Jhomely's Child Care & Development Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Araceli Gonzalez, the founder of Jhomely’s Child Care & Development Wonderschool. I named my program “Jhomely” after my two wonderful kids, Jonathan and Melanye. My kids are both in their 20s now and work at great companies. We are a close-knit family and enjoy spending time with each other. I have always loved working with kids, so I’m happy that running my in-home child care program allows me to be surrounded by little ones!

I was inspired to start my own program many years ago because it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow. I distinctly remember when I was in Kindergarten, I learned how to cook, draw and paint at school and my teacher offered plenty of hands-on, engaging activities. I think back to how fortunate I was to have a great early childhood education and that motivates me to provide all children in my community with opportunities to express their creativity.

Philosophy

At Jhomely’s Child Care & Development Wonderschool, I believe that safety and love are the most important components of running a child care program. Love helps children develop better self-esteem so they can become stronger and more independent. Safety to me means giving parents peace of mind that their children are in an environment that is clean, healthy, and secure every single day. I value communication and want families to trust that my program is the highest quality option in their area.

My goal is for children to value themselves and gain a solid early education that prepares them for school and beyond. I provide opportunities for children to learn from both teacher-led instruction and free play/self-directed learning. I offer the Creative Curriculum for children of all ages. In addition, I have thoughtfully designed my space with plenty of natural, wooden materials aligned to the Reggio Emilia philosophy. My program aims to be the perfect mix of relaxation, education and fun!

En Jhomely’s Child Care & Development Wonderschool, creo que la seguridad y el amor son los componentes más importantes para administrar un programa de cuidado infantil. El amor ayuda a los niños a desarrollar una mejor autoestima para que puedan fortalecerse y ser más independientes. La seguridad para mí significa darles a los padres la tranquilidad de que sus hijos se encuentran en un ambiente limpio, saludable y seguro todos los días. Valoro la comunicación y quiero que las familias confíen en que mi programa es la opción de más alta calidad en su área.

Mi objetivo es que los niños se valoren a sí mismos y obtengan una educación temprana sólida que los prepare para la escuela y el futuro. Brindo oportunidades para que los niños aprendan tanto de la instrucción dirigida por la maestra como del juego libre / aprendizaje autodirigido. Ofrezco el Creative Curriculum para niños de todas las edades. Además, he diseñado cuidadosamente mi espacio con muchos materiales naturales de madera alineados con la filosofía de Reggio Emilia. Mi programa quiere ser la combinación perfecta de relajación, educación y diversión.

Location

Jhomely’s Child Care & Development Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, beautiful single family home in the Chula Vista neighborhood. We are lucky to live in a peaceful, safe and family-friendly community.

Children will have plenty of outdoor time every day in my spacious private backyard. I believe that children need time in fresh air every day. At Jhomely’s Child Care & Development Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
