24922 Muirlands Blvd. Trlr 109 Lake Forest, CA

Open doors and arms to those from the Children's Home Society of California! Open in Lake Forest since 2005, I have provided government licensed childcare for families with newborns to 4-5 years old. I love all of my children and believe it is important that they all are receive my full attention and personal supervision so i like to keep our group relatively small but am licensed for a capacity up to 8. I believe a home daycare should be more than just a place to be while the parents or guardians are a way at work, but a place to learn. In my home daycare I take pride in providing teaching for mathematics, reading and writing English and even Spanish (if you so choose your child to learn). The vast majority of children that leave my daycare to go into kindergarten leave with advanced skills used in school from multiplication to being bilingual. This is all at no extra cost. Between all of the learning, we like to have fun and work on art projects the children can take home with them. When it's time to eat, we like to have homecooked meals that meat all necessary nutritional guidelines of La Habra Child Development Child Care Food Program while also respecting any dietary restrictions and allergies. So please, consider Tweety Small Daycare for your childcare needs.

Chi (Daycare Owner), who holds an International Montessori Teaching Diploma through the North American Montessori Center, has over 10 years of in-home family daycare experience beginning in 2012.

WELCOME! I own Rockinghorse Home Day Care which has been offering state licensed care to children 6 weeks to Pre-K in a small group environment. I believe: C...communication is essential; A...accomplishments in every stage of a child's life builds self-esteem; R...respect of each child's needs is necessary; E...encouraging children promotes individual growth. PHILOSOPHY ~ Children are individuals with their own unique qualities. With a soft approach I look for ways to encourage that unique quality showing respect to the child and teaching them to respect others. By offering interaction between varying age groups; each age group benefits. Infants strive to achieve skills toddlers have mastered and toddlers learn the skills of teaching and nurturing younger ones. INCENTIVES ~ Parents Night Out: So our clients can enjoy a night out for some quality time; we offer extended care at no charge. WHY I BECAME A LICENSED FCCP (Family Child Care Provider) ~ With a desire to be home during my sons early years in life, I chose to leave the corporate world where I was a Health and Safety Manger for a major company and follow in the footsteps of my mother who also operates a successful child care. ROUTINE ~ I believe that a good daily routine consists of a balance of stimulating activities, freedom to explore, healthy eating and rest. A routine also gives children a sense of security which fosters a learning environment and builds self-esteem and social skills. NUTRITION ~ I believe that food is an experience and given the opportunity, children enjoy exploring various flavors, textures and colors. I offer healthy snacks and lunch in our toddler program. I am not opposed to sweets; but keep those to a minimum. EDUCATION ~ WestEd - PITC (Program for Infant/Toddler Care), Dept. of Education - Brain Smart, Child Nutrition and Health and Safety. SAFETY ~ For 25+ years I've maintained CPR/First Aid certification. In closing, I take seriously the role I play in caring for children and the impact I have on them. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you.

FAQs for finding a pre-k near you in Lake Forest, CA

Pre-k programs in Lake Forest, CA offer an opportunity to introduce your child to school activities, develop social skills, and foster an enthusiasm for learning.

We recommend checking whether pre-k is mandatory or voluntary in Lake Forest, CA, as well as reviewing pre-k curriculum at your top choices to make sure it meets your child's needs.
