Your questions, answered

Everything parents ask us, in one place

Choosing where your child spends their days is a big decision. Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most from Blossom Hill and Cambrian Park families. Don't see yours? Just ask.

The basics

Hours, ages & location

Where are you located?
We're a licensed home daycare at 1457 Blossom Hill Rd, San Jose, CA 95118, serving the Blossom Hill, Cambrian Park and Almaden neighborhoods.
What are your hours?
We're open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Ask us about flexible part-time schedules.
What ages do you care for?
Children from 0 to 5 years, infants, toddlers and preschool/pre-K. We're licensed for up to 14 children total, kept in small groups.
Are you licensed?
Yes, we're a licensed Family Child Care Home in California, and our provider is CPR & First Aid certified.
Daily life

Meals, language & learning

Are meals included?
Yes. We serve four homemade meals and snacks every day, breakfast, lunch and two snacks, freshly prepared on site and included in tuition. We accommodate allergies and dietary needs.
Is it really a bilingual program?
Yes. Spanish and English are part of the whole day, songs, stories, directions and conversation. Families who speak only one language at home are very welcome; children absorb the second language naturally through play.
Are families of all cultures and religions welcome?
Absolutely. We're a warm bilingual home with deep roots in the Latino and Hispanic community, and we welcome families of every culture, background and religion with open arms and genuine respect. Every child and every family belongs here.
Do you teach math, science, art and music?
Yes, every single day. Children work on early math (counting, sorting, shapes and patterns), science and discovery, art and creativity, music and movement and language and literacy in Spanish and English. It all happens through hands-on play and projects instead of worksheets, which is exactly how children this age learn best. See what they learn for the full picture.
Do the children watch TV or use screens?
No, we're a screen-free daycare. Days are filled with hands-on play, books, art, music, sensory activities and outdoor time.
Do you help with potty training?
Absolutely. We support potty training patiently and consistently, coordinating with your approach at home so your child feels confident.
What does a typical day look like?
Arrival and free play, homemade breakfast, circle time and bilingual learning, lunch, nap/quiet time, then snack and outdoor play before pickup. See each program page for a full daily rhythm.
Safety & trust

Keeping your child safe

How do you keep children safe?
We maintain a safe, childproofed home environment, follow safe-sleep practices for infants, keep low child-to-adult ratios, and our provider is CPR & First Aid certified. Every family is known to us personally.
How will I know how my child's day went?
Every day ends with a personal conversation at pickup about how your child's day went, meals, naps, milestones and moods. And whenever you'd like, just ask and we're always happy to send photos and notes during the day too.
Can you accommodate allergies?
Yes. Because we cook on site, we can adapt meals for allergies and dietary needs. Let us know at your tour and we'll make a plan together.
How small are the groups?
We're a home daycare licensed for up to 14 children, cared for in small groups, a world away from a large, crowded center. That means real attention for every child.
Do you welcome children with autism or other special needs?
Yes, and it's some of the work we're most proud of. Over the years we've cared for several children with autism and other special needs, and we've watched them grow and blossom in wonderful ways, something their families will happily share with you. Our calm, consistent, small-group home is a setting many children with additional needs truly thrive in. We're not a specialized therapy program, but we partner closely with each family, and their specialists, to give every child patient, individualized care.
