I have over 25 years of experience working in the childcare environments, Corporate, non-profit, and family day care. I loved what I did in the education/child care field; but wanted to take what I truly enjoyed doing down to a smaller scale. When the opportunity came in 2013, I said good-bye to the corporate world and said "Hello" to Family Child Care. I received my license in August, 2013. As of today, I am continuing to teach a combination of the corporate-level curriculum that I found to be most beneficial for comprehensive learning while still maintaining the guidelines set by the State of California. I have been teaching/caring for children in my home now for over 12 years! I love what I do! We have a lot of fun. Right now, I have a toddler and Preschool-aged enrolled. We have been learning the basics starting with the alphabet, numbers, colors, various themes, outside play, and our favorite of celebrating various Holidays/Seasons. As they get older, we will gradually progress to Phonics, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, with more advanced/challenging curriculum. Currently, I have been incorporating these topics by teaching through play, as well as doing a "Circle Time" - type daily lesson plans. Our meals/snacks are Family Style - where we all sit down together at the table to eat. I offer Breakfast, Lunch, and 2-3 snacks/day. I am fully licensed with State Clearance. I have my Associate's degree in Child Development and Educational Studies. My childcare is licensed for 6 weeks old to 10 years old. I am fully certified in Infant/Pediatric/Adult CPR/First Aid, Health & Safety certified. I am affiliated with the National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC); Children's Home Society of Orange County (CHS); the City of Irvine; and Orange County Association for the Education of Young Children (OCAEYC). I can also take CalWorks on a case-by-case basis. I am fully vaccinated including booster vaccination.

Our program is year-round, but we do have an official start date of a new academic year each fall. Our program enrolls on a monthly basis as space allows. Tuition includes 2 snacks per day and lunch. At sparks Academy, we utilize both Maria Montessori + Reggio Emilia philosophies. The children receive individualized lessons in academics including language and math, and group lessons in science. A certified teacher works one-on-one with each child or in small groups to develop a learning plan that fits their pace of learning, emphasizes following through with each small step, and brings a sense of joy and organization to their learning. Reggio Emilia + Maria Montessori: is a philosophy that you will find influencing our entire curriculum and physical environment. We consider the environment to be the third teacher, and pay special attention to the cleanliness and organization of our space, as well as the inviting spaces and colors in our rooms and materials. We have a beautiful art studio (aka Atelier) where masterful art teachers work with children one-on-one and in groups. You'll also find that diversity is one of our core values. From our multilingual circles to our commitment to fostering different learning styles, we honor the diversity in the world and the uniqueness of each child. We cannot do what we do without the connection we have with parents. Communication between teachers and parents is consistent, complementary, and collaborative. Documentation, such as photos, notes, and collaborative analysis of children's activities, serves as a tool to help understand and guide decisions within the classroom. You can see that all of our philosophies and materials blend together to create a fun, child-led, environment focused on each child's fulfillment, learning journey, and joy!
