Come See, Come Play, Come Grow! Hi, my name is Mercedes and I offer a wonderful, safe, engaging, and fun environment for you little one this is what I offer you: Our preschool emphasizes the development of the whole child through active learning situations. We strive for a balanced, nurturing, caring, and developmental approach to education. Our program provides freedom for children to have spontaneous play and interaction, where they make discoveries, explore, solve problems and develop social skills. This, in addition to structured, teacher-directed activities in which children learn to focus attention and function in a group, fosters success and positive self-esteem. Our curriculum provides opportunities that encourage the social, emotional, artistic, imaginative, physical and spiritual development of a child, while also offering many activities that allow for development in cognitive-academic areas well as kindergarten-readiness. We also offer the following to our parents: * Monthly Newsletter. * Quarterly Progress Reports. * Field Trips. * Special Events. * Summer Day Camp Program.

CMW IS in Rancho Cordova off zinfandel and international.I have been caring for children for 14 years now and I really believe that being a child care provider takes more than just taking care of children. In this field, you have to be professional, trustworthy, passionate, understanding, have lots of patience, be able to offer a safe environment and most of all, you must be able to work with children. Therefore I put myself in the parent position when it comes to leaving their children with a stranger, so finding the right care provider is important! I really encourage parents to allow themselves to take the time to find that person that would be compatible to their children's needs. In addition to this, I have been continuously taking child development classes to help me and to help the parents understand the different temperaments and necessities of children. My program offers healthy home cooked meals, nutrition is also important, so as a part of a healthy meal plan, we offer ONLY fresh fruits and veggies every day, fun activities for all ages and capabilities, Pre-k program, I am Bilingual in Spanish and English and I will teach your child how to speak Spanish if requested. I will potty trained your child if requested. I offer an environment for your children to learn and thrive in where kindness, friendship, and respect are taught by example. We also offer educational curriculum based on your child's own stage of development. Additionally, we encourage exercise through a variety of fun and exciting indoor and outdoor activities!!! (ages 3 months through 5 yrs old.)
