Our Philosophy
In our program, we recognize the importance of respecting the unique identity of each child and their family. We welcome families from all cultures and countries and encourage parents to participate in activities and share their own culture, as this enriches and strengthens our program.
We provide bilingual activities to support child development, based on each child's interests and growth. Our daily routines include reading in Spanish and English, mathematics, and writing. Additionally, we offer love, security, acceptance, and warmth, fostering cognitive, social, and emotional development so that children can grow at their own pace and achieve their goals.
To achieve this, we rely on the creative curriculum. We also welcome and support children with disabilities, as we have the necessary training thanks to courses received from various agencies specializing in childcare. Additionally, we provide parents with information about available resources for their children's special needs.
We are committed to our community because we believe it is everyone's responsibility to support one another so that our children can face the world with confidence and security.
We adapt our services to your needs
If you don't need to enroll your child with us full-time, we also offer walk-in child care that's designed to meet your daily commitments. Has something come up at the last minute? Your usual caregiver is not available? Don't worry. Visit our home, where you can leave your child with us at an affordable hourly rate. For more information, call us or come meet us.
Our days are structured around you
When you send your child to our daycare, we will entertain your child with a series of fun and exciting activities. Each day is carefully structured to provide your child with the right mix of learning, rest and play, and we also offer healthy and nutritious meals to ensure children are full of energy.
About Me
Hello, my name is María del Pilar Estrada. I am originally from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, and the youngest of 12 siblings. I studied a commercial career, obtaining my certification as a public/private accountant. I practiced my profession while also teaching literacy classes for adults in my home.
I came to the United States due to the health needs of one of my three children. Over the years, I have worked in various jobs: in the fields, fighting wildfires, in fast food restaurants, and I even had the opportunity to work at OCCD in Independence, Oregon, for eight years. I worked hard to obtain my CDA certification, which allowed me to work in classrooms with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
It was very fulfilling for me to be able to serve the families of this community.After a work-related accident that prevented me from leaving home, I decided to open my own home daycare. Now, I dedicate myself to providing care, attention, and love to the children who come to my home.
