For Cerritos families
Home daycare just west of Cerritos, CA.
Anna’s Family Daycare is a small home daycare in Lakewood, which shares Cerritos’s western border. Cerritos families are welcome to ask about planned openings for children from 9 weeks to 12 years.
West on Del Amo or South St.
Lakewood sits along the west side of Cerritos, and two main streets, Del Amo Blvd and South St, run east to west through both cities. Distances below are approximate straight-line miles from the daycare. Your drive depends on route and traffic.
About 5.5 miles
Central Cerritos near the Towne Center
From the Bloomfield Ave area, head west on South St or Del Amo Blvd. Both cross the 605 and keep going into Lakewood.
About 6.5 miles
East Cerritos near Carmenita Rd
Families near the Orange County line can take Del Amo Blvd or South St all the way west, or use the 91 for part of the trip.
The 91 runs through the middle of Cerritos and the 605 runs along its west side, so freeway commuters have options at both ends of the day.
Small group care, without the center feel.
For Cerritos parents who would rather have one consistent caregiver and a quiet home setting than a large center with many classrooms.
- Anna as the caregiver your child sees every day
- A steady rhythm of free play, stories, art, meals, outdoor time and rest
- Infant routines kept individual, from bottles to naps
- Healthy meals and snacks planned for children old enough for them
- Regular updates on meals, naps, toileting and activities
- Current CPR and First Aid certification
Most of Cerritos is in ABC Unified, and a small area on the west side is in Bellflower Unified. School pickup isn’t offered, so school-age families plan their own drop-off and pickup.
One home, three age groups.
Care runs Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and is closed on weekends.
