Abundant Blessings Childcare (ABC's) was created so that we can be a blessing to other families. We are a military family and understand about being in places without any family members and questioning who is trustworthy to take care of your child. I went and spoke to many different families, including single parents, and asked them what they needed or wanted from daycare centers. Single parents said that many daycares do not open up early enough or they close too soon, so it is hard for them to work. There were military families who explained that there are not any daycare's available during second shift or duty nights. Some families just said they would like to have adult time, without their children. As a mother of a three year old, I valued everything that people were saying and so "ABC's" was created. We want to be a blessing to those families, individuals, and children, who fall in and out of the normal 9-5 business hours. While your child is at ABC's, there is teaching, education, knowledge, and fun, on a daily basis.

Melissa H. says "My son started going here at 7 months old and it was the best decision I have ever made! The hours are extremely flexible, the price is very affordable...

Welcome to Tiny Blessings Child Care! My goal is to provide parents with quality and trustworthy care. When children are in my care, I treat them as if they're a part of my family. I do my best to help children have fun and feel comfortable, safe and cared for while providing for their physical, emotional, and social development. I really enjoy doing arts and crafts and being goofy with kids. This is a Christian based child care so I do pray with the kids and read some biblical children's stories. I am doing the Mother Goose Preschool Curriculum for ages 2-5. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, LiveScan and background check cleared, have completed a health and safety course, have taken child development classes and currently taking child care related classes at YMCA. My childcare recently opened so I still have quite a few spots available and bonus... I'm open 24 hours and my rates are competitive! I also have a large SUV so I can pick up/drop off, if need be. I offer the following: - homemade, healthy, mostly organic meals and snacks - clean and safe environment - loving and fun care - crafts - singing - dancing - learning - circle time activities - potty training And lots more! Please call, text, or email me with any questions you may have or to schedule an interview. Thank you and have an awesome day. Phone: (619) 635-6855 Email: anngela1391@hotmail.com.

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.

April says "Both my children attended this daycare center. The level of professionalism was amazing. It was the perfect mix of scholastic and fun, all grounded in a...
