Hello families ~ Busy Lil Bees preschool and daycare is a small licensed in-home daycare that offers a preschool program. The goal of Busy Lil Bees is to nurture the child's emotional, intellectual, social and physical development all in the comfort of a home setting. A little bit about myself: I am a mother of 3 great kids (17, 15, and 3 yrs. old). I am a credentialed elementary school teacher with a Master's of Arts in Elementary Education and a Bachelor's in Human Services. Aside from raising my kiddos, I have an extensive background working with children for the last 13 years in the school setting. I provide a nurturing, caring, and safe environment where your little one will learn as we play! I am fluent in Spanish and implement teaching Spanish to your little one. I use the Mother Goose Time preschool curriculum and modify it to meet every child's needs. The preschool curriculum includes: -A monthly theme. For example: the theme for the month of August is Friends and Feelings. -Circle time (colors, numbers, rhyming, shapes, letters), lots of music and dancing, reading (developing early literacy skills), science, social skills, math & reasoning skills, and we do lots of process art activities ! Since, I am a home based daycare , I like to keep the number of students to teacher ratio low, 6-1 (including my little one). For me, the most valuable experience I have is caring for my own children and I look forward to caring for your child. Contact me to schedule a free morning to spend with us! Call me at 949-235-5181.

WELCOME! I own Rockinghorse Home Day Care which has been offering state licensed care to children 6 weeks to Pre-K in a small group environment. I believe: C...communication is essential; A...accomplishments in every stage of a child's life builds self-esteem; R...respect of each child's needs is necessary; E...encouraging children promotes individual growth. PHILOSOPHY ~ Children are individuals with their own unique qualities. With a soft approach I look for ways to encourage that unique quality showing respect to the child and teaching them to respect others. By offering interaction between varying age groups; each age group benefits. Infants strive to achieve skills toddlers have mastered and toddlers learn the skills of teaching and nurturing younger ones. INCENTIVES ~ Parents Night Out: So our clients can enjoy a night out for some quality time; we offer extended care at no charge. WHY I BECAME A LICENSED FCCP (Family Child Care Provider) ~ With a desire to be home during my sons early years in life, I chose to leave the corporate world where I was a Health and Safety Manger for a major company and follow in the footsteps of my mother who also operates a successful child care. ROUTINE ~ I believe that a good daily routine consists of a balance of stimulating activities, freedom to explore, healthy eating and rest. A routine also gives children a sense of security which fosters a learning environment and builds self-esteem and social skills. NUTRITION ~ I believe that food is an experience and given the opportunity, children enjoy exploring various flavors, textures and colors. I offer healthy snacks and lunch in our toddler program. I am not opposed to sweets; but keep those to a minimum. EDUCATION ~ WestEd - PITC (Program for Infant/Toddler Care), Dept. of Education - Brain Smart, Child Nutrition and Health and Safety. SAFETY ~ For 25+ years I've maintained CPR/First Aid certification. In closing, I take seriously the role I play in caring for children and the impact I have on them. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you.

Happy Angels Haven, located in Laguna Hills, is just three blocks from 5 & 405 freeway, and just two easy turns to reach me on Alicia Parkway. Parents like a quick pick-up and drop-off, and so we work tirelessly to make everything as convenient as possible. We offer an inviting, fun-loving, caring, warm, home-like environment for children of all ages. We cover, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel, and more. We have openings for infant/toddlers at this time and also offer after-school care. For after school care, the child has to be at least 5 years of age in accordance with the licensing capacity. I am a licensed and certified CPR, serving for the last 23 years. I am affiliated with the Children Home Society of America, and Nurses Zone. For my excellent service and cleanliness, I have been complimented for keeping the facility super clean and in compliance of the State and Social Services rules and regulations. There is a very large play area, a separate nursery for newborns, as we can't mingle them with toddlers. We have the largest backyard within the neighborhood with beautiful panoramic view, swings, long tricycle pathway, and unlimited fresh cooked meals every day and all-day long. I don't believe in two snacks and a lunch only, children are growing and constantly need nourishment. We have structured program with variety of activities for our kids like coloring, recognition of alphabets, numbers, colors, shapes, circle time (games and basic general knowledge), dancing hour, bubble party and creative story time which is lots of fun. Kids learn social skills and learn sharing, caring and good manners which parents see in their behavior as they grow. I have excellent references, open days, evenings, and nights for nurses and other graveyard shift parents. I do give daycare presentation after 6:30 p.m. or Saturday morning and share a lot with the parents, so that they get to know what I have to offer. We have also helped many single moms expand their horizons, and take their careers to the next level, giving them better financial opportunity, support and a future. The key is flexibility, as we always urge parents to visit different day care facilities and compare. In childcare, price is always secondary, as the happiness of parents and children comes first. You will not see any kids in the pictures because of our strict privacy policy.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in San Juan Capistrano, CA

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