Located in North Glendora, my house provides a very big, welcoming, and nurturing environment for children to grow and play in. I have twenty years of experience working with children ranging from three months to 4 years. I understand and value each child's personal and cultural identity and prepare daily schedules for each child based on their needs. Being a firm believer in hands-on education, personally playing with children and having them feel, see and repeat is the best way to get them to learn and make a lasting impression in their developing mind. I am tri-lingual (English, Spanish, and Arabic) and willing to teach any of these three languages in order to make the child's stay more enriching as well as educational. In addition, I also offer potty training. I am certified in Health, Safety, and First Aid and have taken courses in early childhood development.
