Shooting Stars Daycare proudly adheres to the highest standards of education and caregiving. This is a licensed home daycare business located in San Carlos, near Mission Trails National Park. My life has been dedicated to caregiving, specializing in infants and toddlers. I've made a career working closely with parents as a Nanny for their babies for the last 20 plus years. Once I had my daughter, I knew in my heart a home daycare is my dream come true. I absolutely love working with children everyday. They constantly remind you of the simple pleasures in life and I feel so grateful to be teaching the next generation. I earned a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, Labor Doula certified, and almost certified as a sleep consultant. A combination of education and experience has taught me the most beneficial ways to help teach and care for our kiddos. I believe we offer so much more than other daycares. Each child is so different and this daycare considers the needs of your unique child. Their schedule is tailored to their everyday needs.We will be setting developmental goals to work towards together each month. Your child won't be forced to adhere to the other children schedule. They will have their own room to nap in. I believe this is very important! Especially for the infants since their schedule changes weekly, even daily depending on how their night went. The best part of my job is growing a strong bond with the parents and their child. I love each baby as I would my own. That is what they need and that is what I will provide. As a parent, peace of mind is one of the best gifts knowing your child is being loved while being educated and stimulated for their individual growth. I've been committed to providing a supportive environment where our child can thrive. Soar like a shooting star in the sky! Please keep reading to learn more about our daycare and I'd love to learn about your family too!

Before we began our family I was working for SDUSD Children Centers as a Preschool Teacher. Peppergrove is a developmentally based Preschool Program with hands-on learning activities. Science, Art and Music are an integral part of the curriculum. Curriculum is set-up in two week units and has one broad subject such as 'how plants grow', 'bugs and butterflies'... along with the basics---letters, numbers, shapes. Language is a critical component as well. As an emergent reader it is the Preschoolers doorway to not only strong reading skills and mastering math but also their ability to problem solve. The Preschool is separate from the rest of the house. The classroom consist of the Rug Room which has the science table and floor activities such as blocks, cars, manipulative... It is also were we do Group Time and Music. The Art Room is for table activities such as drawing, puzzles, games, art projects... This is also where we eat and it has the bathroom. The last room is Dramatic Play for dress-up and housekeeping. It also has a funky piano that the children may use 'to make music'. Academics are important but a positive self image is essential and directly related to school success. It is the most important thing a child needs in order to reach their full potential. It is my objective to offer a challenging classroom setting which promotes both learning and a positive self-image. I am very proud of this program. We offer a safe, nurturing, learning environment. Because we are small, we can prepare each child for kindergarten while embracing their unique talents and strength.

Here at Children of the King, your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, which promote all aspects of development. Family childcare provides for children the comfort and experience of belonging to an extended family. My approach to childcare is child centered and child directed. Children are offered choices whenever possible. Your child will bring home a newsletter each month, which will give a brief overview of what we will be doing. There will be occasions that you might not visually see projects going home constantly but know that there is work constantly being done. We believe a child's early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be treated and respected as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, question, and imagination. We respect each child's need for love, security, acceptance, warmth, and stimulation.

Our Mission: Every child deserves a strong start in life. In a safe and nurturing environment, we will provide an early childhood program that adheres to each child's need in all areas of development. Lessons and activities will be planned by credentialed teachers with the whole child in mind. Children will be supported, comforted, and encouraged. Our team will use professional skills and strategies to provide a stimulating environment that will inspire children to explore and discover new things. Program Philosophy: We strive to bring the importance of early literacy in a child’s first 5 years of life. It is our responsibility to prepare children for what's to come in Kindergarten by providing them the tools and skills they need to meet all requirements for their age if not exceeding them. We find all areas in a child's development extremely important and vital to each child's success. However, we’d like to add one more that we find equally important. The early foundations of reading give children the power to read fluently and with ease which will later translate into a love for learning. At Busy Bees Child Development Center, you will find teachers using professional teaching strategies and love to teach your children the love for reading in the most natural and fun environment. We do this to prevent the struggles many children have their first year in kindergarten when their sense of self confidence diminishes as they struggle to meet the standards their peers are achieving around them. No child should fall out of love for learning simply because they were not prepared for school. At Busy Bees, children have the start every child deserves.
