I'm a mother of three girls, 22, 25, and 29. My husband and I have been married 31 years this October. While our girls were growing up, I took of care of children, one or two at a time, sometimes 3 or 4 as our girls got older. I've cared for infants, toddlers and while our girls were in elementary school and middle school, after school care. My love of children also carried over to when I owned a Jazzercise franchise for 19 years. During this time, in addition to teaching adult classes, I also taught classes for K-5th grade. I taught PE at a few schools, held after school programs, and summer camps. I also volunteered at a school every spring for 9 of those years by teaching a dance to the four kindergarten classes for their Dance Fest. I'm still caring for children just 1-2 at a time so I can give the children all of my attention. I love reading to the children in my care, going on walks to the park, singing, bubbles, play dough and arts and crafts. Most recently I was taking care of a little boy, 22 months old. I cared for him since he was 4 months, they recently moved. If you're looking for a small, loving, home daycare situation with someone who loves to read to your children and has wonderful references, please contact me.

Thank you for visiting my page! I've partnered with parents in raising their kids since 1995, when it was my way of providing for my family while home with my own kiddos. I live on a tree lined street near Hacienda School, providing a nurturing family environment for the kids. Having an abundance of experience with young kids, I'm happy to assist parents with parenting questions or concerns anytime. I enjoy relationships with all my daycare parents, working hand in hand with them in offering a wonderful experience for their kids. Your family's health, safety and well being are my highest priority! I've worked diligently to protect my daycare families during this pandemic and continue to follow all guidance at all times, including being fully vaccinated and masking. It's important for my families to be in community with each other, which I foster by hosting Friday night dinners at my home as well as Halloween and Christmas celebrations for the families. I look forward to resuming these fun activities when it is safe to do so! I serve nutritious, delicious meals and snacks including whole grains, organic milk, organic infant formula and organic fruits and vegetables. I offer each child personal care and attention as we enjoy our daily activities promoting preschool and kindergarten readiness, socialization skills and self esteem. I have a large, shady patio where the kiddos can play in the sandbox or water table, or draw pictures with sidewalk chalk. My lawn is very spacious, where kids enjoy a playhouse along with various toys to climb up and slide down. Sometimes we just run around in the sprinklers! Contact me to arrange a time for me to show you what I'm all about.

Working with children has been my passion for many years. One of the most fulfilling experiences in my career as a physical therapist was promoting a healthy physical development for children of all ages. In the many years of working as a childcare provider, caring for children has been a responsibility I have taken very seriously. In a fun, loving, play based environment, I strive to meet the physical, cognitive, social and emotional growth of each individual child. I have completed CPR / First Aid, Safe and Healthy Training and I have taken SIDS classes. I am fluent in English, Italian and Romanian. Our program is designed to include planned and spontaneous activities in response to a child interests where indoor and outdoor play, art, music, movement are incorporated into daily plan. In addition we include: craft activities around weekly themes; large fenced backyard with age appropriate play structures for children of all ages; weekly music class; potty-training when age appropriate; preschool based activities for older children; home-cooked meals with organic ingredients. One of the goals is to create an appropriate educational environment which guides children from one developmental level to another. Each child is unique and deserves everything that makes him/her happy and keeps him/her interested in learning new things everyday.

Hello, welcome to Willow Glen Daycare! My name is "Keirsty (pronounced Keer-stee) and I am a mom of 10 yr old twin boys. Prior to becoming a mom and a daycare provider, I worked as a Marriage Family Therapist and switched careers shortly after the babies were born. I have been in business 5 years and love what I do! Because I am a very small business and maintain a low enrollment, I am able to give your children all the time and attention they require. I follow a typical pre-school structure with a mixture of free time and planned exploration activities focusing on creativity and imagination. I start the day with circle time that involves music, movement and a story and, if the weather permits, we set out for a morning walk. I live on a nice street where neighbors know each other and kids play outside. Sometimes we'll walk around the neighborhood and if we are feeling more adventurous we will head to a local park or story time at the library. I provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment for your children that allows them the opportunity to develop and grow in a home away from home environment. Collaboration with parents is essential to a successful partnership. I aim for a co-parenting style and work with parents to understand and support their children's every need from an emotional, physical and behavioral standpoint. With a maximum 3:1 ratio I'm able to support your children through every developmental milestone and have them preschool ready when the times comes. I know juggling work and home life has its challenges and I am here to assist! My children are in San Jose Unified School District and with the school hours and various school holidays, it can be hard to organize care for siblings. Because of my low enrollment I have plenty of room to accommodate siblings daycare needs and I'm happy to help. Weekly full time rate: $475.00 Open from 7:00am-5:30pm COVID: Due to the pandemic I take safety and health cautions very seriously for the protection of your family and mine. We sanitize hands and take temperatures before entering, wash hands throughout the day and I sanitize in the evening in preparation for the next day. My family is vaccinated but, with all of the uncertainties, we remain cautious.

Elham Small Family Home Child Daycare. My rates are very reasonable compared to the high rates of preschool, and your kid would learn similar educational material that they would in preschool.

The daycare is part of my house which is a large common area to play and learn. I treat my daycare's kids like my own, since they all call me "mama" right when they start talking. :) There is a separate/private room for babies or children who need a quiet environment to rest. The house is facilitated with the central system of heater and air condition. When the weather permits, we play in the safe, private and large size backyard. Very clean and healthy environment. Children will be entertained and taught alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and many other fun activities. Feel free to call Elham any time at the following number: Cell: (408)210-5090.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in San Jose, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in San Jose, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in San Jose, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in San Jose, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in San Jose, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in San Jose, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools. Be sure to check any reviews from other families in San Jose, CA who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
