Montessori
Child care
Montessori in the City, Inc. has operated this school since February, 1999. Our goal is to create a wonderful learning environment for the children who attend our school. Our relationships with the children, parents and our staff are key components for a quality school. The Montessori philosophy is based on encouraging children to feel important, self-reliant and independent in a nurturing environment. The indoor environment focuses on the academics and exhibits order, concentration, coordination and independence. Each child is able to progress at his or her own pace when working with the materials in the classroom. The classroom gives the children a sense of pride and responsibility. We feel that the outdoor environment is also very important to the child. Our outdoor play yards are specifically tailored to meet the needs of each age group. Our yards include several activities including the climbing gym and slide, sandbox and several riding toys. Also, when the weather is appropriate, the children get to enjoy water play and gardening. We hold several events during the school year when parents and extended family members are always invited. We feel that it is important to include family in all of our school events which brings a sense of cohesion and commitment, along with dedication, within our school. Preschool 2 1/2 through 5 years Toddler 18 months-2 1/2 years Infant 6 weeks-18months 5 day schedule is Monday- Friday 3 day schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday ( these are set days) 2-day schedule is Tuesday, Thursday ( these are set days) For more information you can visit our website at www.montessoriinthecity.com

My Daycare is small with 6 children, I find that it's sometimes better for some children to be in a smaller environment versus being overwhelmed in a larger environment where they don't get the attention they need. It's small, warm and homey feeling, where the child feels more at home. Little Rascals Kid Care is located close to Sac State University, River park and Downtown Sacramento. In my clean and safe home, with my large safe backyard, your children will have room to run and play and express themselves. Little Rascals Kid-Care is focused on providing a clean, caring, safe, loving and nurturing environment for your kids. I offer variety of activities to help your children learn and grow including books, puzzles, arts and crafts. Outside play area is fenced in with outdoor artificial grass turf and completely shaded for a safe and enjoyable outside play where they can run and and play without concerns of dirt or itchy grass. I am a 62 yr old grandmother with more than 16 years of childcare preschool teaching experience. I am a licensed childcare provider through the State of California, with 37 Units and a Degree in Early Childhood Education and Development as well as CPR and First Aid certified. If you like more information please feel free to contact me. Flexible hours, References Available upon request.

Kindergarten
Preschool
EmpowerME Preschool and Childcare programs make quality early childhood education accessible to all young children, by making it affordable, even on a single income budget. The same level of quality care is extended to school-age children on all days that school is closed. The home-like environment, emphasis on values and culturally responsive programming encourage self-expression and emphasize social-emotional development, ensuring children become positive members of the community. Our approach to providing quality preschool ensures children will successfully transition to kindergarten, both meeting the California Preschool Guidelines for pre-academic attainment and because children are empowered to name their emotions, negotiate conflict, act independently, and communicate their needs– all skills that are crucial as they enter a learning environment with higher expectations and teacher: student ratios. Our school-age Non-School Day care programs continue nurturing our children by: diving deeper into our values and creating opportunities for them to demonstrate those values in peer interactions, while also, maintaining bonds created in earlier EmpowerME environments. Designed to be a safe, fun, affordable resource to working families, we are currently enrolling for our Preschool Program and a Pre-K/Kinder Program. EmpowerME's warm, nurturing environment, works in partnership with families to provide individualized learning that supports your child's development. Our Preschool Classroom serves children ages 2 and up (must be potty trained). Highlights of the preschool program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Cognitive, emotional, social, physical and language skill development that produces a lifelong love of learning -Introductory curriculum for letters, numbers, shapes, colors, writing, math and science in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options Our All Day-Pre-K/Kinder classroom is perfect for 4/5/6 year-olds who are mastering skills for kindergarten entry (as determined by the California Preschool Learning Guidelines) AND kindergarteners in need of supplemental learning during before and after school childcare. Highlights of the program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Curriculum in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations and Core Knowledge -Language Arts to ensure a successful transition to/ completion of Kindergarten -Regular assessments in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options

Hello wonderful parents! My name is Zee and I am a credentialed elementary school teacher who has worked in Sacramento City Unified, Fairfield Suisun Unified and Natomas Unified School Districts throughout the years. I am also a licensed child care provider and I have a small family oriented daycare in my home on La Riviera Drive near the 50 freeway. I absolutely love working with children and will be adding in a half day preschool very soon to my daycare. I focus on each child as a whole growing person and I provide values, educational skills needed and support for each child's growth as an individual. I do not rush children on where they are said to be but I help them grow from where they are at their own pace. I love partnering with families in these very important next steps in their child's life. I have available spaces for a few more children and I am open to meet with families to check out my daycare. My official start date is May 29th so I am filling spaces now for that date moving forward. Thank you and have a blessed day!

I am the primary child care provider of Natomas Child Care, a state licensed in-home family child care serving the North Natomas area of Sacramento. I am located just north of the Safeway shopping center, off of the I-5 freeway. We provide affordable child care out of our home, focused on creativity & hands-on learning approaches. We provide nutritional meals & snacks. Our goal is to give children a comfortable, home-like experience where they feel free to express themselves while discovering, creating & ultimately learning & developing to the fullest of their abilities. I love children! I have been sitting for the last 15 years because I enjoy being around kids so much. I was a live-in nanny while in college for my undergraduate schooling & am the oldest of 6 myself, so I've been around kids a lot. (Let me know if you would like to contact my references). I also value continuing education for the betterment of the quality of the program I keep; I have earned my Bachelors in Early Childhood Development and an Executive MBA from the California State University, Sacramento. All of my assistants are actively attending school and have taken courses in Early Childhood Education. We own our home in a newer quiet neighborhood. We have dedicated 825 sq ft to strictly daycare space, including an enclosed outdoor patio. My staff & I are all currently certified in CPR & First Aid, have criminal background checks & clearances on file with the Department of Social Services, & have our certificates in Health & Safety Prevention. For interests I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, creating & playing with my little ones. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Thanks for your time & consideration!
