Personalized Childcare

Family atmosphere, personalized childcare: We have a wonderful environment of fun, love, and learning. I take care of two boys, age 6 years old and 2 years old, in the Excelsior area. We are looking to add another child (or two!) to the bunch during the upcoming school year so the young one especially can have a playmate(s) while the older one is in kindergarten. We have a very personalized environment of fun and learning; we love the outdoors, baking, arts and crafts, music, and lots of outings: parks, beaches, zoo, nature exploration, museums, libraries, churches, festivals, etc. We try to make play creative and explorative, and learning fun and challenging. I am open to heads tarting your children in music, (I play piano and guitar), Spanish or French, faith formation, etc. Feel free to address any questions whatsoever to myself, the care provider, or the parents of the boys I currently take care of. Currently our care hours have been daytime work hours Monday - Thursday, but we can certainly be flexible.
