Our fantastic outdoor play structure and beautiful big yard excite your little one as they spend countless hours in imaginative and physical play, with the freedom to run, jump, crawl safely. Hot Home-Style Meals, Cooked Fresh Every Day Your child enjoys nut-free breakfasts, lunches, and afternoon snacks, cooked on-site. Fresh fruits and vegetables are on the menu to ensure proper nutrition and sitting at the table with their classmates teaches manners and self-discipline. Your Child Will Be Socially & Emotionally Ready For Life Children have the opportunity to explore, experience, and express themselves through interactive play. They learn from interactions with their peers, and the gentle guidance of loving teachers steers them in the direction of cooperation and kindness. Daily interactions and redirection build resiliency and significantly improve self-esteem. Kids Learn Reflection And Respect Through Positive Communication When we talk with children about how their actions affect others and encourage them to verbalize their feelings, they learn to self-reflect and to evaluate situations. Practicing this self-awareness day after day allows your child to grow to become a caring, thoughtful person and friend. Low Ratios And Two Teachers Per Classroom Mean More Attention For Your Child Our child-to-teacher ratios are significantly lower for younger age groups, even half of what the state requires. We believe that every child deserves the focused attention of their caregiver every day. With two teachers per classroom, your child gets twice the personal care, loving attention, and guidance for their learning and development. It Is Our Top Priority To Keep Your Child Safe At All Times Our exclusive electronic security system provides instant access to your child’s medical info, arrival and departure times, and names of people authorized for drop off and pick up of your child. The system allows only authorized personnel admittance into the building, and security cameras ensure children stay safe and sound at all times. Sparkling Classrooms Kept Clean By On-Site Cleaners Children are more comfortable and learn better in a tidy, organized environment, and parents love how fresh the halls smell and how pristine the rooms are each day. We have dedicated cleaning staff on-site to keep every room immaculate throughout the day. Fun, Meaningful Experiences Get Your Child Ready For School We steadily and progressively build the steps towards Kindergarten, yet encourage your child to delve fully into their area of interest. This blend of school prep, like circle time and pre-reading, with their personalized learning journey, gives your child the best of both worlds: the confidence and know-how for school success, and fun, meaningful play. We Encourage A Strong Bond Between Home And School We host parent conferences twice yearly and request that parents regularly participate in classroom activities, which helps build a stable parent-child-teacher relationship. We are a family-oriented center, which means we cherish the home-school connection, whether it be through inviting parent volunteers or hosting potlucks.

You have several options available to help you offset the costs involved, and we’ve made it easy to learn about them. See What Option Works For You: Child Care Tax Credits A tax credit is even more valuable to families than a tax deduction! It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe. Some credits are refundable—reducing taxes otherwise owed to zero and paying a refund. NEW Federal Tax Benefits: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 enhanced the benefits of families with children and child care specifically. The details of the new benefits can be hard to understand, so we’re here to break it down. Under current federal law, eligible families can claim 2021 child care tax credits up to the following maximum amounts: – $8,000 from the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (up to $4,000 for each of your first two children). For 2021, this is a refundable credit. – $6,728 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. – $3,600 per child under six (as of December 31, 2021) and $3,000 for children 17 or younger (as of December 31, 2021) from the federal Child Tax Credit (these amounts were permanently enacted into the law). There are rules for these federal tax credits, so please speak to your tax advisor about how they apply to your family. In the meantime, this child care tax credits calculator is a quick tool for a broad estimate. State Tax Benefits: Each state offers different tax credits to offset the cost of child care. See what benefits might be available to you in California. Child Care Subsidy Programs If your family needs help with tuition, there are state and local agencies to provide tuition subsidies. This map is a great starting point for finding the financial assistance resources available. Child Care As An Employment Benefit More and more employers add child care benefits to their employee compensation packages because it’s hard to do your job without reliable child care! Talk with your employer or your HR department about whether they offer child care benefits and how to use them. If you don’t see answers to your questions about making child care costs easier, please don’t hesitate to ask! Just call us or drop in for a chat during business hours. how old is your child?

My name is Michelle Raz, and I founded Beginnings Learning Center in 2008. My goal has always been to own a high-quality child care service that provides a clean, caring, and nurturing environment for children. As a mother of three children, I know how important it is for parents to know that their child is safe and sound, and loved. I began my career in child care as a part-time substitute while attending high school and college. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Child Psychology and Early Childhood Education and Administration, I began working full-time as a Lead Teacher and Preschool Coordinator. I am incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in a variety of child care facilities with all ages of children. Those experiences have helped me gain a broader perspective of what child care should be. Beginnings Learning Center opened its first location in Santa Monica, CA in November 2008, followed by North Hollywood in 2018 and Van Nuys in 2020. We hope in the near future to be able to expand and offer high-quality care for more children. I am extremely proud of the learning centers and confident that you will be pleased with our commitment to quality and providing the best possible care for your child. Outdoor play is a part of our everyday curriculum, with at least 3 hours a day dedicated to fun beneath the sun. Spacious Classrooms & Ample Resources To Support Growth Learning stations, including language, math, science, blocks, music, art, sensory tables, fine motor, and dramatic play, invite children to explore through hands-on experiences. Children have the space and materials to develop age-appropriate early literacy, problem-solving, social, and cognitive skills. Qualified, Caring Teachers Use Research-Backed Learning Plans Qualified, caring teachers implement research-backed play-based curricula that deliver experiential learning. Your child receives a solid foundation of academics and social-emotional skills through meaningful play, supervised interactions, encouragement to problem-solve, and the modeling of positive behavior. 3 Hours Outdoors Daily For Play & Enrichment Children go outdoors 3 hours a day, even in winter, to enjoy the fresh air as they build crucial large muscle groups and develop gross motor skills. Classrooms also extend outside with learning programs designed to bring kids closer to nature. Awaken & Nurture The Natural Curiosity Inherent In Your Child how old is your child?

