Palos Verdes Peninsula Family Child Care

Licensed childcare in my home for infants to school-age kids. I offer pick-up from the local Elementary school in Torrance. I offer a very lightly structured program with plenty of free play both inside and outside. Full and part-time care provided included meals. I include an educational element, although it is very loosely structured. I have worked with children for many years and love to see them learn through play and interaction with each other. My prices are also very competitive.

We spend time playing with puzzles, books, blocks, dolls, and other age-appropriate toys. We dance, listen to music, sing, practice colors, numbers, shapes and begin to get familiar with the alphabet. Outside we have a small slide, sandboxes, a play kitchen and house area. We also have balls, play animals, and some other fun activities included water play and bubbles.

I offer homework help as well.

My regular hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but I offer extended hours on a case by case basis.

We are a small fun loving home day care, located in South Torrance. Run by a mother daughter team. If you are looking for a warm nurturing environment where your little ones will learn, play, make friends and get undivided attention then Paradise Daycare is the place for you!
We specialize in infant care and prepare our toddlers for preschool in a fun way by teaching colors, letters, numbers, and shapes by playing games and doing activities. We sing, dance, do arts and crafts, have holiday parties and much much more!

All materials are disinfected, clean, and safe. Our curriculum focuses on language development, motor skills and social-emotional development.

My core beliefs:

1 Every child is a miracle and born with their own talents.

2 Children always have the right to express themselves

3 Children learn through experiences and relationships

Sharon Shim has been in the child care industry for 8 years. Her main experience is with infants and young toddlers. She got childcare units along with infants and toddlers units at Cal. State University of Long Beach. She believes in low child to teacher ratio so that the children get the support and care they need met. As a teacher who is trained at child care centers she will continue that in her home day care by having curriculums/lesson plans to help flow how the days will go and might look like but she will also go by what the children wants and interests are as well.

About Us:

Leap & Bound is a family business. As such, we understand the importance of family relationships. We make sure to maintain a rapport with everyone who comes into our facilities, not just the students. We also check in to learn every family's dietary, sensory, and other personal needs. We understand how difficult it can be as a parent to trust another person with caring for your child, so we try to make the school as close to home as possible.
