EmpowerME Preschool and Childcare programs make quality early childhood education accessible to all young children, by making it affordable, even on a single income budget. The same level of quality care is extended to school-age children on all days that school is closed. The home-like environment, emphasis on values and culturally responsive programming encourage self-expression and emphasize social-emotional development, ensuring children become positive members of the community. Our approach to providing quality preschool ensures children will successfully transition to kindergarten, both meeting the California Preschool Guidelines for pre-academic attainment and because children are empowered to name their emotions, negotiate conflict, act independently, and communicate their needs– all skills that are crucial as they enter a learning environment with higher expectations and teacher: student ratios. Our school-age Non-School Day care programs continue nurturing our children by: diving deeper into our values and creating opportunities for them to demonstrate those values in peer interactions, while also, maintaining bonds created in earlier EmpowerME environments. Designed to be a safe, fun, affordable resource to working families, we are currently enrolling for our Preschool Program and a Pre-K/Kinder Program. EmpowerME's warm, nurturing environment, works in partnership with families to provide individualized learning that supports your child's development. Our Preschool Classroom serves children ages 2 and up (must be potty trained). Highlights of the preschool program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Cognitive, emotional, social, physical and language skill development that produces a lifelong love of learning -Introductory curriculum for letters, numbers, shapes, colors, writing, math and science in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options Our All Day-Pre-K/Kinder classroom is perfect for 4/5/6 year-olds who are mastering skills for kindergarten entry (as determined by the California Preschool Learning Guidelines) AND kindergarteners in need of supplemental learning during before and after school childcare. Highlights of the program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Curriculum in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations and Core Knowledge -Language Arts to ensure a successful transition to/ completion of Kindergarten -Regular assessments in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options

CMW IS in Rancho Cordova off zinfandel and international.I have been caring for children for 14 years now and I really believe that being a child care provider takes more than just taking care of children. In this field, you have to be professional, trustworthy, passionate, understanding, have lots of patience, be able to offer a safe environment and most of all, you must be able to work with children. Therefore I put myself in the parent position when it comes to leaving their children with a stranger, so finding the right care provider is important! I really encourage parents to allow themselves to take the time to find that person that would be compatible to their children's needs. In addition to this, I have been continuously taking child development classes to help me and to help the parents understand the different temperaments and necessities of children. My program offers healthy home cooked meals, nutrition is also important, so as a part of a healthy meal plan, we offer ONLY fresh fruits and veggies every day, fun activities for all ages and capabilities, Pre-k program, I am Bilingual in Spanish and English and I will teach your child how to speak Spanish if requested. I will potty trained your child if requested. I offer an environment for your children to learn and thrive in where kindness, friendship, and respect are taught by example. We also offer educational curriculum based on your child's own stage of development. Additionally, we encourage exercise through a variety of fun and exciting indoor and outdoor activities!!! (ages 3 months through 5 yrs old.)

HELLO! :) I am a mother of four wonderful grown children, two precious grandbabies and a morning preschool teacher five days a week for Sacramento County. I have been teaching pre-school age children for over 25 years and in my current morning classroom for eight years now. I am extending my passion for teaching pre-school age children to a very fun afternoon learning experience in my Fair Oaks home classroom. In my 25 plus years experience guiding and teaching children I have found a pure and simple philosophy: " Provide a fun organized space with many play options, a schedule that is age appropriate with some fun change within it, warm, kind guidance with enthusiasm and you have happy children that just soar in their development. " I am able to get to know and understand the personality and learning style of each child quickly. This is highly important in order to meet their needs properly. I have created a light , spacious , organized learning environment in my home. This includes many very fun high-end toys, along with an ongoing assortment of learning tools I am constantly creating. We follow a fun schedule that each child comes to know and love. Choice time (open creative play), circle-time ( calendar, songs , movement and stories), Outside play ( gross motor development, sand , water, bubbles etc.), snack-time ( nutritious, manners taught and encouraged), puzzle time, art , puppetry. Fun~Fun~Fun!! My enrichment program runs daily from 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm with extended care available upon request. Call for a tour. Age 3 - 6 years . I will consider a child that is 2 1/2 years, potty trained and ready for a pre-school program.
