At Early childhood Learning Academy we believe the first five years of a child’s life are crucial in laying the foundation for later developments, and we believe that the emotional domain is foundational to all other developmental domains. Moreover, we believe in the importance of early experiences and early literacy, we provide our children with a stimulating curriculum, consistent structure, and plenty of indoors and outdoors play. And we build children’s feelings that they are respected and competent which motivates their desire to learn and follow direction. We challenge children in a realistic way without pressure, and without causing any stress or discouragement. Our curriculum fosters an individualized approach to teaching and flexibility to facilitate children’s learning. Our teachers are dedicated and offer plenty of one-on-one attention. Our children are not restrained, they are gently taught and they acquire excellent literacy, math and social-emotional skills by the time they graduate to kindergarten . In the last 7 years we were able to track ECLA students and follow their progress in elementary school. Year after year we find that ECLA alumni are doing very well and in most cases they are top of their class.

I'm a mother of three girls, 22, 25, and 29. My husband and I have been married 31 years this October. While our girls were growing up, I took of care of children, one or two at a time, sometimes 3 or 4 as our girls got older. I've cared for infants, toddlers and while our girls were in elementary school and middle school, after school care. My love of children also carried over to when I owned a Jazzercise franchise for 19 years. During this time, in addition to teaching adult classes, I also taught classes for K-5th grade. I taught PE at a few schools, held after school programs, and summer camps. I also volunteered at a school every spring for 9 of those years by teaching a dance to the four kindergarten classes for their Dance Fest. I'm still caring for children just 1-2 at a time so I can give the children all of my attention. I love reading to the children in my care, going on walks to the park, singing, bubbles, play dough and arts and crafts. Most recently I was taking care of a little boy, 22 months old. I cared for him since he was 4 months, they recently moved. If you're looking for a small, loving, home daycare situation with someone who loves to read to your children and has wonderful references, please contact me.

Hello, welcome to Willow Glen Daycare! My name is &quot;Keirsty (pronounced Keer-stee) and I am a mom of 10 yr old twin boys. Prior to becoming a mom and a daycare provider, I worked as a Marriage Family Therapist and switched careers shortly after the babies were born. I have been in business 5 years and love what I do! Because I am a very small business and maintain a low enrollment, I am able to give your children all the time and attention they require. I follow a typical pre-school structure with a mixture of free time and planned exploration activities focusing on creativity and imagination. I start the day with circle time that involves music, movement and a story and, if the weather permits, we set out for a morning walk. I live on a nice street where neighbors know each other and kids play outside. Sometimes we'll walk around the neighborhood and if we are feeling more adventurous we will head to a local park or story time at the library. I provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment for your children that allows them the opportunity to develop and grow in a home away from home environment. Collaboration with parents is essential to a successful partnership. I aim for a co-parenting style and work with parents to understand and support their children's every need from an emotional, physical and behavioral standpoint. With a maximum 3:1 ratio I'm able to support your children through every developmental milestone and have them preschool ready when the times comes. I know juggling work and home life has its challenges and I am here to assist! My children are in San Jose Unified School District and with the school hours and various school holidays, it can be hard to organize care for siblings. Because of my low enrollment I have plenty of room to accommodate siblings daycare needs and I'm happy to help. Weekly full time rate: $475.00 Open from 7:00am-5:30pm COVID: Due to the pandemic I take safety and health cautions very seriously for the protection of your family and mine. We sanitize hands and take temperatures before entering, wash hands throughout the day and I sanitize in the evening in preparation for the next day. My family is vaccinated but, with all of the uncertainties, we remain cautious.
