Hello and Welcome! We started Lola and Friends Childcare Services (L.A.F.) as a way to provide the same kind of warm and loving support we received from this community back when our daughter was much younger and we were new residents in Mountain View. We truly believe in the African proverb that "it takes a village to raise a child" so it is our hope that we can become a part of your "village" and support team as we work together to raise your child to become a kind, loving, compassionate and productive member of our global community. Our mission at L.A.F. is to provide the best quality of care for your child. We are dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing, caring and fun place where each child can develop in a safe surrounding just like "home away from home". We are licensed as a Family Home Day Care provider under State of California, Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division in San Jose, CA. We have been cleared by US Department of Justice to have no sexual abuse or criminal records of any kind. We are trained in CPR, First Aid, Health and Safety in addition to Child Nutrition and we are certified volunteers for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for the City of Mountain View. We have approximately 30 years of childcare experience between us, either as parents ourselves, taking care of the children in our large extended families, volunteering or being a childcare provider for children of all ages. We also provide healthy daily Breakfast, Morning Snack, Lunch and Afternoon Snack based on the food guidelines issued by the State of California. We would love to host a site visit for you and your child so please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming all of you to our home.

Play Based, We have developed a unique 'total immersion' teaching approach by communicating with the children almost exclusively in French while carefully adopting the vocabulary, subject matter and sentence structures. At French-American Academy, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that engages children with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings. We've designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include art area (for expressing emotions and ideas), reading / cozy area (for literacy, relaxation, and respite), and dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy). We synthesize the traditional French curriculum and teaching methods with modern language instruction techniques and follow the natural order of the four language acquisition skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) in an accelerated manner which is adapted to the diverse needs of both native and non-native speakers. Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world. At French-American Academy Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment that supports the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child.

Hi, my name is Brenda. I am a mom of two older kids ages 23(out on her own) and 15.I have been running my own home daycare for 12 years now and I love it! I live in a great neighborhood in Mtn View near Cuesta park at Cuesta and Grant Road. I watch 4-5 little ones and currently have a rare opening for an infant/toddler. I usually don't have to advertise due to word of mouth or siblings being born to current families. I have excellent references past and present. My hours are 7:30-5:30 M-F. I am very reliable and flexible and have a great reputation in this business. My rates are very reasonable for this area. Several of my clients have been teachers for the LASD(I have one teacher now currently) I have never been licensed only due to the fact that when I started the business I was a single Mom and it was too expensive. I I always offer finger prints or background check if desired. This has never been an issue with any of the families Ive worked for. There are so many benefits to home daycare.. One on one attention and small group setting helps keep illnesses down. If this interests you or you know of anyone looking for care please pass along my info . My cell is 650 224 4956..hope to hear from you soon

I've been a childcare provider for 30+ years and have worked with hundreds of preschool and school-aged children. I have taught at public and private preschools, public elementary schools, and family daycare centers including Santa Clara Unified schools, Bowers, Washington Open, Wilson, Briarwood, Hughes, and Montague. I raised six children of my own and was an active parent participant at their schools and extracurricular activities. I have 40+ child development units, 130+ hours of professional development training, and an associate teacher's permit. I am certified in pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid. I have Live Scan fingerprinting, background check, and I'm a mandated reporter. I have extensive experience with English language learners. I am fully Vaccinated, including Covid 19. My licensed family daycare facility (license #434411459) provides a full classroom environment for a variety of learning activities including math, science, cooking, music, sensory development, small and large motor development, conflict resolution, and outdoor play. Our large classroom includes dedicated areas for reading, art projects, playhouse and dress-up, building, puzzles, science, and cooking, as well as outdoor spaces for biking, water play, climbing, and sports activities. We go on walking field trips to nearby parks and libraries. I prepare a daily educational curriculum with activities centered around a theme. For example, Letter Jj Day, Counting &amp; Sorting Day, Patterns Day, Cooking Day, Sewing Day, Color Green Day, Feelings Day, Nature Walk Day, Book Day, Measuring Day, Bubbles Day, Exercise Day, Opposites Day, Rhyming Day, Gardening Day, etc. I provide breakfast, drinks, snacks, teeth brushing, and laundry services. Children bring their own lunches. Each child is provided for individually based on his or her dietary needs. A report is sent home each day outlining foods eaten, nap times, and the activities that each child participated in. I am open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. I accept full-time, part-time, and drop-in students ages 1 year and up. Children do not need to be potty trained. The children in my program are a very large part of each others lives, as well as mine. It is very much like a family. Please call or email with questions or to arrange a preschool tour!
