Our Commitment During Covid
We are proud to have remained open from the very start of the pandemic, caring for the children of Essential Workers during Shelter-in-Place. From March 2020 to April 2021 we expanded our program to include kindergarteners and distance learning support while elementary schools were closed.
Now as more families return to childcare, we are here and prepared, sharing our experience and ease with the new safety protocol and procedures. Full compliance with CA Dept. of Social Services Community Care Licensing Covid-19 Health and Safety Protocol since March 2020, details available. (Note: website photos are from our pre-mask days; children currently wear masks.)
