Our Teachers

My name is Lusine Muradyan. I am the owner and provider at Wonder Dreams Family Child Care located in Sun Valley, California. As a daughter of an Awarded Preschool Teacher, I have been taking care of and in the assistance to teaching process since my childhood. Later I got my Bachelor Degree in Pedagogy and Teaching Languages. As time flew, I became a mother of two wonderful daughters with time gap of eight years in between. So, I got a chance to apply all technics of upbringing children of different age on my own experience. Having a huge experience of working with different age children (almost all my life) determined me to share the same within my community and start my own day care home. I believe the environment where kids can learn to respect themselves and each other is very important for a growing child. This is the reason why I created nurturing atmosphere where they can get social, emotional skills, play and learn as most life imperative skills are developed through children play. Parent-teacher collaboration is also very important to better understand the inner world of the child which will contribute to more effective learning experiences. Communication is the key.

We feel lucky to have found this wonderful daycare community. From the very first day, Lusine and her amazing team made us feel completely at ease, something we didn’t think was possible when we first started looking for care for our daughter. We were so nervous to send her anywhere, but Lusine’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for the children quickly erased those fears. Over the past year, our daughter has absolutely thrived; she comes home happy, confident, and full of new words, songs, and adventures every day. It’s clear how much thought and care go into every activity, meal, and interaction. Lusine and her team have created such a nurturing and joyful environment that feels like an extension of our own family. We’re deeply grateful for all they’ve done and couldn’t imagine a better place for our daughter to grow and learn.

Testimonials

My husband and I have been so blessed to have found Lusine and her childcare facility. My son has been with her for about a year and he looks forward to seeing her every single day. She really does care and plans out different activities for the kids to do each day such as dancing, painting, singing and exercising. We highly recommend Lusine at Wonder Dreams Childcare. Kristen B.

Lusine and the whole Wonder Dreams facility is such a blessing! From the very beginning, she was extremely communicative and made us feel at ease. Our daughter was comfortable and drawn to her from the start. We love seeing how excited she gets to walk into the program every time. Thank you so much for what you do and for doing it so excellently! Lindsay Johnson

I am so lucky I found wonder dreams daycare and specially Lusine. She made a big impact on my daughters life and personality she was able to connect with her right away and for her to feel safe and comfortable. I am forever thankful the way they took care of like their own, not many daycares do that but here they do when I drop her off I leave without worries knowing she is in good hands and she enjoys her time there. Don’t hesitate to bring your child and change his/her life (for good). Teresa Quezada

This child care is located in a very quiet place, far away from the crowded roads and is surrounded with beautiful nature. The owner has a Bachelor in education which is very beneficial for the children. Definitely recommend this place. Nataliya Lagover

Philosophy

In our childcare facility, children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded. It is highly believed that every child is happy when understood and heard, leading to openness to the environment, discovering the interesting world around them through play. Our play-based philosophy focuses on children learning social, cognitive, and emotional skills by exploring new environments and experiences. The environment is responsive to the children in our care, allowing their own interests to facilitate learning and engagement processes.

Location

WONDER DREAMS FAMILY CHILD CARE is located in a picturesque cul de sac area in Sun Valley, California away from traffic which contributes to fresh air in the facility premises and also ensures safety drop off and pick up process.

There is a plenty of parking place any time of the day so as parents could take their time and make a stressless stop to reunite with their kids after a hard work day.

We combine learning experience and physical activities on fresh air to get best result in age appropriate educational program. We also work on fine and gross motor skills development through creative activities, arts, crafts, building, construction materials and a lot more.
The program is balanced having free play, play based program with offering academic curriculum for all ages.
