A Little Family Daycare is an in-home child care facility in Atascadero, CA. We are licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services to provide in-home care for up to 8 children at any given time (License #406215946). We are certified in infant, child and adult First-Aid, CPR, and AED. We have also completed a Preventative Health & Safety Certification and Nutrition Course. Our facility director has a degree in Clinical Psychology and Intergenerational Development. We are committed to providing your child with quality care by encouraging self-expression through language, art, music, and physical activity. Our structure places emphasis on learning through play which will build socialization and self-help skills and will also improve their self-esteem. We believe the world can be saved one child at a time. This can be done by providing a safe, stable, and loving environment for all children so that they can grow up to be confident, successful members of society. Our day will consist of one or more of the following: Use and development of language skills, use of large and small muscles, use of materials that encourage creativity and imaginary play, daily indoor and outdoor activities pending the weather, active and quiet play, individual and group activities. We also watch Sesame Street daily. The children will be taught to clean-up after themselves by putting toys away, clearing the table after a meal or snack, and cleaning up after rest time. They will also help with outdoor chores such as taking care of the animals (feeding the chickens, collecting eggs and changing hummingbird feeder) as well as gardening chores (planting seeds, picking herbs and flowers, and watering plants). We are open from 7:45am - 5:45pm, Tuesday - Friday, excluding major holidays. All meals are provided and include breakfast, AM snack, lunch, and PM snack. How We Got Started I started babysitting when I was 10 years old, so taking care of children has always been in my heart. After my own children were all grown up, I worked as a backup daycare provider for a friend of mine for 4 years before starting my own in-home daycare and preschool back in 2017.
