Parkview Family Daycare and Preschool

Are you in the Lakewood/Long Beach area and needing before and after school care? We care for school age children too! We offer before/after care and transportation to many local schools. Homework help too! We are located near LBX & Lakewood Mall. Give us a call or send us a message 🚌

Parents,
We need your help! Infant care is extremely impacted due to state regulations citing that any child under the age of two years is an infant. Other than childcare, every other publication the state of California puts out considers a toddler from the age of 1 to 3. We need the state to work with us on this and lower the age that children transition out of infancy in childcare programs. Please sign the petition and pass it far and wide.

This campaign needs you now Toddlers Are Not Infants - Childcare facilities are severely impacted.

Our infant spots are spoken for until September of 2024. Please email @ [email protected] to be added to our waitlist.

It’s Super Hero month at Parkview 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

🌻 fix the environment, not the child 🌻 let’s raise a generation that doesn’t question what’s wrong with them and instead trusts in themselves kids that are give freedom and choices to learn and explore what is most intriguing to them if we follow their innate desire to learn perhaps they could teach us a thing or two perhaps if we slow down we can give ourselves another chance too #parenting #parenthood #childhood #parentingtips #nature #nurture #child

We will have full time and part time available next month! Contact us for more information!

I prepped these phoneme substitution cups for next week.I’ll be using them a few different ways with my little learners! #phonicsactivities #kindergarten #kindergartenactivities #firstgradeteacher #secondgrade #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #homeschoolmom #explorepage #teach #earlyliteracy @heggertypa @imse_og

C or K… that is the question? *most* of the time when the /k/ sound is followed by o, a, and u, spell it with C. When the /k/ sound is followed by e or i, spell it with K. Think of the word city— c is making the /s/ sound because it is followed by i. This is why kitty is spelled with k, but cat is spelled with c. #spelling #reading #scienceofreading #literacycoach #parents #tipoftheday #learntoread #encoding #tricks #kidlife #firstgrade #secondgrade #teacherlife

New Research: Kids in Day Care Need More Outdoor Time Kids in daycares are sedentary 73 percent of their day

Toddlers who spent more time outside took fewer sick days — not just when they were napping outside. But, they say, “In other studies there wasn’t a difference.” So the scientific evidence for letting babies nap outside? Mixed, but it seems like common sense for many parents when compared with a germy preschool.

Why Scandinavian Babies Nap Outside In Cold Weather For many reasons, including avoiding germs, cultivating better sleep, and promoting a love of nature, Scandinavian parents let their babies nap outside.

“True learning – learning that is permanent and useful, that leads to intelligent action and further learning — can arise only out of the experience, interest, and concerns of the learner.”

Some good questions parents/guardians should ask.

Questions to Ask | First 5 California When choosing a child-care provider, asking some important questions and getting the information you need will help you make the best decision for your child.

Did you know that childcare centers are required to have no more than 1 "teacher" to every 12 students over the age of two? Can you imagine one person managing 12 two or three year old children? 😬
Here at Parkview we keep our ratios at about 4:1. Children get more individualized attention. We have almost no staff turnover (unlike centers) so your children have the same caregivers for the duration of their time with us. We have children here that have been with us for 10 years. Your child will grow up with the same children and the same caregivers and can often form lifetime bonds.

AUGUST - SCIENCE LAB
This month, your children will explore their natural curiosities and wonder about the world of science. They will have fun experimenting with their senses while exploring matter, mixes and reactions that make up the science of chemistry. In the physics lab, your child will investigate the mysteries of sound, light and forces. During the engineering lab, they will play with magnets, test out parachutes and build with shapes to test their strength. Biology and ecology round out the month. Your child will learn to classify living and nonliving things, encounter the phenomenon of animal adaptations, study germs and how to stay healthy, and learn ways to take care of the environment.

Did you know?
Home Based Childcare Converts and researchers, psychologists, and early child development experts confirm what home-based providers have known all along: a high-quality home-based childcare environment nurtures young children’s social and emotional skills while also growing their brains. A smaller group size–typically 4-6 children—and one caregiver throughout the day and often over several years builds lasting relationships between child and caregiver. This continuity fosters children’s sense of security and healthy interactions with others.
“What children need coming into the world is to be with a primary caregiver, or two, or three, including the parents,” according to Dr. Brenda Jones Harden, Professor of Children and Families at the University of Maryland. “That security is the foundation for how you learn language, the foundation for whether you take a risk and solve a problem, the foundation for how you learn to self-regulate. The best place to get that is in a home environment, which could be the child’s actual home, but can also be a home-based childcare environment or a child-care center that mimics the size and setup of a home.”
