Finding the right childcare provider is one of the most important decisions as a parent. You not only need to make sure you find a safe and loving environment, but also a place that will stimulate his/her mind and prepare him/her for preschool. We want our children to learn manners and practice good hygiene. We expect they will get sunshine and exercise daily. And it's not much to expect daily pictures and reports of your child, so you can have peace of mind and share in their day to day experience. I am a state licensed childcare home providing care for children 0-7 years old. Certified in CPR, first aid and pediatric health, and also insured. But I am more than that, I am a home. I am a mamma of a 2-year-old boy and provide a great schedule of fun, learning and love. I believe a routine can keep the momentum and flexibility will lend to giggles and laughter. With a balance of learning everyday manners and hygiene to getting moving in the park next door (literally next door!) - we will make every day a day to tell mommy and daddy about. I not only have a big park next door - I also have a back yard with a spacious patio, plenty of grass to run on and a shaded sandbox! Space is limited due to state ratio regulations - so please set up an interview so I can show you my home! State licensed CPR, pediatric first aid and health & safety certified Insured Nutritious lunch and snacks provided Picture updates through text/email throughout the day A report on food, nap, potty, temperment daily Daily schedule balances learning and fun Morning sing and shout Learning letters and numbers Incorporate fun ways to have good hygiene and good manners Outdoor imagination play Story time before quiet/nap time Indoor games and imagination Daily craft time Clean up & hello mommy/daddy song

QUALITY CARE: NOT MORE THAN 4 KIDS AT A TIME. HOURS: 6AM-6PM FULLTIME, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Dear Parents, My name is Pari and I am a Licensed child care provider. I am First-Aid and CPR certified. I have also been Live Scan fingerprinted and background checked. I speak fluent Farsi, Spanish and English. Children are my passion. Before opening a daycare, I was a personal Nanny of two kids, from the time they were born until were six years old and off to school. My Philosophy: As a child care provider, I believe that having Passion, Love and Respect for the Children is Number one and it's my Priority. If we treat children with Love and Respect, they grow to be happier and more confident and with great self-esteem. By providing a child with a nurturing environment, they will be more responsive to their education and every day tasks. My main focus is to respect their physical and emotional needs in every moment. A child who knows that he/she is loved has a great head start in life. Which is why I provide a safe, fun, loving and educational environment for your little ones. I will provide a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. [No junk, frozen of microwaved foods.] A copy of a monthly menu will be provided to the parents and can be adjusted to accommodate for food allergies. I provide a Preschool Curriculum. Our daily activities are created to help and enhance your child's fine and gross motor skills and other areas of development. Activities are designed to help your child recognize numbers, shapes, patterns, colors and the alphabet. We also include story-time, music time and fun arts and crafts throughout the day.

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.
