Hi! My name is Michelle but my daycare kiddos and parents call me &quot;Mimi&quot;. I have been providing in-home-daycare for over 20 years; 8 years of which I was a Certified Provider under the Navy's Child &amp; Youth Program. I am fully licensed by the State of CA to run a small daycare, certified in Infant/Child/Adult CPR and First Aid, I have been fingerprinted (along with my all my family members) and passed background investigations by the FBI and LiveScan. My state license is for a capacity of 8, yet I choose to care for 5-6 so that I may spend quality time with the children. I learn so much every day from the children in my care as well as from the parents. We work closely together so that the children create good habits at their home and in my care. I provide your child with a loving, relaxing home setting along with the feeling of being a part of my family and our everyday life. I am strongly invested in the social development of the children; during the day, you can expect your child to work on/learn their ABC's, be active all day while learning about everything around them (touch, smell, sight), we sing songs and dance together. I read books throughout the day to all or each child if they request. I take the responsibility of your child's safety and development very seriously. I participate in online proficiency training along with off site training through the YMCA and other training facilities. I am a mother of 3; two daughters aged 21 and 20 along with a 23 year-old son who has graced me with 2 beautiful grand daughters. Being the mother of 3, even though they are older, we are still an &quot;on the go family. My day care kiddos are always included in family activities and are treated as part of the family. My home also has fur babies. We have Winni our 3.5 year old Boxer and Sylvester and Birdie our 1 Year old Kitties. The children love getting greeted by Winni at the front door everyday. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can discuss your daycare needs. Please text me so we can connect and see how I can help with your child care needs. I have 2 Infant openings as of August 11, 2025. Have a great day and I look forward to speaking to those in need of care. References available upon request.

Shooting Stars Daycare proudly adheres to the highest standards of education and caregiving. This is a licensed home daycare business located in San Carlos, near Mission Trails National Park. My life has been dedicated to caregiving, specializing in infants and toddlers. I've made a career working closely with parents as a Nanny for their babies for the last 20 plus years. Once I had my daughter, I knew in my heart a home daycare is my dream come true. I absolutely love working with children everyday. They constantly remind you of the simple pleasures in life and I feel so grateful to be teaching the next generation. I earned a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, Labor Doula certified, and almost certified as a sleep consultant. A combination of education and experience has taught me the most beneficial ways to help teach and care for our kiddos. I believe we offer so much more than other daycares. Each child is so different and this daycare considers the needs of your unique child. Their schedule is tailored to their everyday needs.We will be setting developmental goals to work towards together each month. Your child won't be forced to adhere to the other children schedule. They will have their own room to nap in. I believe this is very important! Especially for the infants since their schedule changes weekly, even daily depending on how their night went. The best part of my job is growing a strong bond with the parents and their child. I love each baby as I would my own. That is what they need and that is what I will provide. As a parent, peace of mind is one of the best gifts knowing your child is being loved while being educated and stimulated for their individual growth. I've been committed to providing a supportive environment where our child can thrive. Soar like a shooting star in the sky! Please keep reading to learn more about our daycare and I'd love to learn about your family too!
