Nanny Inc

< 1 mi

We are two nannies that have teamed up to make life easier for you. We are opened from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Our clients also have the option for weekend care if needed. With our experience we have come to find out that kids would rather be out of the house than stuck in one. So most of our time is spent out in the world having fun and learning, with some special field trips here and there. We spend time teaching abc's, 1, 2, 3's, sight words, spelling, reading, writing, math, art, shapes, and much more. We understand that knowledge is power, and we want your children to succeed in life. Simply put we are a pre-school, day care facility, and nanny all rolled into one.

Treehouse school is currently taking a break and we do not have any openings Welcome to the Tree House School! PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: - A fun, safe, and engaging learning environment - A clean, organized, and nurturing home - Fresh, healthy snacks (many organic choices) and homemade meals - Early Literacy Skills (phonics, phonemic awareness, concepts of print, writing letters). - Early Numeracy Skills (number awareness and identification, counting, 1:1 correspondence, identifying patterns, rank order, grouping and sorting, writing numbers). - Music, Movement, Art, Science, and Dramatic Play. - Active and engaging outdoor play. - Fine-Motor and Gross Motor development. - Creative, hands-on sensory experiences. - 13 years' experience in education. - Extensive knowledge of child-development, behavior, and social skills. PERSONAL MESSAGE: We are a family-operated and home-based childcare and preschool, founded by a husband and wife educator-team (I am a credentialed School Psychologist and my husband is a Special Education Teacher). We recently embarked upon this endeavor to open a daycare when we moved cities and had difficulty finding a quality, clean, nutritious, and rigorous daycare program for our little one. We also found that many of the in-home daycare centers had far too many children for our child to receive individual attention and care that we wished for. Our little program is small, nurturing, and in support of all types of learning - social, physical play, and academics are a top priority! More specifically, we are designed to enhance each child's strengths and interests, develop language skills (both verbal and non-verbal), increase your little one's capacity for patience and tolerance, and create a love for learning among our little scholars. We do accept children with disabilities and are well-connected with community resources to support our families and their children's unique needs. In time, the vision for our school is to expand into a larger facility where we can offer after-school supports in the areas of Social Skills, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Speech-Language, Counseling, Educational Consultation, Advocacy, Academic Remediation, and Adult Transition Services. For now, we are a small home-daycare with lots of love and support to help your child learn and grow! Thank you for your interest and we hope to hear from you soon. * Tree House School - Where Children Grow and Dreams Take Root *

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Los Alamitos, CA

Drop-in daycare near you in Los Alamitos, 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 Los Alamitos, 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 Los Alamitos, 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 Los Alamitos, CA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
