May has been working with children for two decades now and has made taking care of them her lifelong passion. She has a degree in child development, has worked at college campus daycares, centers, at home family daycares, and eventually opened up her own family daycare in 2015 in San Marcos. After five years of wonderful experiences, she moved to Lake Forest and wishes to continue her passion at her second home daycare. She has immense respect for both parents and their children equally, acknowledging the children's' growing individuality. The home provided for her children is kept regularly sanitized multiple ties per day, and she enforces a safe and comfortable learning environment for children to learn to share, be themselves, and grow through positive social interactions, all while having lots and lots of fun.May believes nutrition is as important as education and therefore provides two homemade meals and two snacks every single day, making sure she makes everything with love and care. Since May is a mother herself, she is highly educated on children's nutrition and will make sure all her children at her facility get whole, well rounded meals. She is a certified preschool teacher, CPR and First Aid Trained, and also registered with the YMCA, CPA, CalWorks.

HISTORY: We open in June of 2002 in Mission Viejo, CA and moved to Ladera Ranch, Ca in December 2005. On the first years I just had the small license at that time I was working by my self, but in August of 2006 I get the Large Capacity licensed that give us the opportunity to work with my husband. Julio and I meet in Colombia our native country, when we both were at the Dentistry School, He graduated on sept 1992 and I graduated on sept 1993, we got to practice until july 1998 that we moved to Aliso Viejo, CA. I Work as a Dental Assistant in Lake Forest Dental office and at the same time went back to college to take ELS, art and Early Child Education after those classes I decided to change my career and get focus on the Early Education, that is the world that we really enjoy. PHILOSOPHY: I believe my job as a child care provider is to support the role of parents. I strive to enhance the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth of each and every child in a safe, lovely and healthy environment. Learning require children's active thinking as they play, explore, experiment, and interact with people and objects. Strong programs help children make sense of those experience. Play has enormous benefits for children. Play provides the foundation of learning. Though play children prepares to learn. These include concepts, such as letters, and numbers. As children play, they become involved in open-ended exploration, make discoveries, work on problems, make choices, and discover what interest them. We hope to see you again!

QUALITY CARE: NOT MORE THAN 4 KIDS AT A TIME. HOURS: 6AM-6PM FULLTIME, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Dear Parents, My name is Pari and I am a Licensed child care provider. I am First-Aid and CPR certified. I have also been Live Scan fingerprinted and background checked. I speak fluent Farsi, Spanish and English. Children are my passion. Before opening a daycare, I was a personal Nanny of two kids, from the time they were born until were six years old and off to school. My Philosophy: As a child care provider, I believe that having Passion, Love and Respect for the Children is Number one and it's my Priority. If we treat children with Love and Respect, they grow to be happier and more confident and with great self-esteem. By providing a child with a nurturing environment, they will be more responsive to their education and every day tasks. My main focus is to respect their physical and emotional needs in every moment. A child who knows that he/she is loved has a great head start in life. Which is why I provide a safe, fun, loving and educational environment for your little ones. I will provide a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. [No junk, frozen of microwaved foods.] A copy of a monthly menu will be provided to the parents and can be adjusted to accommodate for food allergies. I provide a Preschool Curriculum. Our daily activities are created to help and enhance your child's fine and gross motor skills and other areas of development. Activities are designed to help your child recognize numbers, shapes, patterns, colors and the alphabet. We also include story-time, music time and fun arts and crafts throughout the day.
