Licensed Family Daycare & Preschool in Santa Clara
With over three decades of dedicated service in early childhood education, I have cultivated a nurturing environment that prioritizes holistic development for preschool and school-aged children. My professional journey includes teaching roles in public and private preschools, elementary schools, and family daycare centers across Santa Clara Unified schools. Holding 40+ child development units and 130+ hours of specialized training, I am certified by the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Santa Clara Unified School District, and California State Department of Education in critical areas such as emotional development, language acquisition, and curriculum design. My in-home preschool, operational since 2010, offers a structured yet warm classroom setting with a thematic curriculum that integrates math, science, arts, and motor skills.Certified in pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid, I maintain rigorous safety standards through Live Scan fingerprinting, background checks, and mandated reporter compliance. My program accommodates children aged 1+ with flexible enrollment options, emphasizing individualized attention and family-like bonds. Daily educational reports track each child's progress, ensuring transparency with families. This commitment to quality, experience, and child-centered learning defines my approach to early education.
