5049 Leigh Avenue San Jose, CA

I'm a mother of three girls, 22, 25, and 29. My husband and I have been married 31 years this October. While our girls were growing up, I took of care of children, one or two at a time, sometimes 3 or 4 as our girls got older. I've cared for infants, toddlers and while our girls were in elementary school and middle school, after school care. My love of children also carried over to when I owned a Jazzercise franchise for 19 years. During this time, in addition to teaching adult classes, I also taught classes for K-5th grade. I taught PE at a few schools, held after school programs, and summer camps. I also volunteered at a school every spring for 9 of those years by teaching a dance to the four kindergarten classes for their Dance Fest. I'm still caring for children just 1-2 at a time so I can give the children all of my attention. I love reading to the children in my care, going on walks to the park, singing, bubbles, play dough and arts and crafts. Most recently I was taking care of a little boy, 22 months old. I cared for him since he was 4 months, they recently moved. If you're looking for a small, loving, home daycare situation with someone who loves to read to your children and has wonderful references, please contact me.

4000 Knollglen Way San Jose, CA

Thank you for visiting my page! I've partnered with parents in raising their kids since 1995, when it was my way of providing for my family while home with my own kiddos. I live on a tree lined street near Hacienda School, providing a nurturing family environment for the kids. Having an abundance of experience with young kids, I'm happy to assist parents with parenting questions or concerns anytime. I enjoy relationships with all my daycare parents, working hand in hand with them in offering a wonderful experience for their kids. Your family's health, safety and well being are my highest priority! I've worked diligently to protect my daycare families during this pandemic and continue to follow all guidance at all times, including being fully vaccinated and masking. It's important for my families to be in community with each other, which I foster by hosting Friday night dinners at my home as well as Halloween and Christmas celebrations for the families. I look forward to resuming these fun activities when it is safe to do so! I serve nutritious, delicious meals and snacks including whole grains, organic milk, organic infant formula and organic fruits and vegetables. I offer each child personal care and attention as we enjoy our daily activities promoting preschool and kindergarten readiness, socialization skills and self esteem. I have a large, shady patio where the kiddos can play in the sandbox or water table, or draw pictures with sidewalk chalk. My lawn is very spacious, where kids enjoy a playhouse along with various toys to climb up and slide down. Sometimes we just run around in the sprinklers! Contact me to arrange a time for me to show you what I'm all about.

Hello, welcome to Willow Glen Daycare! My name is "Keirsty (pronounced Keer-stee) and I am a mom of 10 yr old twin boys. Prior to becoming a mom and a daycare provider, I worked as a Marriage Family Therapist and switched careers shortly after the babies were born. I have been in business 5 years and love what I do! Because I am a very small business and maintain a low enrollment, I am able to give your children all the time and attention they require. I follow a typical pre-school structure with a mixture of free time and planned exploration activities focusing on creativity and imagination. I start the day with circle time that involves music, movement and a story and, if the weather permits, we set out for a morning walk. I live on a nice street where neighbors know each other and kids play outside. Sometimes we'll walk around the neighborhood and if we are feeling more adventurous we will head to a local park or story time at the library. I provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment for your children that allows them the opportunity to develop and grow in a home away from home environment. Collaboration with parents is essential to a successful partnership. I aim for a co-parenting style and work with parents to understand and support their children's every need from an emotional, physical and behavioral standpoint. With a maximum 3:1 ratio I'm able to support your children through every developmental milestone and have them preschool ready when the times comes. I know juggling work and home life has its challenges and I am here to assist! My children are in San Jose Unified School District and with the school hours and various school holidays, it can be hard to organize care for siblings. Because of my low enrollment I have plenty of room to accommodate siblings daycare needs and I'm happy to help. Weekly full time rate: $475.00 Open from 7:00am-5:30pm COVID: Due to the pandemic I take safety and health cautions very seriously for the protection of your family and mine. We sanitize hands and take temperatures before entering, wash hands throughout the day and I sanitize in the evening in preparation for the next day. My family is vaccinated but, with all of the uncertainties, we remain cautious.

At Early childhood Learning Academy we believe the first five years of a child’s life are crucial in laying the foundation for later developments, and we believe that the emotional domain is foundational to all other developmental domains. Moreover, we believe in the importance of early experiences and early literacy, we provide our children with a stimulating curriculum, consistent structure, and plenty of indoors and outdoors play. And we build children’s feelings that they are respected and competent which motivates their desire to learn and follow direction. We challenge children in a realistic way without pressure, and without causing any stress or discouragement. Our curriculum fosters an individualized approach to teaching and flexibility to facilitate children’s learning. Our teachers are dedicated and offer plenty of one-on-one attention. Our children are not restrained, they are gently taught and they acquire excellent literacy, math and social-emotional skills by the time they graduate to kindergarten . In the last 7 years we were able to track ECLA students and follow their progress in elementary school.

Hello! We are the Sharpe's and owners and founders of Kids Sharpe Center. We have been working with children and families for over 25 years. We are both educators by training and have a heart for children and families. We believe every child is smart and believe that social-emotional, spiritual and academic development is important and is best developed in an environment of mutual trust and respect. We believe that growing the WHOLE child is key to the lifelong success of a human being. With the right individualized coaching, teaching and support - each child can have success in every area of development! Every child is different and each child deserves to be educated and loved in a way that brings out the best in them. We have a family environment, where we treat your child as one of our own. Our PRESCHOOL program serves children, 2-5 years of age. We have a very low ratio. Two adults to 6 children. Our kindergarten readiness program supports our our students so that they enter kindergarten prepared, physically, emotionally, cognitively. Language development is a crucial part of kindergarten success! Our philosophy is emergent, meaning we believe children learn best when they are interested in what they are learning. Learning happens when it is hands on. Rote memorization is not learning. We focus on premath, prereading and prescience experiences that will prepare children for kindergarten but also feel like they are playing. We use the Spell, Read, to Write language program and the STEM program for math and science. We design an individualize program for your child so that they are prepare for the kindergarten they will be attending. We use formal and informal assessment tools to insure that your child is on track. In addition to our academic subjects, we provide art and music experiences, field trips, Spanish, health and nutrition education and character education. We value community and our first priority is that each child feels respected and respects others. Community is important and young children need to learn the skills necessary to successfully resolve conflicts, make good choices and understand logical consequences. This takes lots of practice! We use the Love and Logic approach to discipline. We feel that partnering with parents is important in order to insure that we are a team working together towards your child's goals. We offer parent workshops and one-one-one parent coaching and resources for our parents. We also provide opportunities for parents to be part of our program by participating in various volunteer opportunities. Parents are the most important teachers and their involvement is key to the success of our program. Their is no other program in the county that provides a family environment with the benefits of care and education that is the highest quality. We look forward to meeting you and your little one!

We have sharing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have music time, circle time, and craft time daily. The children have many activities, and toys to play with during the day. We go outside also (weather permitting). On days when we play outside the children have ride on toys, water tables, balls, chalk, and other things that they enjoy.. I provide 2 healthy snacks , breakfast, and hot lunches. Each child has a bucket and a daily journal that they bring to daycare each day. I write in a journal so that the parents can see what kind of day their child had. These are just a few things about my daycare.
