San Marcos Family Child Care

Hi, my name is Theresa. I am a licensed childcare provider with 30 years of experience offering a loving, safe, and educational environment for all ages. My goal as a provider is to provide the perfect balance of discovery oriented play with structured learning opportunities in a setting that is safe, stimulating, and fun. My childcare business opened in Oceanside in 1990, I then moved to Murrieta and continued childcare for 17 years, holding both a small and large facility license. Newly licensed in Vista (Shadowridge) area and ready to enroll children in my program. Open from 7am to 5:30pm.

At the heart of my program is the idea that learning should be fun. We do this through the integration of structured educational activity and ample time for discovery play. Play is a critical part to the healthy growth and development of a child. Children develop socially, emotionally, and physically through play. The children will engage in both free-play and structured-play throughout the day. In addition to free and structured play, I participate in the Mother Goose preschool program which is a professionally planned preschool curriculum for ages 2 and up.

Another part of my philosophy as a provider is not only focused on free time for discovery, but providing this time within a structured daily schedule (however, this schedule can be flexible when needed for your child). Through my 30 years of experience, I have learned that children thrive when there exists organization, structure, and routine in their days. I have developed a specific daily schedule and activity flow that works exceptionally well and has alterations for all ages. Although I focus on a structured flow, I provide many variations in activity types in order to keep the children engaged and excited!

I look forward to meeting you and discussing your childcare needs. I truly love caring for children, and my many exceptional references are a testament to this. Currently I have a infant opening (a baby under 2yrs) and one for a child over 2 years old. I strive to ensure that each child in my care feels safe, loved, happy and is constantly learning. I look forward to meeting you.

Baby Steps is a licensed home daycare (also known as in-home daycare or family daycare) that specializes in childcare for children whose age ranges from 18 months old to 4 years old. We aim to provide the best care for your little ones in a pet-free, smoke-free, safe, loving, play-based educational environment, and at the same time, stimulating their skills emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. Daily activities are based on the following units:

We have completed the required number of training hours for the Pediatric/CPR/First Aid and Preventive Health classes. We have passed the required Live Scan and Fingerprint background check. We also provide nutritional meals as required by the Child Development Association's Nutrition Program.

Each child will also be given ample opportunities to develop his or her own personality by listening, nurturing and helping him or her to make the right choices by challenging them to learn, because, first and foremost, we believe that the greatest gift we can give our children is a carefree childhood with lots of fun and learning experiences starting at their tender age.

Philosophy:
Our Family Home Daycare, Gardening and Exploring with Children, are committed to providing a health and safety environment with children and meeting their own individual needs. We give good quality care and respect each child's individuality. We also provide community resources for families.
Teacher's Role:
Teacher will provide food and nutrition to the children, toothbrushes and toothpaste for each child, and a safe environment. Teacher will provide activities for children to engage using play materials. During small group, there will be hands on activities with art, puzzle play, role play activities, gardening, bird feeding, and much more.
Child's Role:
The child's role is to learn and explore through play. Children are capable of learning and experimenting their own objects as a part of their own particular interests and understanding. They are given a variety of choices of their own interests. Many activities that children follow the lead of the child and allow them to expand on their learning and interests.
Curriculum:
In our Family Home Daycare, Gardening and Exploring, children will explore using their seven senses for their own developmental needs. They will be learning nature as a part of science, math, biology, and children will learn language development. They will be planting seeds, and watch them grow as part of their sensory development. I will be using the Reggio Emilia Approach as part of our curriculum.
Experience:
I have twenty-five years working with children. I worked at MAAC Head Start and Early Head Start.

I have a large licensed day care now for 10 years. I have 24 ECE units, and am continually taking workshops and classes related to my field. I am a member of the San Diego County Family Child Care Association, as well as the YMCA, and attend a support group with other childcare providers in my area.

A few years back I added on a 400 square foot room addition to my home so that my day care children would have their own "space" to learn and grow. We also recently renovated our backyard, which is very large and fenced, so there is plenty of room for the children to play and get exercise. I subscribe to a preschool curriculum, which we do modify so that our younger learners can participate too. We are also on the child nutrition program, so your children will receive healthy meals and snacks here.

I do have one full-time employee, who has been with me now for five years. She has 20 years of experience working with children both as a nanny and in home day cares.

My current enrollment is 11 full-time children, with ages ranging from 15 months to four years old. We have space available now for one child, and will have space for another in August when our oldest heads off to Kindergarten!
