I've been a childcare provider for 30+ years and have worked with hundreds of preschool and school-aged children. I have taught at public and private preschools, public elementary schools, and family daycare centers including Santa Clara Unified schools, Bowers, Washington Open, Wilson, Briarwood, Hughes, and Montague. I raised six children of my own and was an active parent participant at their schools and extracurricular activities. I have 40+ child development units, 130+ hours of professional development training, and an associate teacher's permit. I am certified in pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid. I have Live Scan fingerprinting, background check, and I'm a mandated reporter. I have extensive experience with English language learners. I am fully Vaccinated, including Covid 19. My licensed family daycare facility (license #434411459) provides a full classroom environment for a variety of learning activities including math, science, cooking, music, sensory development, small and large motor development, conflict resolution, and outdoor play. Our large classroom includes dedicated areas for reading, art projects, playhouse and dress-up, building, puzzles, science, and cooking, as well as outdoor spaces for biking, water play, climbing, and sports activities. We go on walking field trips to nearby parks and libraries. I prepare a daily educational curriculum with activities centered around a theme. For example, Letter Jj Day, Counting & Sorting Day, Patterns Day, Cooking Day, Sewing Day, Color Green Day, Feelings Day, Nature Walk Day, Book Day, Measuring Day, Bubbles Day, Exercise Day, Opposites Day, Rhyming Day, Gardening Day, etc. I provide breakfast, drinks, snacks, teeth brushing, and laundry services. Children bring their own lunches. Each child is provided for individually based on his or her dietary needs. A report is sent home each day outlining foods eaten, nap times, and the activities that each child participated in. I am open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. I accept full-time, part-time, and drop-in students ages 1 year and up. Children do not need to be potty trained. The children in my program are a very large part of each others lives, as well as mine. It is very much like a family. Please call or email with questions or to arrange a preschool tour!

Happy Hearts Childcare is a play-based, hands-on learning facility. We love to play, learn and have fun in a small environment with lots of personal attention! Although we are a play-based daycare, your child will develop gross and fine motor skills, critical and cognitive thinking, social & emotional skills, and reinforcement of adaptive behavior. About Me: I am Maria Robles, a pre-school teacher with 25+ years of experience and now a childcare owner. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education in Peru and have had the privilege of developing my career at CCLC, Anne Darling and Bishop CDC, while participating in continuous education and specialization courses, and staying up-to-date with current California standards for child care. I am background checked with the DOJ and FBI; certified in First Aid & Pediatric CPR, and Preventative Health & Safety. As a a mother of two amazing professionals, grandmother of two lovely grand-kids, and teacher of several generations of unforgettable children, I have been blessed with the joy of being part of a happy place where children can be themselves, grow, experiment, create, and have Happy Hearts! I'll be honored to be part of your child's early education. Please call me to setup a tour at your earliest convenience and discuss the details of the program.
