We provide individualized care in a small in-home environment and believe in nurturing the whole child. We accept infants as young as 6 weeks, and generally up to 4 years. We are open from 8 am to 6 pm. We strongly believe in nurturing the whole child. Our goal is always to let the children lead, have open communication, and encourage their interests. We provide the children with the utmost care and love in an environment with their success and acceptance in mind. We believe that children thrive in a calm, simple and encouraging environment. We love to keep our school open and bright, free of clutter, with toys that have a goal to help them learn. We incorporate the children in everyday tasks such as hanging laundry outside, juicing oranges, baking/cooking, picking up after ourselves, feeding the rabbits, etc. We find that these small activities excite the children. Art, outdoor activities, free play, reading, and independent play are some of the activities children partake in daily. It's amazing what there is to learn, when we nurture the child within.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Northridge, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Northridge, 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 Northridge, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Northridge, 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 Northridge, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Northridge, 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.
