My name is Tamra and I run "T" Is 4 Tots Childcare and Preschool. I have been running this licensed daycare for a year now come August and have had 5 children all together at once by myself. My plan is to turn into a large daycare in August and take on more children with a helper. I love children and I am getting my bachelors in Early Childhood Development. I will graduate in June 2008. I would love to have your little one in my care. Since I was a child I always loved being with children and taking care of them. Parents trusted me with their children from the time I was 11 years old. Then my parents decided to have another baby, and I got a child to play with whenever I wanted to. My sister is where I got most of my experience and love for children. Below is a list of the key points about my daycare/preschool: *Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum *Daily Schedule *Reasonable Rates *Flexible Hours *Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks Provided (we are soon to be on the Food Program) *Potty Training Included *Children are taught to be problem solvers *Conveniently located by the 91, 55, 22 and 57 freeways. Check out my website. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to call or e-mail me. I look forward to talking with you soon!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Placentia, CA

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

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

When looking for a preschool near you in Placentia, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
