Hi Parents, My name is Francesca Sanfilippo (formerly Sciuto) and I have been running a licensed and insured, in-home daycare in my lovely home in the Mission Hills area for over 29 years. I am and remain current with my CPR and First Aid certifications. I consider myself to be a loving, nurturing, energetic, and hands on caregiver who treats my children as I did my own. It is common for me to have parents bring their second and third children to me. I specialize in infant toddler care. I am bilingual in Italian/English. I have been licensed and registered with the State of California Community Care Licensing referral list for 29+ years and I have a perfect record from licensing! My home has easy access for drop-off and pickup. I limit my care to three children to insure that each child receives my personal love, care, and attention.

Oh Fran! We love her so! Our daughter is currently in her care, and she gives us such peace of mind. My mother in law (who ran a home daycare for over 30 years before retiring), met her right before our daughter started and gave her a huge thumbs up, which means a lot coming from another care provider. She's really like family and loves your baby so much. She works with us and is so flexible. We couldn't love Fran more!

Hello my name is Lina. I've been a childcare since 1995 and I love my job! I am located in Mission Hills, close to Little Italy and Downtown. I have years of experience with Newborns, Infants and Toddlers. I am CPR/1st Aid certified and have a level 3 certification in Reiki. (Hands on Healing). I speak English as well as Sicilian. I am a loving, nurturing, caring, attentive daycare provider. I keep my daycare ratio small 1:4 so that the children have more attention. I am a loving, nurturing, caring provider with 24 years of experience.

I was very anxious about putting my 4 1/2 month old daughter in daycare, and visited several daycares - both in-home and daycare centers. I left each time feeling sad and unsure if there was ever going to be the right fit for daughter. However, from the first moment I met Lina, I felt at-ease and confident that she would give my daughter the attention and affection that she needed. From the first day that we dropped her off with Lina, my daughter has been happy and now smiles the minute she sees her each morning. Lina is great at communicating what's going on each day, and the small childcare ratio has helped my daughter socialize and not become as clingy to me as she used to be (sad for Mama, but ultimately a good thing!). I couldn't ask for a better caretaker!

Hello and thank you for looking.
My name is Tammy.
With degrees in Child Development and Inspired by child development's best, I bring fun, excitement, and love for learning into young minds and lives. My approach to teaching is based on a strong belief that children learn through play. I believe that learning is not taught, it is experienced. I provide fun hands on activities for children to explore, discover and investigate.
With over 20 years of childcare experience and multiple degrees in child development, I am not your ordinary home daycare provider.
It is my desire and hopes to enrich little people's minds, to give them a hunger and passion for learning.
It is also my personal goal to provide a place where children want to come, an environment that is welcoming, loving, safe and encouraging to children.
I'm a highly recommended daycare, please see me.

I'm located off the 805/15 and Market I'm close to the 94 as well.

If you are interested please give me a call and we can set up a tour time, (which are in the evenings, as I don't allow strangers in during daycare hours).

Thank you for your time,

Our program is Eco-Friendly, so we want to emphasize the importance of children being outdoors so they may learn natural processes and become knowledgeable and appreciative of nature.
We do organic gardening. We compost our food scraps in compost bins and through vermi-composting. We do rainwater harvesting, and use grey-water to water the fruit trees. We have even gone solar!
We offer healthy meals and snacks. We provide foods that are minimally processed and mostly organic. We strive to follow The Environmental Working Group's, "Shoppers Guide To Pesticides in Produce". We serve "family" style.
It is great when we are able to eat what we have harvested from our trees and gardens!
We recognize each child as an unique individual. We seek to provide the most appropriate learning experience for your child by creating an environment that is child-guided and developmentally based. Our program provides children with the freedom of choice within structure, which encourages the development of problem-solving skills, self-reliance, and socialization. We believe that play is an important part of a child's day. When children play, they construct their own knowledge of the world, physically, cognitively, socially, and this is the most meaningful type of knowledge. By observing how and what type of play the children are engaged in, this helps us determine the activities and experiences to offer the children.
