Happy Angels Haven, located in Laguna Hills, is just three blocks from 5 &amp; 405 freeway, and just two easy turns to reach me on Alicia Parkway. Parents like a quick pick-up and drop-off, and so we work tirelessly to make everything as convenient as possible. We offer an inviting, fun-loving, caring, warm, home-like environment for children of all ages. We cover, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel, and more. We have openings for infant/toddlers at this time and also offer after-school care. For after school care, the child has to be at least 5 years of age in accordance with the licensing capacity. I am a licensed and certified CPR, serving for the last 23 years. I am affiliated with the Children Home Society of America, and Nurses Zone. For my excellent service and cleanliness, I have been complimented for keeping the facility super clean and in compliance of the State and Social Services rules and regulations. There is a very large play area, a separate nursery for newborns, as we can't mingle them with toddlers. We have the largest backyard within the neighborhood with beautiful panoramic view, swings, long tricycle pathway, and unlimited fresh cooked meals every day and all-day long. I don't believe in two snacks and a lunch only, children are growing and constantly need nourishment. We have structured program with variety of activities for our kids like coloring, recognition of alphabets, numbers, colors, shapes, circle time (games and basic general knowledge), dancing hour, bubble party and creative story time which is lots of fun. Kids learn social skills and learn sharing, caring and good manners which parents see in their behavior as they grow. I have excellent references, open days, evenings, and nights for nurses and other graveyard shift parents. I do give daycare presentation after 6:30 p.m. or Saturday morning and share a lot with the parents, so that they get to know what I have to offer. We have also helped many single moms expand their horizons, and take their careers to the next level, giving them better financial opportunity, support and a future. The key is flexibility, as we always urge parents to visit different day care facilities and compare. In childcare, price is always secondary, as the happiness of parents and children comes first. You will not see any kids in the pictures because of our strict privacy policy.

Hello! I am a loving mom of 2 beautiful baby girls, ages 6 months &amp; 16 months. I know firsthand how hard it is to go back to work after having a baby. I promise to give a loving, nurturing and safe environment for your little bundle of joy. Children should be spoiled with fun &amp; love as long as it is safe and structured. If you provide a safe-haven for your little ones, they can grown and develop to be smart, sweet, fun-loving and well mannered children. I also follow an age appropriate preschool style to promote early learning with crafts and exciting activities. I also work on providing a schedule of feeding, napping and playtime for a happy baby and the sanity of parents. We enjoy going for walks and playing along the green belt. I was taught by the best NICU doctors and nurses after my youngest was born prematurely. Before your child is discharged, you go through a long list of requirements to be sure you are trained to care for your special infant. I was also an instructor for My Gym, teaching children of all ages. I can also care for your newborn siblings for a deep discount for all day, part day or after school care. I would love to be the home away from home for your child(ren). ADDED BONUS...Once a month, professional pictures will be done of your precious babies at no additional charge (you can decline if you'd like). There is even hot coffee to go for you before you head to work. Care will be in my home. Drop off and pick up time is flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights and overnighters. No need to get your kids ready. You can drop them off in PJs and I can get them ready for the day of fun. All meals and snacks are provided, both hot and cold (with the exception of formula). Diapers are provided. RATES: $55 per day for full day (more than 5 hours and no more than 10 hours). *$40 for each additional sibling/cousin. $35 per day for 1/2 day (less than 5 hours). *$25 for each additional sibling/cousin. $250 Full-time &amp; 5 days per week. *$200 for each additional sibling/cousin. $60 for overnighters (up to 12 hours).
