Chai Preschool & Infant Center

16934 CHABAD WAY POWAY, CA

The programs of Chai Preschool & Infant Center arise from a common desire for excellence in meeting the needs of children and their families. Our philosophy is one of nurturing growth and development, relationships and understanding – all in the goal of establishing a love for learning, and a passion to approach the world’s diversity and culture with a positive outlook. At Chai Preschool & Infant Center we welcome each child regardless of background, religion or affiliation. We believe each child learns best in an environment that is rich in hands on experiences. We provide for the physical, intellectual and emotional growth of the children through activities that are child directed and teacher guided. Children are encouraged to use their senses to explore, experiment and use their imagination to the fullest. Through dramatic play, visual aides, manipulatives and the use of centers within the classroom such as art, science, blocks, math and literacy, children gain readiness skills for future learning. Our staff works closely with each child to help develop their self-esteem through problem solving, encouraging self-expression and offering positive reinforcement. We believe… that the home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote healthy development of children and parents. that loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others. that each child should be guided and encouraged to have a positive self-image. that children need a nurturing, safe and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn. That children are capable of learning through various methods including, play, exploration, structured and unstructured lessons….as long as it’s fun and exciting. that children deserve to have teachers whose values enable them to be excellent role models. At Chai Preschool & Infant Center we see each child as a unique and precious gift entrusted into our care. This concept is what governs our school’s educational approach. Our emphasis is placed on the individual child and on encouraging each child’s innate inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge. Small classes and very low student-teacher ratios ensure each child receives individual and caring attention. Class ratios: 6wks - 12mos; 3 children with 1 teacher (max 9 children with 3 teachers) 12mos - 2yrs; 3 children with 1 teacher (max 18 children with 6 teachers) 2yrs (transitional classroom); approx. 6 children with 1 teacher (max 12 children with 2 teachers) 2yrs – 3yrs; approx. 6 children with 1 teacher (max 12 children with 2 teachers) 3yrs – 4yrs; approx. 8 children with 1 teacher (max 16 children with 2 teachers) 4yrs – 5yrs; 10 children with 1 teacher (max 20 children with 2 teachers)

9151 Via De Juan Santee, CA

Hi! My name is Michelle but my daycare kiddos and parents call me &quot;Mimi&quot;. I have been providing in-home-daycare for over 20 years; 8 years of which I was a Certified Provider under the Navy's Child &amp; Youth Program. I am fully licensed by the State of CA to run a small daycare, certified in Infant/Child/Adult CPR and First Aid, I have been fingerprinted (along with my all my family members) and passed background investigations by the FBI and LiveScan. My state license is for a capacity of 8, yet I choose to care for 5-6 so that I may spend quality time with the children. I learn so much every day from the children in my care as well as from the parents. We work closely together so that the children create good habits at their home and in my care. I provide your child with a loving, relaxing home setting along with the feeling of being a part of my family and our everyday life. I am strongly invested in the social development of the children; during the day, you can expect your child to work on/learn their ABC's, be active all day while learning about everything around them (touch, smell, sight), we sing songs and dance together. I read books throughout the day to all or each child if they request. I take the responsibility of your child's safety and development very seriously. I participate in online proficiency training along with off site training through the YMCA and other training facilities. I am a mother of 3; two daughters aged 21 and 20 along with a 23 year-old son who has graced me with 2 beautiful grand daughters. Being the mother of 3, even though they are older, we are still an &quot;on the go family. My day care kiddos are always included in family activities and are treated as part of the family. My home also has fur babies. We have Winni our 3.5 year old Boxer and Sylvester and Birdie our 1 Year old Kitties. The children love getting greeted by Winni at the front door everyday. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can discuss your daycare needs. Please text me so we can connect and see how I can help with your child care needs. I have 2 Infant openings as of August 11, 2025. Have a great day and I look forward to speaking to those in need of care. References available upon request.

My rate $300 for infants is $250 per week for full-time for 2 years and up-accepted. Hello Everyone! My name is Mina and I have opened up my own family childcare home this year. However, I have had several years of experience with children, including one of my own, a 6-year-old son. For the past two years, I've worked alongside Mali from Mali's Home Daycare as her assistant and have gained all the experience and knowledge necessary to provide the best care for your child. My family consists of my son and my husband and we are very loving and kind. I love working with children more than anything and would be so thankful to work with your child, if you so decide. In my daycare, I will have lots of educational activities that will help prepare them for school such as story time, listening and singing to educational songs (alphabets, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.), and working to improve each individual child's weaknesses. I will also provide healthy, home-made meals each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as nutritious snacks and drinks. There is a playground outside of my home that I will take the children to so that they can get their physical, outdoor activity of the day (of course, making sure that the weather and their attire is suitable). If you are interested and would like to schedule a visit to come see the daycare, please TEXT me at 858-519-6661. Thank you and have a great day, Mina
