Our Teachers

Hello my name is Valerie Ruiz. After working and gaining experience in childcare centers in my area, I developed a love for caring for children. I decided to open my own and started my business in a small apartment in 2016 as a registered home daycare. I have multiple trainings in early childcare development and have received numerous certificates. I am a mother of three beautiful children and know the importance of having reliable and caring childcare. I look forward to providing you with the most loving care possible for your children. We welcome you and your families into our home. We want to always provide an open door policy for our parents to feel comfortable and work together with us to shape and create future leaders. Thank you for trusting in us.

Philosophy

Here at Tiny Turtles Daycare every child is welcome and encouraged to play freely and comfortably just as if they were at home. We provide a clean, safe, and loving environment for each individual child to get the care they need and deserve. We strive to provide the best quality care in a much smaller setting, where each child can be made a priority. By implementing fun and educational activities every child here has the tools and opportunities to grow and learn at their own pace. We believe every child should be treated equally and provided with the best quality care. We encourage every child to break out of their shell. Our curriculum is designed for each child to build their self-confidence and develop the love for learning. We believe every child has their unique learning style. We strive to provide a curriculum that is easy to follow and is tailored to meet the needs of each child individually. Our goal is to provide an environment where the children have the tools and materials to play as they learn. We know that children learn best when they have the opportunity to run, explore, and play freely. Our curriculum is based on hands-on activities that allow every child to open up their minds to new and fun experiences. Providing fun engaging activities will help each child expand their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

Location

We are located off of McNutt Rd., with easy access to a park and Santa Teresa Elementary School and La Union Elementary School.
