May has been working with children for two decades now and has made taking care of them her lifelong passion. She has a degree in child development, has worked at college campus daycares, centers, at home family daycares, and eventually opened up her own family daycare in 2015 in San Marcos. After five years of wonderful experiences, she moved to Lake Forest and wishes to continue her passion at her second home daycare. She has immense respect for both parents and their children equally, acknowledging the children's' growing individuality. The home provided for her children is kept regularly sanitized multiple ties per day, and she enforces a safe and comfortable learning environment for children to learn to share, be themselves, and grow through positive social interactions, all while having lots and lots of fun.May believes nutrition is as important as education and therefore provides two homemade meals and two snacks every single day, making sure she makes everything with love and care. Since May is a mother herself, she is highly educated on children's nutrition and will make sure all her children at her facility get whole, well rounded meals. She is a certified preschool teacher, CPR and First Aid Trained, and also registered with the YMCA, CPA, CalWorks.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Tustin, CA

Drop-in daycare near you in Tustin, 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 Tustin, 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 Tustin, 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.

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