Aurora was our nanny for over three years and continues to babysit for us regularly. Our three boys were between 0-6 when she was with us full time. We all miss having Aurora in the house everyday. She always shows up on time (or a few minutes early), 100% ready to jump in and help make whatever needs to happen, happen. She is proactive, efficient, reliable, responsible and so loving. We have three young, high-energy boys and Aurora kept pace with them no problem and with a smile on her face. She genuinely enjoys being with children, relating to them, caring for them, and playing with them. So many times, Aurora was on the floor playing Legos with the boys, outside digging in the dirt with construction vehicles, or sitting reading a book with all three kids curled up on her lap and around her. Additionally, Aurora was incredibly helpful with so many things around the house including kids laundry and dinner, and she made my life so much easier. Aurora is a gem.

Little Builders Preschool & Daycare

127 Hemlock Avenue, Redwood City, CA

Starting at $100/day

Little Builders is a Spanish immersion family preschool and daycare in Redwood City since 2014. We accept 18 months - 5 years old. The first year we are limited to 6 students and enroll full time students only. We believe that immersing children in real life activities through play is highly beneficial for their physical and sociological development. Through daily activities, we aim to inspire children to try new tasks and think outside the box. Along their journey of learning and development, children may struggle to adapt to new situations however we believe that with the correct support and encouragement they can learn to solve problems themselves.

The Spanish-speaking population is number two in not only California but the US with only Mandarin outranking Spanish as the language spoken by the most number of people in the world. For this reason, at Little Builders preschool and daycare, we offer all day immersive Spanish instruction. Children who are exposed to other languages at an early age score higher on standardized tests, become better problem solvers, and perform better in school overall. We believe that children learn a language easier when immersed in everyday activities. At our preschool and daycare, all communication and teaching will be in Spanish and our goal is for your child to be able to communicate fluently in Spanish when they leave us.
