HISTORY: We open in June of 2002 in Mission Viejo, CA and moved to Ladera Ranch, Ca in December 2005. On the first years I just had the small license at that time I was working by my self, but in August of 2006 I get the Large Capacity licensed that give us the opportunity to work with my husband. Julio and I meet in Colombia our native country, when we both were at the Dentistry School, He graduated on sept 1992 and I graduated on sept 1993, we got to practice until july 1998 that we moved to Aliso Viejo, CA. I Work as a Dental Assistant in Lake Forest Dental office and at the same time went back to college to take ELS, art and Early Child Education after those classes I decided to change my career and get focus on the Early Education, that is the world that we really enjoy. PHILOSOPHY: I believe my job as a child care provider is to support the role of parents. I strive to enhance the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth of each and every child in a safe, lovely and healthy environment. Learning require children's active thinking as they play, explore, experiment, and interact with people and objects. Strong programs help children make sense of those experience. Play has enormous benefits for children. Play provides the foundation of learning. Though play children prepares to learn. These include concepts, such as letters, and numbers. As children play, they become involved in open-ended exploration, make discoveries, work on problems, make choices, and discover what interest them. We hope to see you again!