We believe in supporting evidence-based child development. We encourage children to explore and learn as we introduce academic curricula through meaningful play. What does the latest child development research say? The latest child development research shows that children construct knowledge through “hands-on” experience. Our program provides materials and equipment appropriate to each child’s developmental level and individual needs. What classroom materials do you use? The following are some examples of the materials available. Cognitive area: books, puzzles, manipulative toys, pre-reading, math and science tools Creative area: paints, easels, play dough, sensory experiences, materials for drawing, cutting, and other materials to create open-ended projects Gross motor area: building materials, music, and manipulative toys. trucks, cars, trains, climbing toys, and other large muscle toys in the class and on the playground Socio dramatic area: dolls, housekeeping play area, puppets, dress-up clothes, and props that allow children to imitate and make sense of the world around them How do learning centers help my child's development? Participation in play at learning centers gives your child the most extensive array of learning opportunities possible. They develop essential skills such as language and vocabulary, social skills, physical aptitudes, and cognitive skills, like problem-solving. What are your learning centers? The classroom features learning centers to develop language, math, science, computer skills, art, fine, and gross motor skills. Learning centers include: Blocks Music Sensory tables Dramatic play Outdoor play Story Time What can I expect from the Beginnings curriculum? The goal of our program is to help children develop their potential socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our teachers provide carefully planned activities in cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and language areas. What is the teacher's role? Teachers guide and encourage your child to explore and learn and to implement the academic curriculum through this meaningful play. They both supervise and participate in children’s play, modeling when necessary, and also stepping back when appropriate for your child to get the best learning experience at the moment. What Are The Qualifications of your teachers? The teachers are highly qualified and experienced educators that have degrees in the fields of education, early childhood education, psychology, and other related fields. In addition to their academic training, the staff also participates in ongoing training and development with monthly planning meetings and professional association conferences. All employees are CPR and First Aid Certified. Our teachers provide an environment of trust, care, respect, and individuality for each child. How Does Staff Communicate With Parents About Their Children? We will talk to you about your child when you drop them off in the morning, and again when you pick them up at the end of the day. We also provide monthly newsletters with information about the daily program. What information do your monthly newsletters provide? The newsletter outlines concepts and themes introduced in the learning centers, as well as songs and rhymes children are learning. Special events, activities, and parent conferences are announced twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Do You Require Parent Involvement? Parent participation is an integral part of our continued success, so yes, we require 10 hours per school year per child for parent participation. We invite parents to volunteer in the classroom when they desire. The staff can suggest ways in which parents may participate. What is your Discipline Policy? It is usual for preschool children to be egocentric and to act from their perspectives. We talk with children about how their actions affect others and encourage them to verbalize their feelings. It is a slow developmental process, but children learn to respect the rights of others and to become caring, thoughtful learners, and friends. By recognizing and honoring children’s rights and feelings, we have learned that the children eventually show the same respect to others. How do teachers apply this policy in the classroom? We train our teachers in the methods of Conscious Discipline® and Love & Logic®. All teachers at Beginnings use redirection with children when there is a conflict over toys or materials. We encourage children to use language rather than physical means to express their needs and wishes. We are interested in building self-control and self-direction in the children. Physical punishment or “time out” is never used in disciplining children at the school. In discipline situations, our goal is to enhance the child’s ability to function appropriately and self-regulate, not to punish. What is Conscious Discipline®? Conscious Discipline® is an evidence-based classroom management system and socio-emotional curriculum. Teachers use Conscious Discipline® as a way to communicate with your child in a kind and compassionate manner. Modeling kindness will encourage your child to use the same behaviors when interacting with others. What is Love & Logic®? Love & Logic® is a classroom management program that provides alternative ways to communicate with children. Sharing control and decision making and consequences alongside compassion are just a couple of methods used in this system. How Are "Separation Problems" Handled With Children? Parents are encouraged to introduce their children to a consistent staff member, especially one to whom she or he seems comfortable. It is essential to tell the child you are leaving and will return in a short time to pick him/her up. It is best to keep “good-byes” short and sweet. Lingering good-byes can be painful for the child. We will contact the parent by phone if the child remains upset and is unable to participate in classroom activities. We will inform the parents if we feel the child needs a shorter day or other adjustments to make the separation easier. Do Children Have To Be Toilet Trained To Enroll? Children do not have to be toilet trained to enroll in the Toddler program. We know that it is developmentally appropriate for children to toilet train at a range of ages. Our teachers support and help parents during the child’s period of toilet training. Your child must be toilet trained to move up into the preschool classrooms. How Is Toilet Training Handled? It has been our long-time experience that children easily toi Privacy Policy - Preschool & Daycare Serving North Hollywood, Santa Monica & Van Nuys, CA Skip to content Santa Monica (424 ) 425-3510 North Hollywood (818) 855-5466 Van Nuys (818) 855-5960 Youtube We're Hiring!
