97 Vía La Cumbre LARKSPUR, CA

My name is Meire, and I have over 25 years of experience working with children. I am passionate about early childhood development and dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for every child in my care. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers, and I hold multiple certifications in Early Childhood Education, including CPR and First Aid. My goal is to support each child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development through age-appropriate activities. My daycare program includes music classes, a preschool program, creative play, and structured learning activities designed to help children grow and thrive. I focus on building routines that promote independence, confidence, and positive behavior while ensuring children feel secure and loved. I believe in open communication with families and creating a warm, family-oriented environment where children can learn, play, and feel at home.

Children's Cottage Co-Op

2900 Larkspur Landing Cir Larkspur, CA

< 1 mi

"The Cottage Co-op is a play-based cooperative preschool where parents share in the joy and wonder of their child's first educational experience. When you come into our school please remember it is a child's world. Their ideas...their work...their fun!! Sometimes a child's idea of decoration, beauty and good housekeeping does not coincide with an adult's. A child's imagination is great! Children can do wonderful things: paint the wind, dance like a leaf and find joy and happiness in performing simple tasks. These are abilities that an adult may have lost along the way. Enter and return for a brief visit to the wonderful world of young children. Enjoy their enthusiasm for living and learning. "
