In-Home daycare
Columbus Grove Daycare is a licensed large in-home family daycare in the heart of Irvine, CA that offers an inviting, nurturing, and warm space for children to grow and develop. Our priorities in preparation for Kindergarten are: academic enrichment, developing fine and gross motor skills through various activities, social and emotional development, and creativity through arts and crafts and music. The in-home daycare facility fosters a safe space through a designated classroom / learning area, custom beds and fitted sheets for nap time, and a spacious outdoor playtime area. Chi (Daycare Owner), who holds an International Montessori Teaching Diploma through the North American Montessori Center, has over 10 years of in-home family daycare experience beginning in 2012. She is licensed to care for 14 children (12 toddler / pre-school aged children + 2 school aged children) with a teaching assistant. All teacher's assistants at Columbus Grove Daycare are current students or recent graduates from UCI / nearby universities and have education and childcare experience or aspirations to become teacher's in the future. Most notably through the years from Columbus Grove Daycare graduates is Chi’s cooking. She provides freshly prepared meals daily and skillfully caters towards the taste buds of young ones. Most children who attend Columbus Grove Daycare come when they are young and stay until Kindergarten. We have the privilege of building trustworthy longitudinal relationships with the children we care for and they become just like family members. All children leave from Columbus Grove Daycare amply prepared academically for Kindergarten and more importantly always have fond memories of their time at Columbus Grove Daycare with Chi and friends.

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).

At LePort, we help our students acquire the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character required to flourish as joyous children today, and as successful adults tomorrow. Our unique program emphasizes the relationship between the academically challenging material presented in the classroom, and the breadth of experiences children have in their lives outside of the classroom. At LePort School Westpark, we offer more than a high-quality, authentic, Montessori program, we also offer convenient extended care hours (great for working parents!), enriching after-school programs, and even a daily hot lunch option. Our beautiful classrooms boast high-quality furniture and Montessori materials, are full of natural light, and some even offer direct access to the outdoors, giving children the opportunity to enjoy both indoor and outdoor classroom space. Our teachers take great pride in making each room a unique, welcoming environment. As our authentic Montessori school has been open for over five years, children benefit from stable, mixed-age classroom communities. In addition, as more than half of our preschool students stay with us for the Kindergarten year, our Primary classrooms have outstanding role models for younger students, and a great peer group for older ones. All of our head teachers have completed the most rigorous, year-long AMI Montessori certification. We are proud that all of our head teachers and nearly all of our assistants have stayed with us year-over-year: quite an achievement in a preschool setting where staff turnover can be very high. If you are a dual-working family, and are looking for a place where your child will be nurtured and stimulated for an extended day, our campus provides it all!
