Welcome to Creative Kids Family Daycare! My highest priority is for your child to be safe, healthy and happy and I have taken these steps to make that happen: My home is professionally child and baby proofed. I am certified by the Red Cross in Infant/Child First Aid, Safety, CPR and Preventative Health Practices.

We believe that by providing a home-like environment that is safe, comfortable, and loving, a child’s creativity will be nurtured. The philosophy of this Center is a holistic approach, which incorporates different Developmental and educational theories, such as: behaviorism (Skinner and Thorndike), Developmental Stage Theory (Piaget) and more recently Social Development Theory of Learning (Vygotsky). Nobis Takes both sides of the nature-versus-nurture debate to implement the most well-rounded learning experience possible for your children.

Page Academy's Early Childhood Program begins and ends with a warm, caring, qualified staff in a safe and secure environment. We understand that this may be the first occurrence you and your child are experiencing away from the home environment and together we will share your child's milestones, goals, and experiences. We know how important it is for our families to stay in touch and see what their little one is up to during the day. At Page, we utilize the Daycare Webwatch system in our preschool so you can see all that your child is up to during the day and to give you peace of mind. It is the vision of Page Academy to teach and guide children every step of the way by exploring their educational journey through inviting and exciting opportunities that make learning fun. The Preschool Program for our two and three-year-olds is the first step to becoming a life-long learner through hands-on experiences. Learning is both educational and fun through opportunities such as the Zoo Phonics program, tracing shapes, copying letters, cutting and pasting. Mathematical skills are also developed through hands-on activities. In our science centers, students learn about the natural world and how they interact with objects, people, and other living things. Dramatic play encourages social interaction, creativity, and language skill development. Page's Prekindergarten Program provides children with a strong foundation that not only builds on the preschool program, but also helps prepare the child for a successful kindergarten experience. Our well-balanced curriculum provides for academic advancement and developmental growth. Our pre-kindergarteners learn to use strategies of phonics by identifying sounds and relating them to word structures. Phonics, language, and writing development go hand-in-hand as children explore the writing process. In our mathematics program, students learn not only identification and written recognition of numerals but also the basic concepts of addition and subtraction. Upon exiting our Pre-kindergarten program, students will have completed a Kindergarten curriculum in phonics, math and handwriting. Our technology program is also an integral part of our prekindergarten program. They are taught terminology, care of the computers and software, and the appropriate use of the main keys. The children have access to creative and age appropriate educational programs that support our educational philosophies and goals.

I have over 25 years of experience working in the childcare environments, Corporate, non-profit, and family day care. I loved what I did in the education/child care field; but wanted to take what I truly enjoyed doing down to a smaller scale. When the opportunity came in 2013, I said good-bye to the corporate world and said &quot;Hello&quot; to Family Child Care. I received my license in August, 2013. As of today, I am continuing to teach a combination of the corporate-level curriculum that I found to be most beneficial for comprehensive learning while still maintaining the guidelines set by the State of California. I have been teaching/caring for children in my home now for over 12 years! I love what I do! We have a lot of fun. Right now, I have a toddler and Preschool-aged enrolled. We have been learning the basics starting with the alphabet, numbers, colors, various themes, outside play, and our favorite of celebrating various Holidays/Seasons. As they get older, we will gradually progress to Phonics, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, with more advanced/challenging curriculum. Currently, I have been incorporating these topics by teaching through play, as well as doing a &quot;Circle Time&quot; - type daily lesson plans. Our meals/snacks are Family Style - where we all sit down together at the table to eat. I offer Breakfast, Lunch, and 2-3 snacks/day. I am fully licensed with State Clearance. I have my Associate's degree in Child Development and Educational Studies. My childcare is licensed for 6 weeks old to 10 years old. I am fully certified in Infant/Pediatric/Adult CPR/First Aid, Health &amp; Safety certified. I am affiliated with the National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC); Children's Home Society of Orange County (CHS); the City of Irvine; and Orange County Association for the Education of Young Children (OCAEYC). I can also take CalWorks on a case-by-case basis. I am fully vaccinated including booster vaccination. I also have back-up teachers on-call for when I am out ill, doctors' appointments, vacations, etc. My hours are 7:00A.M to 6:00P.M Monday to Friday

Each day children have time to play, problem solve, socialize with peers, listen, talk, exercise, sing, dance, read, count, taste, smell, touch, and so much more! My main strategy is to instill the love of learning in these kiddos, and the best way to do that is the share my own love of learning with them. The future is bright here at Sunshine Kids Center!
