I am a licensed family child care provider with experience caring for and supporting young children. I hold a California Child Development Associate Teacher Permit and have completed college-level coursework in Early Childhood Education. I am continuing my education to further strengthen my knowledge and skills in child development. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued. My program is inspired by the Montessori philosophy, encouraging children to learn through hands-on experiences, exploration, independence.

Our approach
How I care for children
Waldorf + Montessori approach
I believe children learn through…
Hands-on experiences, imaginative play, exploration, and meaningful activities that encourage independence, creativity, and confidence.
So I set up my environment to…
Feel calm, welcoming, and organized, with natural materials and accessible activities that children can explore independently.
And I choose activities that…
Include practical life skills, art, music, movement, sensory exploration, and imaginative play while encouraging independence.
I hope children leave with…
Confidence, independence, creativity, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.
Meals
Breakfast, hot lunch, and two snacks daily

Families
What families say
Our daughter runs to the door every morning. She's cared for like family, and we get a note every day about how her day went.
Small group, warm home, and real communication. After two years here our son started kindergarten confident and curious.
I never worry when I drop him off. The meals are wholesome, the naps are peaceful, and the updates make me feel like I'm still part of his day.
We looked at several programs and kept coming back to this one because it feels like an extension of home. Our kids are thriving.
