Why Long Beach families look at a home daycare in Lakewood.
Some families want something smaller than a large center: one caregiver who knows their child well, in a calm home, close to the route they already drive.
- A small group in a real home, not a big classroom
- Anna as the steady caregiver, with 8 years of childcare and teaching experience
- Current CPR and First Aid certification
- Regular updates on meals, naps, play and milestones
- Potty training support that follows your plan at home
- Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
The two cities are closely linked. Much of Lakewood is served by Long Beach Unified, and Lakewood Center has drawn shoppers from both sides of the line since 1951.
