Cortez Family Childcare Wonderschool

Pwofesè nou yo

Hello! I am Erica Cortez , the founder of Cortez Family Childcare Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow. I have 2 years of experience working with young children.

Filozofi

At Cortez Family Childcare, we take pride in offering a warm and nurturing environment for your child’s early years. As a dedicated home daycare, we follow a child-centered approach that celebrates your little one’s uniqueness, drawing inspiration from both the Head Start and Montessori philosophies.

Our primary objective is to foster holistic development, ensuring that your child’s intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth is nurtured with utmost care and attention. We firmly believe in the power of play as a natural way for young minds to explore and learn about the world.

Within our loving home, we have thoughtfully prepared an environment that encourages independence, sparking your child’s curiosity and encouraging self-discovery. As experienced caregivers, we act as facilitators and guides, supporting your child’s educational exploration while instilling self-confidence and a love for learning.

Cortez Family Childcare places significant emphasis on teaching practical life skills, empowering your child with valuable abilities for everyday living. From self-care tasks to hands-on learning experiences, we pave the way for their future success and growth.

As a partner of local subsidiary programs like the Mexican Opportunity Foundation, we are committed to serving our diverse community and providing inclusive early childhood education. Through this partnership, we aim to further enrich your child’s learning experience and broaden their horizons.

We understand the importance of socialization in early childhood, and our daycare provides a welcoming atmosphere where your child can interact positively with peers. Kindness, empathy, and cooperation are the cornerstones of our caring family-oriented community.

Whether your child is embarking on their educational journey or building upon previous experiences, Cortez Family Childcare is here to offer a safe and nurturing space for their joyous growth and development.

Reach out to us today to explore how our home daycare can become an integral part of your child’s educational and personal growth. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome your precious one into our loving and supportive family.

Kote

Cortez Family Childcare Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, cozy single family home in the Pico Rivera neighborhood.

We’ve designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include an art area (for expressing emotions and ideas), nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts), and dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy).

​

Children will spend about half of their time outdoors at mix of both my private yard and local parks and playgrounds. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.

At Cortez Family Childcare Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment that supports the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child.
