Sandra's Family Daycare

My name is Sandra. I have been a daycare provider for 27 years. I am licensed for a large daycare. I am CDA certified by the Council for Professional Recognition.
I have been working with the Headstart Program (15 years), Chicano Federation (10 years), YMCA (24 years), Children's Home Society of California (CHS) (11 years), Child Development Association (CDA) (24 years), Child Care Aware of America (NACCRA) (3 years) and private parents. I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults.

A regular day for my children consists of:
*Breakfast.
*Circle time where we all sit in a circle and sing our good morning song and greet each other.
*Then I teach the Headstart curriculum for the day.
*We learn our ABC's, 123's, shapes, etc.
*We complete arts and crafts.
*We have morning recess where the children play outside and have an array of choices such as the water tables, sand tables, jungle gym, bikes, cars, painting, etc.
*After morning recess the children come in and have a healthy lunch.
*Then the children brush their teeth and take a nap (cots are provided).
*Once they wake up the children have an option to play in the library, kitchen, outside, art and crafts area, etc.
*The children have afternoon snacks and then are ready to go home.
