Why Erika's Daycare?

About Erika

I personally know how difficult it is to find the right childcare for your kids, as it is the reason why I decided to start this family business with my mother in the Bay Area. I love my job and can't picture doing anything else.

I started my daycare business over 10 years ago in the Bay Area and continue to work in child care and development in Elk Grove, CA. I am dedicated to introducing the amazing latinx culture to our young future leaders.

As someone who has been working in this field for almost 15 years, I strongly believe that children learn best when the teacher plans their lessons around their interests and help guide them explore the work in a safe, nurturing environment. At Erika’s Daycare, I offer a hands-on approach to help children develop skills with a curriculum that integrates Spanish and English.

All adults at this at-home daycare are all fingerprinted and CPR trained and have experience working with children.

Why I find Bilingual Education Important

Problem Solving

Improve mental processing

Problem Solving

Problem solving skills as many of the curriculum activities involve challenges, and rapid mental processing in order to communicate in English and Spanish

Vocabulary

Improve mental processing

Problem Solving

A larger vocabulary because children will not only study their native language, but also double their vocabulary by knowing concepts and words in a second Language.

Improve mental processing

The brain is constantly switching from one language to another, which speeds mental processing at a young age.

How?

Improve mental processing

Activities are based on children’s interests and needs rather than teacher imposed.

How?

Emphasis on children’s individual abilities, temperaments, interests, and differences.

How?

Bilingual students develop meta linguistic skills at an earlier age than most other children.
