For Los Alamitos parents who would rather have one consistent caregiver in a home than a large center.

  • 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

Los Alamitos is served by Los Alamitos Unified. School pickup isn’t offered, so school-age families plan their own drop-off and pickup.
