Shantivanam Childrens Community

A peaceful, loving, and respectful environment is the best way to describe what we provide the children in our care at Shantivanam Children's Community. Our fully qualified staff provides a balance of age appropriate learning skills as well as joyful and fun activities. With a 1:4 ratio we are able to provide a very individualized experience for each child where we consider their strengths and areas of needed attention. We offer a comprehensive Character Development and Diversity Program that has been developed with the perspective of the young child in mind. In addition we use positive behavior techniques and involve the parents in that process through individual communication and our quarterly Parent Workshops. We are a community of caring and involved parents who understand the importance of the formative years of a child's life. Our facility is unique in that we have the loving home-atmosphere of a family childcare but the equipment and functionality of a small school throughout the entire two lower levels our our tri-level home.
If you feel your child is getting lost in the shuffle at their large center or preschool, or if you are just looking for a quality, individualized program for your child, check out our website at encinitaschildcare.com and you may find we are just what you are looking for.
