow and explore on their own timing.

Holistic Seedlings

255 FREMONT ST, 108A SAN FRANCISCO, CA

Hello! My name is Massiva, and I am the founder of Holistic Seedlings Daycare. I have been working with children for over 17 years, both as a mother and as a professional childcare provider in the U.S. and in Southern France. I run the program alongside my mom and my husband, Younes, who was an early elementary teacher for ten years in our home country. We feel incredibly blessed to care for your little ones while raising our own children as a family. My inspiration to create this program came after the birth of my youngest child. I know first-hand how important it is to have a safe, loving environment where children can grow—and I wanted to provide that same space for other families. My older children attend Montessori and project-based schools, and I draw inspiration from both philosophies to shape Holistic Seedlings. I love how intentional the learning environments are—inviting curiosity, creativity, and imagination in every child. I am deeply passionate about hands-on, nature-inspired activities and cooking with children. Anything we can smash, splash, squeeze, shape, taste, or explore—while learning something new each day—fills us with joy. The children are always delighted when I introduce a new activity, and I find myself happily rediscovering the simple pleasures of childhood alongside them. You can get a glimpse of our daily rhythm by visiting our Instagram page: @holisticseedlings. Additionally, please click here to read what families have to say about us. https://www.wonderschool.com/ca/san-francisco/holistic-seedlings-wonderschool-1007 I hold a B.A. in Human Services and a B.A. in Theatre from Université Le Mirail in Toulouse, France, as well as a B.A. in Archaeology and Art from Bonn University in Germany. I also earned a Certificate in Early Childhood Education and most recently completed a Holistic Nutrition program, where I focused on healthy living and raising happy, thriving children. I’m excited to bring these teachings into our daily practice at Holistic Seedlings. Outside of the classroom, some of my favorite hobbies include hiking and exploring Bay Area trails, swimming, traveling, reading about alternative medicine and nutrition, and cooking. I love weaving my passion for holistic wellness into both my family life and our program, giving children the healthiest start possible. At Holistic Seedlings, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive when they feel safe, loved, and nurtured. Our goal is to provide an environment where children feel welcomed and at home. In our program, every child is supported as they explore new ideas and experiences. Our approach blends Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and play-based philosophies, enriched with plenty of arts, crafts, and hands-on activities. We believe children develop social, cognitive, and emotional skills best through meaningful experiences. Our environment is responsive to the children in our care, allowing their interests to guide their learning and engagement. Our Lead Teacher, Massiva, is a certified Holistic Nutritionist, so nutrition and physical wellness are central to our daily curriculum. We prepare everything from scratch, and children are encouraged to help make their own snacks—and sometimes even breakfast and lunch. Our goal is to support children’s development in all aspects of life while giving them a healthy foundation. A core value of our holistic approach is flexibility—adapting the environment to meet the unique needs of each child. Children are not placed into a rigid setting; instead, they enter a space that evolves with their interests and needs. Our holistic childcare approach nurtures all areas of development: • Emotional needs are supported through effective caregiving techniques and play-based learning. • Social needs are encouraged by providing opportunities to explore, collaborate, and build relationships in a safe environment. • Physical needs are met with a dynamic schedule that incorporates movement, outdoor play, and a connection to nature whenever possible. We also provide natural, wooden, non-toxic toys that inspire open-ended, creative play. As a mixed-age program, we tailor our teaching and care to the different stages and needs of every child. Finally, please dress your little ones ready to get “messy”! We’re here to create joyful memories and meaningful experiences together. If our program speaks to you, we warmly invite you to reach out with any questions—we’d love to hear from you.

Care Member says "We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Holistic seedlings From the very first day, Massiva has been warm, attentive, and incredibly caring. They...

Emergency, Backup or Short-Term Childcare in your home or mine. Daytime, weekends and overnight too. I may care for sick children in your home if I have no other children that day. ABOUT ME: I am a single mom of 2 young school aged boys. I have many years experience in caring for children, both my own and others. I am not a sit-around kind of mom. I am a kind, nurturing, eco-conscious person. Your child will have games, crafts, cooking, outdoor time and some outings to the park or other fun places (at your ok). ABOUT MY HOME: I have a large home on the East End of Alameda with a playroom filled with toys appropriate for children of various ages. I also have a fenced driveway and a large yard with play structures, swings, grass and a fun little hill to run down. I have an extra bed and a crib for nap times and a large kitchen for making nutritious meals and snacks (plus a few treats). We watch very little television in my home - what we do watch is educational. AVAILABILITY: Flexible hours, short-notice, after school pick-up, school days off, weekends and overnights too. I'll fill in for your usual child care provider during illness, vacation, family emergencies or mom needs some time off. I'm also available as a backup, or an occasionally regular basis or a few hours a week. I may even be available to care for your sick child in your home if you need to go to work. Since I am a single mom, I can make arrangements with my boys' dad for some extended periods or overnights if needed. I have been a child care provider since high school and have taken numerous child development classes including Waldorf education classes. I co-founded Crosstown Coffeehouse and Community Center and developed the early literacy and kids craft programs and hosted the Cowboy Jared sing-alongs. I have lead sing-alongs and dance-alongs at the Alameda Multicultural Center. I serve on the board at Alameda Head Start and Alameda Family Services. I teach Sunday school at Alameda Christian Reformed Church and I am also the nursery coordinator there. Infant and Child CPR, First Aid, and Asthma Certified

Discover an authentic Montessori school in the heart of Emeryville. Our preschool campus offers programs for infants (3 months) through kindergarten (6 years), where children experience an authentic Montessori environment. Our trained teachers have created beautifully prepared spaces. They, together with the assistant teachers and after school staff, are a passionate group of educators eager to make your child's first school experience joyful and rewarding. Our loft-like spacious preschool building, a converted former warehouse, features purpose-built classrooms, with child-height sinks, small toilets, bright windows and direct access to the outside from each classroom. In the back of the building, secured from the street via fencing and sturdy stores, children play on a natural play area, complete with grass, a sandbox, and a hill with a slide. A rooftop deck excites children with gardening boxes and a tricycle path. Infants have a cozy separate play area all their own. On rainy days, all children enjoy access to an indoor gross motor area, complete with climbing wall, which is also a great place for active after school programs, such as yoga and gymnastics. For toddlers and preschool, you can choose between an English language Montessori program, or a Mandarin immersion program, where the entire Montessori experience is delivered in Mandarin Chinese. Infants experience a bilingual program (with both Mandarin-speaking and English-speaking staff). Whether you are an English monolingual, looking for a more global education, or a Chinese-speaker who wants to help your child to learn Chinese in a more joyful way, we invite you to discover Mandarin Montessori at LePort.
