Babe Jackson provides two services here at Tiny Babe's Playhouse Child Care, childcare and tutoring services. TBP is a home away from home for your child(ren) ages 0-6 yrs old. It is also our TBP Fast Track Tutoring location for students in need of catching up or wanting to remain above average and academically polished. We adore children of all ages. Those between the ages of infancy to 5 years old are especially adorable and extremely teachable. I am not your ordinary Child Care Provider. I definitely don't consider myself a babysitter. My staff and I actually spend time TEACHING your children. At Tiny Babe's Playhouse, we are educators. No baby is too young to be exposed to educational environments. Our expertise is teaching extremely young children to excel, particularly in reading, math, and alphabets, telling time, multiplying and spelling. We have a 4 year old that came in 6th place in a Spelling Bee. All the other children in the competition were 5 & 6 years old. They were required to spell words as tough as locomotive, stethoscope, comprehension, economical, kindergarten and much more. Of course, our goal is to make sure your child is phonemically aware so that s/he can SPELL and READ anything. We provide 2 heart-healthy meals and 2 heart-healthy snacks per day. No fried or processed foods. We schedule educational & fun field trips, and go to the library often during the summer. The pandemic, however, as altered field trips for now. My staff has over 40 years of experience combined working with young children. We absolutely love teaching them and challenging their little brains. Our facility teaches basic American Sign Language (ASL), basic Spanish, History, Science & Global Studies. Three to four (3 to 4) years of your child being enrolled in our child care your child is GUARANTEED to be at least 3, yes THREE years academically advanced. Enrolling your child early (as young as infant stages) is best. Why? Because we can GUARANTEE by the time your child is 4 years old, they'll be able to read on a 1st or 2nd grade level, write, do basic math, tell time, be ACADEMICALLY prepared for 1st grade, and know their phonics so well they'll be able to help YOU with misspelled words. :-) "We make sure learning is fun" so call us and schedule a tour of our facility.

A-List Montessori is located in Culver City that provides a safe and peaceful learning environment for our preschoolers. Our intimate school also gives the child the necessary tools to develop and grow in their academics. The Montessori classroom provides a prepared environment in which the child can choose their desired learning materials. Our practical life material helps the child with hand-eye coordination and fine and gross motor movements. Our sensory material helps the child to discriminate color, size, shape, weight and length differences. Reading, Geography and Mathematical concepts are introduced at this level as well. Our difference is the Montessori hands-on approach to education, takes into consideration the entire potential of the child, mentally, socially, physically and emotionally. The Montessori method provides the child with an independent learning experience. With our philosophy, children learn by experiencing and manipulating their physical environment. Children are social beings and need opportunities for meaningful social interaction to develop social competence, problem solving skills, a critical consciousness, autonomy, self-regulation and a sense of purpose. They need experiences that encourage them to make choices, interact with one another, problem solve, express their own thoughts and feelings, listen to another perspective, and negotiate. Through these experiences, children develop, test, and refine appropriate strategies of interaction with their peers and adults. The Montessori method guides the child with this development. Byanka Delgadillo Pacleb / Founder / Director / Head Teacher. In the early years, the love of working with children began at the Jewish Community Center as a swim instructor. To confirm that working with children was her passion, she spent 10 years at Beverlywood Swim School teaching infants and toddlers how to swim. The greatest joy in her tenure was teaching children how to swim with autism. This career path lead her to obtain her accreditation as a certified Montessori Head Teacher at Capitol College in Chino, CA in 2009 that is accredited by American Montessori Society (AMS) and the U.S. Department of Education. She quickly landed a position as a head teacher in the west side of Los Angeles where she spent 7 wonderful years teaching the toddler and pre-K classrooms with 30+ children in each setting. In her spare time, she was a Girl Scout Troop leader to help young girls connect with there community. This journey has now progressed to the point of being the owner and operator of A-List Montessori Preschool.
