Footprints Family Childcare

Valerie dela Cruz

   I am a licensed daycare provider, and I provide care for children between 2-4 years old.  I graduated from San Diego State University with a degreen in Family and Child Development. I also have plenty of experiences working with kids through Sunday School at my local church. I believe that it is imperative that kids have a positive childhood because it will mold them into responsible, secure, and happy adults.  I love working with kids, particularly the preschoolers, because they are fun, eager to learn, and kind at heart.  I believe that each child reserves the right to learn whether at home, daycare, or school.   Therefore, I plan activities and curriculum that stimulate the kids' imaginations. Each day with the "munchkins" is exciting and fun!, creativity, and thoughts.

Eden dela Cruz

     My mom is also a licensed daycare provider.  She has been around kids most of her life.  She has not only raised two children of her own, but has also helped raise her nephews and nieces.  She used to volunteer at the nursery of our previous church.   Her passion is definitely the kids.  She believes that her ministry is to care for kids, and to provide them with a "temporary"  home while their parents are away.   Her natural mother instinct draws the attention and affection of the kids, especially the babies!  My mom is also a wonderful cook.   She makes sure that the kids eat nutritious and delicious homemade food.  She is also one of the most caring and nurturing person you will ever meet!

Who We Are

     We currently run two daycares from two separate homes.  One daycare (Eden's) is specifically designed to cater to the needs of infants and toddlers.  Valerie's daycare, on the other hand, is designed for preschoolers from 2-4 years old.
