Kids Castle is a licensed family home daycare for children, aged 6 weeks old and up. Our school combines academic learning with structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. It has been an absolute joy to have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In my years working as a preschool teacher at a well established center, I focused on getting to know each child individually in order to meet their needs best. I believe that it is in these tender years where children develop vital personal and social skills which they cultivate as they age. Giving them the time, care and attention they need and deserve is of utmost importance in helping them grow. As the kids progress, we will engage in creative arts and crafts. In addition, I will be teaching them the alphabet and numbers. I also believe that teaching children etiquette is key in shaping their future, as well as it will help them learn how to play and socialize with other kids in a positive manner so they can best enjoy the bliss of childhood. Facility Number: 376627395

My name is Fara, and I am mature, responsible, reliable, honest, and hardworking. Most importantly, I love children and enjoy caring for them, nurturing them, and watching them grow to become their own person. Many of the parents had the children stay at my daycare till they went off to Pre-K! Those who became big brothers and sisters, also had their siblings join my daycare. :-) Additionally, I am a member of Chamber of Commerce, member of Better Business Bureau, and CPR certified. I have worked for two big companies and I even have a food handling certificate. Would love to meet with you to have your child join my Home Daycare starting in June 2012. Please contact me if interested as I am in the process of interviewing. Thank you for considering me for your child care position.

We at Steps 4 Success strive to keep open communication among our parents; through text message, picture message, daily report, monthly newsletter and conversation during pick up and drop off. We believe that the success of the children in our care is a direct connection to the communication and friendships we have established with our parents. Though we are an in home provider, we create a structured environment that is similiar to a preschool, but in a home environment, which helps with the transition process for both parent and child. Steps 4 Success understands this because we are parents, too; we've been there. As a result, our philosophy can be summed up as the following: We believe every child is unique. We believe every parent deserves to feel that their child is safe. We believe that every child's future begins with their first successful experience in day care. We believe that a child's success is the result of strong relationships among parents, caregivers and community. We believe in hands on learning in an safe, clean, educational environment This philosophy is essential to our company culture, which is why you'll find only the highest-quality services at affordable rates at Steps 4 Success.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Carlsbad, CA

Drop-in daycare near you in Carlsbad, CA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Carlsbad, CA, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Carlsbad, CA may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Carlsbad, CA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience. Remember to bring any blankets or stuffed animals that may serve as a comfort item -- this may even include pacifiers or sippy cups if necessary.
