No add-on invoices

What the monthly rate covers.

Every licensed daycare quotes you a number. Very few tell you what is inside it. Here is ours, in full — including the short list of things it doesn't cover.

Doors open at 6:30 a.m.

Built for parents driving into the Valley or downtown, not for a 7:30 commute. No early-drop surcharge.

Nap gear and bedding

Cribs, cots, sheets and blankets, all washed here. Nothing to pack or carry home on Fridays.

Over 1,200 sq ft of yard

Fenced, shaded, and set back from the street on a dead-end road. Outside twice a day, every day it's safe to be.

Curriculum, written down

Play-based learning with real school-readiness goals, shared with you each term. Not a worksheet packet, not just babysitting.

Daily photos and notes

Meals, naps, diapers and the good moments, sent to your phone as they happen — not summarised at pickup.

Two adults, twelve kids

Ratios well under what a center runs, with the same two faces every single day.

Potty learning support

We work on your timeline, not ours, and we don't charge a diaper-class fee to do it.

Art, sensory and messy play

Paint, dough, water, sand and glue, all supplied. Send them in clothes you don't mind.

Sibling priority

Enroll one child and your next holds a spot before the waitlist ever sees it.

The food fee, in detail

A sample week at our table.

Cooked here each morning and served family style — everyone at one table, same food, passing bowls. It is the least efficient way to feed twelve children and by far the best one.

Babies starting solids get the same menu, pureed or cut down. You send formula or breast milk; everything else is ours.

Monday to Friday

  • Oatmeal with fruit · turkey and rice bowls · yogurt · apple slices

  • Scrambled eggs and toast · bean and cheese quesadillas · hummus and carrots

  • Banana pancakes · chicken pasta and peas · cheese and crackers

  • Yogurt parfait · lentil soup and bread · melon · popcorn

  • Cinnamon toast · homemade pizza and salad · frozen fruit bars

Menus posted weekly. Allergy and diet substitutions always made at no charge.

Being straight with you

What the rate does not cover.

Short list, and we would rather you read it here than discover it in week two.

You bring

  • Diapers and wipes
  • Formula or breast milk
  • Two changes of clothes
  • Sunscreen, if you prefer a specific one
  • A comfort item for naps

Charged separately

  • $150 registration, once at enrollment
  • Date Night Saturdays, pay per night
  • Late pickup after 6:00 p.m.
  • Field trip entry fees, when there are any

That is the complete list. There is no supply fee, no curriculum fee, no summer surcharge and no annual materials fee.

Where we are

Last house on a dead-end street.

We sit at the closed end of a Canyon Country cul-de-sac. There is no through road, no cut-through traffic, and nothing driving past the house all day. For a place full of two-year-olds, that is not a small thing.

  • No passing cars — the street ends at our driveway
  • Drop-off and pickup right at the door, never curbside on a busy road
  • Quiet enough that babies actually stay asleep through afternoon naps
  • Fenced yard set back from the street on every side
  • A residential pocket, not a strip mall or an office park
Main road We're here End of the cul-de-sac

Tucked away on purpose.

We share the exact address once your tour is confirmed — a small privacy habit that every parent here appreciates.

See it for yourself.

A tour takes about thirty minutes. You will meet us, see the infant room, and walk the yard.
