The question to ask is: How can your kids grow in a childcare environment - physically, mentally and emotionally? At Ekata Training Center, we specialize in all three domains. First, all in-service days and enrichment programs are included with no additional hidden costs. Our competitors often charge extra for van pick up, drop off, in-services days, minor holidays and enrichment classes. At Ekata all of these are included in the cost. Second, we offer far more than just baby-sitting. And make no mistake about it, most of our competitors while perfectly safe - offer just that - safe babysitting. If your child is going to spend a significant amount of time at a facility other than your home, don't you want them to do something other than play with toys? Third, physical activity. We offer a full-service fitness facility and pediatric fitness programming that accompanies our martial arts curriculum. And here's another significant family advantage. All parents with children enrolled in our childcare program receive FREE gym memberships! Want to save money and get rid of your Gold's or LA Fitness membership? Well, here's an excellent option and another way you save money with Ekata. All of our programs are specifically designed to help your child improve physically, mentally and emotionally. Our martial arts curriculum incorporates cognitive learning therapies in order to improve attentiveness and self-regulation. Our childcare program, EkataCare is specifically designed to incorporate social/emotional learning in free play and structured activities so kids learn how to communicate and process their emotions in a healthy, non-confrontational manner. It teaches kids how do have empathy and compassion for other beings while also giving them the tools to be strong and confident. We need our kids to be able to stand up for themselves; to protect themselves with realistic, proven, practical martial arts training but also develop a compassionate, caring mind state so self-protection is the last resort. Our program includes learning about nature, plant life, other cultures - and life. We also have a kid-specific mindfulness program so that children learn to manage stress effectively. We've seen incidents of childhood stress, self-harm and even addiction skyrocket over the course of this pandemic. And it's time to give our kids the tools they need to flourish under any circumstance.

I'm a mom, doing homeschool preschool with my 3.5 year old son in Canyon Country, looking for 1 or 2 children of a similar age to join us in our home throughout the week. We would love to build a long term, loving relationship with your child! A bit about what your child's day would look like with us: We start each morning with a nutritious breakfast at the dining table. Typical breakfasts are oatmeal, yogurt with honey, fresh fruit, eggs from our small backyard flock, or avocado toast. Breakfast is followed by an hour of free play outdoors or at the local park. The kids will explore nature, play in the mud kitchen or water table, make stone soup, collect rocks, and experience the world around them. Then before it gets too hot, we come back inside for a story, before settling into our activity for the day. *Monday we do an art or craft project - watercolors, collage, nature rubbings . . . *Tuesday we bake homemade bread for lunch later that day. *Wednesday we make music and throw a dance party. *Thursday we build (it might be forts, Legos, blocks . . . ) *Friday I bring out the dress up box. When possible, these activities will take place on our beautiful, outdoor patio, surrounded by grass, plants, trees, flowers and veggie garden. Outside we have 2 hens in a coop, a cockatiel and koi fish. Inside we have a large playroom stocked with open ended toys, which are rotated out every couple weeks, a bookshelf of kids books, musical instruments, art supplies, and puzzles. We also have a cat, dog and hamster! All are very loving and great with kids! After our activity of the day, we usually have a healthy snack - when possible straight from the garden. Then it's back to free play until lunch. We typically have soup, sandwiches, chicken breast, beans . . . all homemade and all nutritious. A note about food: we do not serve any prepackaged, prepared food, processed cereals, or artificial ingredients. After lunch is story time followed by quiet time. Kids can sleep or play quietly. I provide a quiet time box each day with special, independent activities if the child doesn't want to nap. Quiet time ends by 3pm. We gather around the dining room table to do some activity pages, work on early phonics and math and other light academics. The rest of the day is free play until dinner! We do not watch TV during the week. If this sounds like a good fit, we would love to welcome you and your child for a visit to get to know us better!
