39599 Tamarisk Street Murrieta, CA

I am a college graduate with a degree in education and sixteen years of childcare experience. I have made the decision to offer my services outside of the bureaucratic school system where I can focus my attention more on the children's individual needs in a fostering environment and less on the paperwork. I am determined to make an overwhelmingly positive impact on the children I have the opportunity to work with. I have substantial interest in developing good habits. By reinforcing positive behavior with peers & adults and teaching them socially acceptable mannerisms, your child(ren) will be standout students in the classroom setting and respectable at home. My fun approach to learning focuses on keeping the children stimulated. In addition to teaching the children how to keep a clean environment after play, I lead with example by cleaning my house and the toys regularly. Nutritional education is imperative for our future generations with the obesity epidemic our country faces (it is the 2nd leading cause of death in our country after tobacco smoke!) I focus on healthy meals every day, there is an organic option for every meal. Quality matters to me, and I ensure that every aspect of your child's care is associated with high quality. From the ingredients used in my meals to the lessons I plan, everything is selected with the purpose of creating the best environment for your child to grow in. Through my years of experience working in this setting with children, I have learned various techniques to uniquely address each individual child's needs. I guarantee your child(ren) will find my daycare to be a great home away from home. I provide flexible hours of operation from Monday-Friday from 7am-5:30pm. Please contact me and I will be glad to answer your questions, discuss pricing, and schedule an appointment for you and your child to meet me and take a tour of the house.

28400 San Sebastian Ave Murrieta, CA

Availability Updated 9/19/24 1 infant spot (15+months) 4 toddler spots (2years and up) Hello, my name is Sonia, I own and operate a large in-home licensed childcare. Ohana Childcare IS quality childcare. I have worked for the school district as well as three daycare centers. I am certified in Pediatric/Adult CPR, First Aid, and Health Prevention. I have taken all Early Child Development and Education classes. I have cleared all background checks. As a parent, I know how difficult it is to find reliable, quality, and a safe learning environment for my child. As a childcare provider, I believe all children have their own unique way of learning and it is my job to find out what that may be, children learn through dramatic play, imagination, exploration, and through socialization. Here at Ohana Childcare, I provide all of those qualities and much more. Children do lots of arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading stories, and lots of playtime. I have a classroom set up, an indoor playhouse, my entire first floor is dedicated to my daycare children. Children need space to explore and in other child cares just one dedicated room to 14 children is not enough space for them to thrive in. My childcare is not just my living room and kitchen, it is my living room, formal living room (which has been converted to a classroom), my kitchen and nook. Please contact me for rates! Open Mon-Fri: 7:30-5:00

My name is Jennifer, I am 30 years old and a mother of 3 children. My oldest son is 10 years old and in 5th grade. I have a set of 5-year-old boy/girl twins who just entered Kindergarten. I have always worked with Children, as it is one of my passions to watch them grow and excel! I have many years of experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and have my Livescan/Background check done yearly as I currently work at a Private School and Church. As a working Mother, I know how hard it is to find a reliable, trustworthy person that you can count on to help care for your child(ren). Which is why I've decided to step down from my job and work from home, so I can not only be with my children, but to be available for yours! I am currently in the process of getting my licensing for childcare in my home, located in Murrieta. Though I am not licensed, I do have years of experience and referrals you may contact.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Murrieta, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Murrieta, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Murrieta, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Murrieta, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Murrieta, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Murrieta, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
