Nestled in the soft rolling hills of Amador County, just off Highway 16 and Latrobe Road, Sacramento and El Dorado Hills commuters love the easy access that our home daycare offers them.

With 17 years of experience in childcare and pre-school, infants and pre-school children love the warm inviting environment where they are loved and nurtured, yet have many opportunities for learning. Children of all ages are encouraged to join in on the fun of music time, story telling, art as well as planting in our spring garden.

The pre-K curriculum will have children ready and excited about starting school and will learn beginning writing, early math skills and beginning reading, all while having fun and having many hands on opportunities.

Come join our family of friends as we learn and have adventures together!

I believe that children learn best when they are active in their own interests. For that reason I have adopted the Reggio Emilia Approach to learning. Reggio Emilia was developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy . Combining developmental programs as well as Montessori, children get a chance to choose activities they enjoy and later reflect on what they have learned. You will see planned daily learning activities developed for Kindergarten readiness as well as discovery/play based learning that will be inviting to children of all ages. This combined with reading ,singing and art will give the children a wide variety of things to keep them excited about learning.

What to expect from a Reggio learning environment?

Emergent curriculum - Listening to children while they play and allowing them to be involved in the planning of the curriculum.

Projects - Ideas for special projects come from the children. I will help them make decisions on topic, what direction the projects will take and what materials will be needed.

Collaboration - Collaboration is needed for good socialization. Children will learn to problem solve together, learn to compare, and to negotiate. Learning a sense of self and community.
