Over the past 10 years I have had the opportunity to work with many children in various capacities to include being a preschool teacher, nanny and mom. Infants and toddlers have always held a special place in my heart and are by far my favorite to care for. I received my education in Child Development and also attended various programs and orientations specializing in the care of infants and toddlers. I am first aid/CPR and preventative health/safety certified. In my home your child will receive the quality of care you expect at a child care center but in the calm setting of a home. Each child will receive individualized care catering to their unique needs in a small group setting. I use 2 different curriculum's in my program: relationship based (which harbors the important connection between child, caregiver and family) and the Mother Goose Time program (which is sensory based and supports a child's social-emotional, physical and cognitive development). I run a state licensed full time program with the option of part time care as well. Program Highlights: *Ages: 0-3 years old *Hours: Monday-Friday 7:30a.m.-5:30p.m. I also hold various Date Nights on Friday and/or Saturday nights from 6:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. *Small group *Daily communication sheets *Baby sign language *Outside time *Drop-In care hours upon availability *I provide: Pampers sensitive baby wipes, organic baby/table food, curriculum supplies plus a safe and nurturing environment.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Del Mar, CA

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 Del Mar, 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 Del Mar, 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.

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 Del Mar, CA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
