We are a high quality preschool facility, licensed to enroll a maximum capacity of 54 children, ages 2-5 years old. We implement a play-based curriculum, inspired by some of the most renowned early childhood theorists, such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia; they believed that it is through play and relaxed environment that children learn best. Hence, we create lesson plans according to their age, developmental level and individual interests. In addition, we incorporate some basic concepts of the S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) curriculum in order to prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond. With a balanced combination of play and academics, through child initiated and teacher initiated activities, children also develop socio-emotional skills, necessary to succeed in life.

Serving ages 2-5 At Tiny Scholars our mission is to provide an individualized learning environment for families that want their children to learn Mandarin Chinese. We offer an immersion approach in a relaxed atmosphere where the children acquire the language naturally through a variety of fun activities. Our curriculum is presented with a non-pressured manner depending on a child s academic and emotional readiness. We strive to offer all students age-appropriate opportunities to develop their intellectual and social abilities. We believe that the best way for children to learn language is to be immersed in it through play, songs, stories and fun activities. Research has shown that children are most receptive to speaking a new language when they start at an early age. We believe that each child has a personal pace and a unique way of developing physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. It is the role of the teacher to build on the things children are able to do in each of the growth areas by creating a rich environment and encouraging children to explore. Everything we do at Tiny Scholars Daycare is designed to prepare your child for kindergarten. Our curriculum focuses on building your child's cognitive, emotional, social, physical and language skills in both English & Mandarin Chinese. Licensed through the State of California #197419752

I am 22 years old. I have graduated EMT school and am also certified in CPR/Infant CPR and First Aid. I'm originally from Michigan and moved to California just last September with my partner. I went to Grand Valley State for 3 years switching from pre-med to therapeutic recreation until I finally realized that childcare is where my heart and soul belong. I have worked with kids for about 8 years, including helping my siblings with my nieces and nephew to being a nanny for several different families around Los Angeles County and several around the beach cities. I am comfortable with and have experience with all ages, mostly newborn-toddler, and also experience with twins/multiples. My partner is a behavior therapist for kids with Autism and so I have some experience with special needs as well. I have had wonderful experiences with the families I have worked for and keep a close relationship with the parents and the kids even after working for them. Right now I am trying to find the right family to build a relationship with and that I will be able to raise my own child around one day. I look forward to meeting new welcoming, accepting, and fun families!
