Looking for a Small In-home Daycare for Infant, in West Roseville

Contact child action, they can give you so many options in a specific area, then you can contact them and drop in to see the environment, meet the providers etc. That was how we found my son's old daycare, and although it was a very stressful process, we found a great provider close to our home that was absolutely terrific with our child. She held him all day (he was only 6 weeks old when I had to go back to work). After about six months we actually had to ask her to put him down more often, since we could not constantly hold him at home, and he was getting used to that! If that was our only complaint, I guess we should be very happy that we found such a loving provider.

Although we are not an in home child care, we are small and nuturing and have infant and toddler, preschool and full days available in West Sacramento.

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Caring Connection Children's Center wants to get the word out. We are here near downtown Sac without the hassle. An easy drop off point from Davis or Natomas. Get out of the hubbub, high costs and metered parking and visit a quiet, tree-lined street. We are just off the main street (West Capitol Ave) on the corner of a residential area. Our playground is entirely hidden from the street, secured behind the building. Security entrance with code for parents. Safety is always our highest priority.

See the Children's Garden (the lettuce is sprouting). Don't bring anything but your precious child. Caring Connection provides all meals, snacks and (yes) even diapers! Get ready we are planning to add a petting zoo.....you can be there for the start of it.

Our meals are prepared right on site with fresh fruits from local farmer's markets. Our menus are high in flavor, low in sugar and processed stuff. (Can't wait for our own fresh eggs!)

Teachers are trained, continually qualified in Early Childhood Education and committed to the love and attention that YOUR child needs. Our pre kindergarten class boasts our credentialed teacher, Stephanie.

Our entire team is grounded and certified in owner J. Jenkins S.'s philosophy of Enlightened Discipline©. You simply won't want to be somewhere else. This is what you want for your child.

Sure....go to the other schools, homes and preschools. We encourage comparison. But make sure you stop in and compare us, too. You always have a choice. Taste the food, listen to the sounds and speak with our staff. We trust your decision.

Caring Connection has a policy that you NEVER need to make an appointment. Have you ever been scheduled or declined to visit a preschool? Hmmm. Parents and visitors are welcome to see us at their leisure. Come on in! We are here for you and your child.

I took my son to ChildTime when he was 3 months old and he's been there ever since. I could not ask for a better environment. The staff are friendly, nuturing and attentive. The infants are in their own room, separate from the toddlers and older chidlren. Their ratio is 3:1 (if I remember correctly) and there are 3 teachers (Angie, Krista, and Lauren) in the infant room. They do not have much turnaround... most of the teachers have been there for years and plan to stay there. I have been very pleased with their level of care. My son has gone there for almost 14 months and in this time I have gotten to know many of the teachers... each and every one of them has been friendly and available to answer questions any time. The director and assistant are also very approachable. Their number is ###-###-#### and they're on the corner of Pleasant Grove and Foothills. If you have any specific questions/concerns just ask and I'll do my best to give you our experience. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this site.

Check out California Kids in Rocklin on Lonetree Blvd. - ###-###-#### - they have a private state of the art infant room. The infant teachers are just great - Danielle and Teresa are usually there during the day. They play games, are loved, held and nurtured, and blow bubbles which the babies just love. They are really big on sanitation which I also think is so important. This has been a great resource for me. You only pay when your child is there which is also a benefit since many daycares if you commit to 3 days, you have to pay for those days whether your child is there or not.

You'll want to contact Placer County Office of Education (just google them and they have a website). They don't give personal recommendations they just have the entire list of providers in the areas that you want to choose from. Child Action does the same thing but that is for Sacramento.
