At Little Blessings our goal is to provide a safe loving place for your child to spend their day. We know how hard it is for a parent to have to leave their blessings to go to work. So that is where we step in and give a loving and nurturing environment with fun activities and lots of love. We keep a fun schedule going with circle time, story time, music time, outside activities, and arts and crafts. We serve healthy whole foods and keep treats down to a minimum and are on the Beanstalk food program. Our home is kept clean and we wash hands all the time to help keep colds down and keep our kids clean. We have a low adult to child ratio with our morning preschool program having two adults working with the children making our ratio 1 to 3. Our afternoons are full of play activities with dress up, dolls, legos, cars, trucks, and tons of other fun things for kids to play with and enjoy. We are a home day care that goes over and above just babysitting to give our kids the best day they can have away from mom and dad.

Come See, Come Play, Come Grow! Hi, my name is Mercedes and I offer a wonderful, safe, engaging, and fun environment for you little one this is what I offer you: Our preschool emphasizes the development of the whole child through active learning situations. We strive for a balanced, nurturing, caring, and developmental approach to education. Our program provides freedom for children to have spontaneous play and interaction, where they make discoveries, explore, solve problems and develop social skills. This, in addition to structured, teacher-directed activities in which children learn to focus attention and function in a group, fosters success and positive self-esteem. Our curriculum provides opportunities that encourage the social, emotional, artistic, imaginative, physical and spiritual development of a child, while also offering many activities that allow for development in cognitive-academic areas well as kindergarten-readiness. We also offer the following to our parents: * Monthly Newsletter. * Quarterly Progress Reports. * Field Trips. * Special Events. * Summer Day Camp Program.

CMW IS in Rancho Cordova off zinfandel and international.I have been caring for children for 14 years now and I really believe that being a child care provider takes more than just taking care of children. In this field, you have to be professional, trustworthy, passionate, understanding, have lots of patience, be able to offer a safe environment and most of all, you must be able to work with children. Therefore I put myself in the parent position when it comes to leaving their children with a stranger, so finding the right care provider is important! I really encourage parents to allow themselves to take the time to find that person that would be compatible to their children's needs. In addition to this, I have been continuously taking child development classes to help me and to help the parents understand the different temperaments and necessities of children. My program offers healthy home cooked meals, nutrition is also important, so as a part of a healthy meal plan, we offer ONLY fresh fruits and veggies every day, fun activities for all ages and capabilities, Pre-k program, I am Bilingual in Spanish and English and I will teach your child how to speak Spanish if requested. I will potty trained your child if requested. I offer an environment for your children to learn and thrive in where kindness, friendship, and respect are taught by example. We also offer educational curriculum based on your child's own stage of development. Additionally, we encourage exercise through a variety of fun and exciting indoor and outdoor activities!!! (ages 3 months through 5 yrs old.)

It's a pleasure to meet you my name is Megghan, I am the Director here at The Stepping Stone Family Child Care. I am a Mother of 2 (13 and 5 years of age) and find that it's sometimes better for some children to be in a smaller environment versus being overwhelmed in a larger environment where they don't get the attention they need. So here, at The Stepping Stone Family Child Care, I pride myself in its small, warm and homey feeling where the child gets the attention they deserve and feel more at home. I offer a variety of activities to help your children learn and grow including books, puzzles, arts and crafts; as well as a great/safe in-door and out-door play areas for them to explore, a comfortable place for them to take their naps and nutritional breakfast, lunch and an AM/PM snack. For your needed peace of mind, I am a fully licensed childcare provider through the State of California, as well as certified in Pediatric CPR, First Aid, and Preventative Health and Nutrition. The Stepping Stone Family Child Care is also conveniently located near Pershing, OV Open, Twin Lakes and Andrew Carngie Elementary Schools (all within a 2-mile radius of our location) for those of you with children attending close by. I look forward to filling my openings with the sound of children's laughter and happy parents. Pros of a family child care program: - More relaxed curriculum: Children may follow a curriculum, but there is more freedom for changing the schedules to better fit the individual needs of the children. - Siblings can remain together: This is an important factor, especially for those whose children are very close. - More individual attention: Unfortunately, more often than not, children are a face in the crowd in a day care center, in a family child care home, we really get to know each other well. -Affordability: The cost may be cheaper than a day care center. -Fewer germs: Because there are fewer children, your child may be exposed to fewer illnesses. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime. For openings and more information, please call. References Available upon request.
