Our Teachers

Our teaching team is highly qualified and experienced, bringing over 20 years of expertise in child development. We have served in childcare centers supporting unhoused and extremely low-income families, gaining deep insight into the diverse needs of young children. Our credentials include Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education, Site Supervisor permits, and current CPR and First Aid Certifications.

Philosophy

Our program is dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and inclusive environment where every child is treated with respect and care. We offer a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and support individual growth. We believe children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. These meaningful moments help children build essential skills in social-emotional development, cognitive thinking, language, literacy, and physical coordination. Our goal is to lay a strong foundation that inspires children to become confident, capable, and lifelong learners.

Location

Our location is in the Oceanview neighborhood. We are located 1 block from Minnie Lovie Recreational Center. Location is accessible from Balboa Bart, 28, 29, 54 bus lines.
